New R1200R Owner
Most of what I know about the bike I learned on this site. And it seems as if I learn something new on each visit. Thanks to you all. Looking forward to this riding season.

Welcome to the ride ! You are going to love this machine as much as the rest of us.
You realize, of course, that the cost of the bike is simply the down payment on the farkles
You are also now obligated to give us recovering test ride victims a running dialog on your progress
Stay safe out there !

Wecome,
Cool picture. My garage is such a disaster. A homespun friendly mess but a disaster none the less.
Go easy on the throttle. You have the fastest color.

What is happening to my skin?
Where is that protection that I needed?
Air can hurt you too

Re: New R1200R Owner
That garage pic is killing me!!! I've got to push the bike backwards up an off-camber incline to thread between the car and the edge of the door with the spring hardware sticking out in order to end up in a little wedge of space next to the shelves within the single car garage. That was a big plus for the R12R, the light weight makes it possible even though I've got to adjust my approach and start over about a third of the time.
Enjoy the bike!

Wow, I now have garage envy. Nice colour as well, there is not many other bikes that wear the colour white as well as the R12R. Happy riding 
Re: New R1200R Owner
You need some tacky pictures on that wall. Some pin up girls from days of yor.
