I'm new to the world of BMW motorcycles. I recently bought a new-to-me 2002 K1200LT, and I'm loving the ride. My previous bikes have included a number of Hondas and Yamahas, going back to my first in 1964, a Honda Super Cub. Then an early 70s SB400, followed by a 99 Roadstar, which I still have and ride. I've been retired for a few years, and have been doing a fair bit of solo touring through Canada and the US. My wife will be retiring in June 2010, and we plan to see a little country together on the K12LT. The get-together in Redmond may be on the agenda, not too far for us, we're located in Canmore, Alberta which is a little west of Calgary in the eastern Canadian Rockies.
I hope to meet a few of you down the road!!

Hi Robb, greetings from your neighbour to the East. Another CDN BMW pilot is always a good thing. Make sure you hit some rally's with your long distance machine- Lunatic Fringe which was right next door in Cochrane last year, a great BC Beemers event in the summer and the big one, the MOA national rally in Redmond, OR next July. Maybe I'll see you on the road!

And greeting from your neighbour from the west. Anything I can help you with just let me know.
Don’t forget to look us up at the Calgary Bike show in Jan at the MOA Booth.
Martin.
