I was aboard a 2015 Yamaha FJR for 6 years. Loved that bike but wanted something less massive. Bought a 2020 r1250r last fall. Only took it out 5 times and I knew I missed the front faring protection. I just traded that r in for a 2021 r1250rs. I'm very anxious to log in some serious miles on this rs. I've already added bar risers and lowered the pegs. I'll be 71 in June.

Congrats on the purchase. Did BMW set-up a new shop in P-burgh?

Mosites carries BMW in North Versailles, southeast of Pittsburgh. I got my rs from Kissel in Tyrone PA, about 120 miles east.

Josh's shop is about 30-miles SE of me. He's been developing a good reputation and supporting/sponsoring various events.

Kissel is where I purchased my new to me 2021 RS. Tyrone PA is a little over 100 miles east of Pittsburgh.

Megan, the parts and accessories person at Kissel's is top-notch. I was looking for a set of helmet pads that were out of stock at the distributor. Megan, accessing some dealer database, sent me a list of dealers that had stock on hand. There was no profit in the deal for her, but she did the work the distributor could (should) have done. In these days of confused supply chains, that's really helpful.
