Hey, another Texan joins the herd! Howdy, Michael.

I'm just north of you in Denton. And another Michael, aka Bengt Phorqs, calls Bedford home. Also our semi-silent but always vigilant Chief Moderator, Justin, is in Crowley. Other Texans on board around the State, too.

Posting snaps is easiest by using a web-based photo storage such as PhotoBucket. Scale your photos prior to posting. There's pic posting details in General Announcements. We love photos. No photo? The bike does not exist. But you already know that!

Welcome to the show, Michael.  Fort Worth huh?  Good town to come from.  Keep reading the forum.  Somewhere on here there's talk about an R65 specific rally to come this Fall.  And if you're interested in something more immediate the DFW BMW riders group meets every Saturday morning at 0745 at LePeep in Bedford.  Monthly meeting is second Tuesday of each month at the Spring Creek at 121 and Central in Bedford.  On occasion Monte and I have met for brekky at the Blue Hanger in Argyle on Saturday mornings.  Nice ride up, cute wait staff, cheap food, fun to watch the classic planes take off and land except for when they get hit by pickups.

Welcome Michael,

I hope we can start having RTE's or something soon...


And we're still brewing a date for a mini Rally maybe in September...

We'll be happy to give you our "opinions" on any question you might have...
