WELCOME-- this is such a good group that some guys who don't even have R65's any more still hang out here... And some of us have owned bigger Beemers and have just fallen in love with the R65 because it meets the "Goldilocks standard"-- it's just right. By the way, I was a little disappointed that your nickname didn't mean you had found the secret that Weight Watchers is still seeking (Monte would probably call it gluteus minimus)...
