Hi Grant,Welcome aboard. I did much the same as you - hadn't ridden since 1987 then passing Experience BMW one day last November spotted "Enzo" a big red R1100RS that looked really nice gleaming in the sun. Since then we have enjoyed 20,000kms mostly two up. We have an active riding group from this register that meets every other sunday so bring your K100RT to Auckland and come stay with us. Time it that you too can enjoy one of the legendary Bwucie's rides. Great opportunity to learn with fellow littlies, oldies, newbies and born agains.Cheers,Herr and Frau Baron
