hello, tell us what kind of bike you ride and post a picture about it too.  :) 

I ride a K1200RS. My bike was custom painted black at the showroom, before I took delivery and has a long list of modifications. for the list of mods, go to my K12RS.com web site and click on Everything Aftermarket.

Nandi 2.0 is the latest incarnation of my own black K1200RS.  This baby is a very spoiled K12RS, with a built date of 5/1999, and delivery of 11/1999 and ridden in early 2000.   It currently has over 54,000 miles.  Its name is Nandi, named after the famed white bull that lord Shiva (India's most popular god) rides upon, in Hindu mythology.  

Nandi 2.0 refers to the new incarnation of this bad boy.  Which includes, new paint job and this time, BMW Sapphire Black Metallic, Power coated rims and passenger grab rail and food peg brackets.  New Remus Genesis exhaust system, with ceramic coated headers and Carbon Fiber canister.  New Remus modified, Rhine West chip.  New steel braided brake lines by Melvin. K&N filter.  New aluminum speedo rings from Hornig.  Stealth and aero rear seat bag by Ztechnik.   New set of black powder coated driving lights by Motolights, running 75 watt bulbs.  Newly painted front turn signal lenses and clear, after market lenses all around and many many more.  All installation and service has been performed by the enthusiastic team at BMW of Manhattan Motorcycles.

I was lucky enough to get one of the "last" R1150GS Adventures. This photo is from one of the more recent camping trips. Just added the standard stuff for a 6'3" guy. Plus a few farkles.

I ride a few BMWs, including an R11RS, an R12GS, an R12RT and an R100CS, circa 1984. I've worked to set all of them up to go pretty much anywhere, any time.

Here's my 04' adventurer. Without a doubt the best bike i've owned so far for camping and long distance touring.

I've worked hard getting it to where I can carry all my gear and still have room left over. The Ohlin's shocks made a difference like night and day. XM radio and my Garmin GPS make long day's easy.

Looking forword to putting many miles and visiting many places in the next few years.

This is my first bike and I choose a 05' F 650 CS. Mostly commute back and forth to work. Living in North Carolina I have the opportunity to ride all year.

Just joined the xplor.

This is my 2nd Dakar, it's a 2005. First love was a 2000 Dakar, B&W with tinted tall windshield. Decided to get it after watching 2000 Paris-Dakar BMW victory on TV, which was the same year they came up with the Dakar "replica" and all new F650 bikes.

Finally, one day I decided I "had to" switch back to BMW after a couple of years of misery on a Ducati Monster and a Triumph tiger.. (nice looking and sounding bikes but they are just not tough enough)

So here it is.. Enjoy...

Here we are with my '75 R90/6.  I think we were enjoying the road to Deckers, CO.

I stepped gingerly back into riding after a long hiatus and have been loving every ride.  Downside is that we need a bigger garage before I can expand my "empire."

Been on the other forum for a while but kind of new to this one.

Another question:

Can we upload more then one photo per post?  If so how?

Enjoy, Mike
