I'm an old bike rider / racer , but new to BMW bikes .

I'm originally a South African living here in UK since 2006 .

Began track racing back in 1975 on a 200 Yamaha RD .

Then raced various bikes all the way until 1989 .

Then started racing Off Road , Enduros & hare Scrambles , all the way until 2006 .

But now I've bought a second hand R1100S last week & have managed nearly 200 miles , with a big smile !!!

So I hope you will all forgive me when I ask a few questions as we go along .

I've not played on a road bike for many years , always naked dirt bikes , so I've got to get used to removing tons of plastic bits just to check a battery or what ever ...

I'll be asking stupid questions ...

Other interests , hobbies , a bit of mountain bike riding and air rifle field competitions .

Yes the battery is in a bit of a buger place but on the posative side you can do lots without an engineering degree.
You will like it here and I'm sure you will enjoy th BM.
