No. You're the only one.
Just kidding.
FYI: You can sort the Memberlist by location if you're interested.

problem is, 375 of the people on here don't have a name or a location - they're just a handle... Even searching the memberlist won't tell you what you want to know.
There are 6 people showing in Denver - eman308, ken, Ray FitzGerald, Mike M, scameron and Crispy Chicken.

Just looking to see if I can find local riders who may understand that riding a BMW doesn't have to include a $400 per month payment, and working on it yourself can be a source or pride rather than something that only the poor do. LOL
I bought a BMW because I want to ride, not to shine it.
I went on Saturday to a meetup, and the only thing that the people I spoke with knew about a K1100 was that it was an old model?
It is a 1997. I have never owned ANYTHING newer than a 1997 let alone a motorcycle. Doesn't mean that I wouldn't like a newer one.........just don't need one to enjoy riding a motorcycle.
This week we are heading to the Grand Canyon, visit a friend in Phoenix and back in a week. Last week I was caught in a snow squal.....I ride pretty much all the time, and odds are I will have more miles per year than most of these guys with the $15,000 motorcycle.
I just don't have to worry about scratching it..........so that I can try to sell it for $10,000 two years later (pristine shape, always garaged.....LOW miles......
Anyway..........looking for someone fun to ride with.

Hey man welcome to the site. You and I have a lot in common right off the bat. My local BMW club the president was sporting a 2008 GS Adventure. That model was 20,000 dollars off the floor. 20 grand.
Don't get me wrong, I like new stuff......but only when it gets old.
No, I don't have a lot in common with those people at all.
As my wife likes to say, "I think we get along better with poor people".
(The newest thing I own is a 2000 Jeep, but that's because my buddy sold it to me for 2300$.)
Enough of the rant, welcome again, some really good peeps here.
-D

Hear Hear, well said gents. Just because it's old, doesn't mean it can't still perform. After all look at us

I've looked at new models but this one I can work on. I have come to understand it. It's hot in August but nice and toasty in the cooler months. I live with it and love it because I understand it! If something goes wrong, usually with the help of this site  , I can fix it. The newer models are right off to the Stealer's.

I'd never own a bike I couldn't do all the work on.
And I don't like the plastic on the newer bikes. I think the front fairings and headlights look like something from a bad Jap sci-fi moive.

Hey Ken,
I live in Arvada. The Colorado BMW Motorcycle Club meets every Saturday morning in Morison for breakfast at the Red Rocks Grill. Be there at 8:00 for breakfast or 9:00-9:30 when a ride usually breaks out with 1 or more different groups going in 1 or more different directions. All riding levels are welcome. Pretty good bunch of guys, and a few gals. The 19th is the traditional Peak-to-Peak ride ending in Estes Park for lunch. Seems we just ride to eat somewhere.
Hope to see you there sometime.
