Hello all,
New to the Forum, and a new owner of a 2005 R1200rt. Love it.

I've been a long-time motorcycle rider; started out on a mini-bike in 1969 and have owned many bikes since then. A 1999 Honda Blackbird, a 2010 Kawasaki Concours, a 2011 Suzuki V-Strom (wee), a 2013 Yamaha WR250R, a 2011 Suzuki TU250x, just to name a few. I'm a bit of a motorcycle junkie, and should probably be in a 12-step program

As mentioned above, have started a love affair with the RT.

When I become accustomed to this site, I will post about a couple small wrinkles I have encountered. (one is a fuel gauge not working despite the fuel strip being replaced less than two thousand miles ago.).

How are you all? Is everybody happy? If not, make the choice. :)
