I just purchased a 2020 R1250 RS. Before this motorcycle, I have owned many bikes... from cruiser to sport bikes and a recent Goldwing (2018).

It is very excited to own one of the legendary motor Nd looking forward to put a lot of miles on it.

Welcome to the Forum Community and to BMW ownership. Love Japan. Was supposed to go there this year on a business trip but due to the pandemic that was cancelled. Sad

Hopefully COVID-19 will be under controlled soon. I cancelled all my International Business trips this year as well, better to be safe than sorry.

My statement might be a misleading. I am station here for my company, not military personal. I am in Yokohama.. not far from Atsugi.

Thank you for your service, sir.

I do go shopping at Costco Zama often which is very close to Atsugi. Many service men/women shop there as well.

Not in the camp, but fairly close.
