Greetings and thanks, Justin B. for the welcome aboard!! I am looking forward to this forum and getting back to BMW's. I have owned an R1200C Montauk (too big for me) and almost bought an R65 but my buddy was putting a side car with it. I was amazed at the comfort and handling of the R65 and couldn't figure why he would mess it up with a sidecar??!! I currently ride a '05 KLR 650; '03 Buell Blast (fun bike); and '79 GL1000 that I am marrying to a Friendship II sidecar - hoping my wife will enjoy that as she is not much for biking. I also have some time on an R75/6 with a Ural sidecar - see me on page 35 of the summer '07 issue of "Hacked" giving a Veteran and her friend a ride at the VA poker run in Asheville put on by the Concerned Bikers Association (ABATE) in North Carolina. Enough blabberng...thanks again for this Purposely Disorganized Forum!! TLT
