Hello from PA, USA - fungo522 - 07-02-2020

Hello everyone, I just found this site and am glad to have the chance to get involved here. I have many questions about the RS as I am a relatively new owner of a 2016 RS.

Welcome, fungo522. Congrats on the RS! But first, concerning your new steed, answer this :-)[Image: 61435ff7553bb07a8f863d90c8b48dcf.jpg]

Haha ... and you know that the answer is Granite Grey! Big Grin

Thanks for opening up this sub-forum BTW. Hope others from that neck of the woods (if any) chime in here as well.

Just in case anyone was wondering, in having geographical sub-forums the intent is to focus more on perhaps rides and topics more pertaining to that area, but only as an organizational tool. All members can see and participate in threads in those areas, and vice versa.

Well my bike is the Lupin blue and I really like it. My friend Barry who works demos for BMW told me he thinks it the nicest color also.

Mostly Montgomeryville Cycle since its only 8 miles from my house but I go to Hermy's too. Hermy's serviced by Triumph Sprint last winter and I get up there from time to time.

I've been dealing with them for a number of years. IMHO, the service and replacement part prices are good.

A properly developed sense of humor must occasionally include a Monty Python reference Big Grin

If you're old enough to have seen the stuff...........


Hello from PA, USA - Duccrazydave - 10-17-2020

Old enough, indeed. I like to think of it as perfect timing and circumstances. My Mum’s an Oxford native. Which meant, as a child, ‘Flying Circus and the Marty Feldman show on tv on a regular basis.

My folks lived near Penn State. That meant, as a small child, whatever was on our single TV station signal was on TV.

But, then again, I'm thinking there's a difference between Oxford and State College, PA. No Inspector Morris, for one thing......
