As some of you would know, I sit in wait of my new K12lt.
Still another nine days to go.
However Niel at our local BMW dealership offered me a R1150RT for the weekend just to help me though the drought. You don't realize how much you like something until you can't do it for a while. I worked Saturday till 2.00pm so went for a ride on my own later in the afternoon. The seat was on a funny angle and I kept sliping forward into the tank. Tried to see if it was adjustable but couldn't work it out while on the ride. When I got home I had a decent look and found the Lock on the back of the bike that removed the back seat, then you can remove the front seat. Found the seat adjuster thingy and raised the front of the seat. Ride today was much better. Cathy came with me today, we only did a little over a 100klm but it was very enjoyable. Went up a new road running from Peachester toward Maleny, Steep narrow and very winding. Not all that smooth but the suspension on the RT was great. Some fantastic veiws of the Glasshouse mountains and coastline from this road. Stoped in Maleny had a drink, then rode up the Tourist road across to Mapelton and back home. I think this will allow me to make it to the delivery date without to much emotional damage..
Thanks Neil and thanks to Coastline BMW
