Introduce yourself

I have been riding bikes from before I was 16. I started riding on an agricultural Honda 90 and then moved on, when 16 and licenced, to a Yamaha MR50. Next was a Honda 350/4 which was an amazing machine and I stupidly sold it for a Ducati 860GT. Ducati in those days, as I found out, had not much reliability but when it went...it went. As I was communting to work I needed something reliable and sold the 860 for a Honda CX500. Shaft drive and water cooled it was an amazing machine and I rode it happily for many, many years. After a sebatical of a few years from riding bikes the need for speed and a new bike became too much. So I bought a 1150GS in Jan 2001 and this started my allure with the new generation of Beemers. I have owned in total 14 of them and presently own two: a GSA1200 LC and R1100S Randy Mimola Limited Edition.
