New to BMW with a "new" 16 year old R1100S.

Hi there.

I've just bought a 2001 R1100s in grey. My first ownership of a BM but loved the R90s I tested in the IoM back in the last century. It was probably 1978 as I recall Mr Hailwood's comeback win. My previous bike was sold 3 years ago - a 1974 850 Commando Mk2a, which I had for 10 years or so. I'm based near Loughborough, and will probably just read a lot on here for the time being. Cheers.

Steve.

Thanks for the welcome notes f90x; Herb and Boxermed69.

Herb, I see you are in Lutterworth. I grew up in Dunton Bassett, and went to Lutterworth Grammar (as it was then) from 1966 to 1973. I've 'vague' memories of the Fox Inn bike nights on Fridays.

I am from Gosport originally, been here in or near Lutterworth for 11 years.

My son went to what was Lutterworth Grammar, now Lutterworth College. He left 3 years ago. I imagine it's changed quite a bit since you went. The Fox is still there, but we would only go there for the Thai restaurant upstairs. My local is the Red Arrow.

Welcome along, enjoy the forum

Welcome , Now that is a bike that I've always admired although never actually ridden.
