New R1200R Owner

Post by websterize »

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. =D>


You realize, of course, that the cost of the bike is simply the down payment on the farkles :mrgreen:

You are also now obligated to give us recovering test ride victims a running dialog on your progress :lol:


Stay safe out there !

If I was you I'll photoshopely remove some elements of the garage... then make a flash to spin the whole picture. Or just upload a diptych with one reverse.

Such a beautyyyy !

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.

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 :smt023
