Eric B. Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 It's so great to step up to my dream bike, a 1200RT. I owned a '83 RT for several years. Recently, I have been riding a Suzuki GSX1100G. I have put a few hundred on the newer RT and I have to say I am in love! I am a big BMW fan and we drive a 5 and a X5 as well. Looking forward to forum participation! My local Mottorad dealer is Cycle Specialties in Modesto. Ride Well!
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Cycle Specialties has a hell of a parts crew. Welcome from just up the road a bit.
Bill_Walker Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Welcome! Please fill in your profile a bit so people understand your context when you're posting. Boy, do you live in some prime riding country!
Dale SC Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Welcome! Love Sonora, we used to ride their for breakfast at the Miner's Shack, sorry it closed down. Live in SC now, but bought my bike (and still get parts) from Cycle Specialties, good folks their.
beemerman2k Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Most beautiful area of the continental USA. I'm sitting on my RT as I took this picture. Back then (May 2005, I attended the 49'r Rally that weekend), I only had a 3mp Sony pocket camera. Thus all the banding with the sky gradations of blue. Anyhow, welcome to the web forum!

Jovial Henry Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Hello. I know the area well. I live in Mountain Ranch area, 15 miles east of San Andreas. Beautiful riding in the summer over all of our passes. Winter I stay down around the many lakes etc. This is a great board. Know you will like it here.
baggerchris Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Welcome. I also live in Mountain Ranch, about 2 miles from the aforementioned Jovial Henry. This area is one of the finest in the whole State for riding. Carson; Ebbetts and Sonora Passes, Hwy 49 and Yosemite!!!!!! Yipes!!!!!!!!! Who could ask for more!!!
Eric B. Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 Thanks all! Love that Sonora pass pic. Been over that a few times. Love to do Sonora, Mono, Ebbitts as a route. I want to do Sonora next year on a bicycle when they open it. They allow bicycles and walkers a week before cars.
SageRider Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Welcome, Eric baggerchris nailed it: Hard to beat: Carson; Ebbetts and Sonora Passes, Hwy 49 and Yosemite!!!!!!
Paul Mihalka Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 You all are wetting my appetite. Hope to be there in September!
kmac Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Welcome to the site Eric B. and congrats on the new RT. I am jealous. And that riding country is really nice stuff, its like a sore peter, hard to beat.
Eric B. Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Well then, fall is almost here so let's do some Sierra riding! My Olympia air glide 3 pants just came and they are great! They also zip to my Cortech jacket which was a pleasant surprise. I also have matching Neotec helmets coming as well. Thanks for the warm welcome!
mrduck Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Well then, fall is almost here so let's do some Sierra riding! Thanks for the warm welcome! Post it, and they will come (and then, you'll probably not be able to get rid of us!) Don J
