had a K100RT

When I turned 40, I bought a used K100RT. It was a great touring bike. My wife and I took several overnight trips around Illinois and Wisconsin. My longest trip was Chicago to Boston and back, alone. I also commuted to work in the Chicago suburbs on it in good weather. After surviving for three years without an accident of any kind, I pretty much of got it out of my system and sold it for what I paid ($4500, as I recall). Now, we tour in our 1983 Mercedes Benz 280SL. With the top down, it's a similar to a motorcycle, but much, much safer. For really enjoying the surroundings, we ride our Cannondale tandem. From time to time, I think about having a motorcycle again, but so far have resisted the temptation. Good luck with your choice, and ride safely.
John.
