Hi Guys,

Just picked-up a super clean 2016 RS (White/Blue)....so far so good!

Very experienced (seasoned) rider with many bikes and miles under my belt (but 1st BMW)!

Looking forward to learn from you guys and contribute where I can!

Welcome to the site.
We run down to your area each spring for a week or two.
Maybe we'll run into each other.

Welcome from the bay area! I also bought mine about this time last year. This is my most favorite bike I have ever owned. Hope you enjoy your new toy!
