New Member Introductions » Hello from N. California

Just traded my FJR1300 for a 2018 R1200RS. Holy moly this is a beautiful machine. I took some time off work and spent 4 days becoming one with my new bike by tearing up the N Cal roads. I feel like I went from riding a tractor to driving an F1 car.

Understood. Suckered into the marketing, I rented an FJR1300ES in 2014 thinking it might be a nice bike, but other than my fascination with the electronic windscreen and a few good memories in Vermont, after 2500-plus miles, I found the set-up was more like an old snow mobile than a sport tourer.

My RS came along the next year. An eye-opener. Had a couple K-bikes, but have to say never thought I'd own a boxer. What a blast.

Welcome aboard.

Have fun.

Welcome!

I lived in Napa back in the 1980’s and still fondly remember those Nor Cal roads. I especially liked it when it was 100 degrees in Napa, I could climb on my bike and ride thru the redwoods out to the coast where it was 70 degrees. With a 30 degree temperature drop, I had to pack a sweatshirt! Bliss.
