New to me R1200RT in Queensland, Australia.

Post by Marvin2Shoes »

Hi all, I am in my late 50's and have taken an eleven year break from motorcycling due to my health. I have just decided to join the other brave souls duelling the may-be-texting, may-be-daydreaming car drivers on the roads.
Covid (and higher petrol prices) has taken a massive toll on the second hand (and new) bike market here in Queensland. It is very much a sellers market presently.
Servicing, accessorising and polishing to do!
I have been immersing myself in the posts here and have found many good suggestions and technical advice about the bike. I look forward to chatting with everyone here at some stage. Hello to all :-)

G'day Marvin, I have just joined this forum too having just bought a 2014 RT.
Which part of Queensland are you from? I'm in Hervey Bay.

Hey there, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner... For some reason there was no notification.
I am based in Townsville but spending time in Toowoomba regularly. I have family in Brisbane and Mooloolaba so I often come up your way on the way home. How's the RT treating you? Any pics?
2011 R1200RT Highly Modified
