Continuing, in 1998 We visited a rally in Greenfield, MA (local to us), and I zeroed in on an R1100RS which. Put 40k miles on this one. Great bike. Me ant Steve in VT. His was a 1997 model:

Next up I got a 2005 GS in preparation for an Alaska trip:

Sold that one as it was just too big in the garage and went to a Guzzi Breva thinking it would get away from rear drive failures. Didn't work out. Traded after two seal failures in warranty:

Went to an F800ST which I took on several nice trips:

Next was a Yamaha FJ-09. Great bike but cheap hardware and used a chain:

Getting rid of the chain I went to an R1200R:

And finally the R1200RS (if I didn't forget anything). You know what they look like so here's pic of my collection at one point:

Ok Time for some of you others to do up your history.
Thanks for watching, Ain't
