Good catch Jim!

This place is a rare haven because it is a fantastic group of folks - without the people it would just be bare walls.

So I say, thanks to all of YOU Mr. Green

5 years ago I bout my 93K1100rs and this board is were I got the info I needed to scope it out. I love this bike. A good friend of mine was a lead mechanic for Butler and Smith and everytime he sees my bike he points and says "thats the best bike BMW has ever built, right there." I tend to agree, for now. This board has been a wonderful aid as well as helped me care for a lot of issues myself.

Thanks!!

Happy Anniversary Ted. Thanks for starting this up. It seems to have grown quite a lot over the last few years.
Speaking of Butler Smith, I have a buddy in Manila (we met when I lived there) that used to work for them a hundred years ago. I think he's about 70. He may be buying my old Honda Hornet 600 that I 'used to' own there. My soon to be ex-wife has it now - long story. He showed me a photo of himself on a new (at the time) R60/2, He was just a pup then.

G'day Ted

Thanks for a wonderful site that is so full of useful information.

And also thanks to all the members who make this place so special.

In my bookmarks folder on Firefox, I have a section for bikes, K11og is my first bookmark.

May this board live long and prosper ( to quote a famous Star Trek saying)

Thanks from me too.

Without this forum my K1100 would have me already in the looney bin. With the advice I have received here, perhaps I can stave off insanity a bit longer.

(Was that a compliment??)

Thanks, really.

John

Ted,

The thought, that a common interest could generate a community such as this. AMAZING!!! BRILLIANT!!! The amount of combined experience / expertise and knowledge found here, and the fact that is freely shared without a second thought, is truly amazing.

Thanks,
Roy S.
