New member intro

A very kind greeting to all on this forum. Recently came across this site, I thought I was the only passionate R1200s owner :-) Very apparantly not so:-)) I'm thrilled to have found the community for this very special bike. I've got a silver 07 12s that I love to bits. Full Staintune exhaust, hugger, throttlemeister, corbin, factory tankbag and saddlebag setup. Owned a bunch of bikes prior and over the years. British, Japanese and prior BMW's. My last was a 01 VFR. Great bike. The s has more character, sharper handling, simpler engineering, hard luggage; I could go on and on. I just love it! Don't get a chance to check my personal forums often or get the chance to ride a lot, but wanted to introduce myself and say hello. Cheers! Dave.

Welcome Dave, we speak German here. Not much Japanese. Prepare to defend yourself. Is the Canadian healthcare system as bad as we say it is?
