Title: I'm back
Post by: arlahile on April 08, 2007, 12:10:46 AM

Just want to say howdy. Back after being busy.

Still have my R65 and my R1150R, still enjoying the Sierra Nevada on the R65 from my Fresno base. We have even enjoyed some dirt roads together recently.

Almost bought a K1200R, but thought better of it. Too long and would need too much done (time, $$$$) to turn it into what I want, which is a sport-tourer/do everything machine. But I sure did enjoy the smoooooooth P-O-W-E-R!!!! WOW!!!

Going to the 49er, and then the MOA in WI. Maybe Paonia.

Cool.  I was wondering if we'd lost you with the rapid moves, but I guess not.  I mean, we didn't WANT to, but it could have happened.  Keep wearing out tires!

Yeah, good to have you back, Arla!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]  Was wonderin' if you sold your R65 and moved on, or what!

Of COURSE I didn't sell the R65. I've had a few airheads (R75/5, R80"S", R80RT, R100RT), one in particular is missed more than the rest, but honestly the R65 is the best of the bunch. I can embarass the K12 guys in the local twisties (well, what did they expect with a damn-near 70-inch wheelbase? Hello!?) - giggle. OTOH they just may be bad riders...

I know I am very late in saying Hi to you Arla and welcome back..I was wondering as well where ya went....just as I was telling Aïda when we met in Raleigh last Fall that our forum has me, Arla, Melena and Joan representing the female side, you disappeared! Being so active before, it was noticed you were AWOL but Aïda took up the torch big time and helped fill the gap!!  Hope to see you in WI.

Glancing at the logs it doesn't look like Arla has been logged back in since this post.
