After my 3rd Practice with my dad as a tutor in familiarizing myself with the R65 at the University of the Philippines Large construction yard, being tired of doing firgure 8's and practicing u-turns, I suggested having a short ride around town just to unwind and cool down before returning home.
After riding and arriving at another part of Metro Manila, we decided to call it a day and go back home.
In a large stretch of Road where there aren't many cars and traffic a Large Black Bike zoomed by Me and My dad. That Black bike, which has the word K1200RT and a BMW Badge on it stopped at the next stop light and waited for us there. I went next to the K1200RT; It's rider flipping up his modular helmet and said "That's really an R65?! It's the first time I ever saw one of those."
We exchanged and told each other quick stories until the stop light turned green.
My dad said I got more attention riding that 29 year old bike than his R1150 GS Adv, which the rider on the K1200RT simply waved a hand at.
That was a humbling experience.
