RE: Welcome new members - 3

Nice one Holger!
Hello, I'm TimMc from Australia, 53 years young 😁, own one R1200rs about a year, done 9,000km and mostly happy with it. Thanks for letting me in 😬🏍

Hello everyone this is Richard230. I just signed up thanks to the demise of the R1200RS forum. I just wish we could recover all of the three years of great posts that are stored somewhere on that missing site. I live in Pacifica, California and hope to contribute occasionally, once I figure out how this forum functions and have something funny to say.

I'm back as well! Didn't post much on the old site, however, I spent a lot of time there and feel like I know all of you pretty well!

MexicoMike here from the old forum...

BUT :( I'm thinking of selling/trading my RS for something lighter (weight, not color). ;) In any case, good to see someone has "leaped into the breach", so to speak with this forum.

That's a shame, I think it will be a difficult bike to replace it does everything I like to do so well. Do you have anything in mind?

I'm kicking around thoughts of a Ducati. My wife has a Diavel and although on paper it is heavier than the RS, it feels much lighter/more nimble to ride. I might take a look at a multistrada. I have considerable experience on Ducatis but they were all sport bikes (900SS, 916, 996). I've never ridden a Multistrada but my wife's Diavel is in for a service at the local dealer so I might try out a multistrada there when we go to pick up her bike next Tuesday. Of course, I may come to my senses! ;)

Adam from Massachusetts here, was a mostly lurker occasionally poster on the old forum... Left it for winter and was sad to see it gone! Glad to have this back now.

Nice to see a new forum up and running

Also joined the new forum now, after feeling serious withdrawal symptoms after the disappearance of the old forum.
Already did around 5000 km this year and now at 12000 km in total since buying the RS in September last year, still loving every km on the RS!

Just got the link from Bub. Thanks for setting this up.

I created a link and made a remark on the most important Dutch motor forum, in the RS section. Hope this helps.

And a tip: Why don't you make this official "welcome" sticky so it stays on top of the list?
