Hello

[Anonymous]

:lol: Hello, my name is Debra Anne. I just joined this group(having been led here from a magazine). I live in Houston - just south of Tomball.
I obviously have a 1973 BMW R/75. I purchased it from my dad 3 years ago.
I haven't been able to do much riding since then other than to ride it to/back of Sturgis, SD in 2000.
I also own a 1993 Honda 250 Nighthawk-my baby.(I rode her everyday for a year for work)
I look forward to being a part of this group and riding more and more in the upcoming months. :bigokay:

Welcome,
I live in Magnolia, so we'll have to hook-up for a ride some time. Scott(Tourmiester) puts on some awsome rides as well. Plenty of riding on this site. Very cool people too. :chug:

Welcome Debra Anne! My first bike was a 92 Nighthawk, though mine was the big brother to the 250. I love those nighthawks! Pretty impressive, having a "vintage" German bike, is it like new, or well used? I'm not in TX, just yet, I have been waiting to get the manning level back up here, before I can move on to a new job within my company, to TX. When I finally DO make my way to God's Country, I will be living about 1 1/2 hrs west of Austin. Again, welcome!

Howdy Debra,

:tab Welcome to the site. What magazine did you read that mentioned us? I don't advertise this site in any magazines. So now I am curious ;-)

Adios,

:lol: Thank you for the warm welcome.

To answer your questions,
I prefer not to be a weekend rider, I would ride everyday if I didn't have to dress in heels/dresses for work.

1. I found this group in the Ride Texas Oct issue

2. My BMW is currently in well used shape. All original though, fairing, saddle bags. My dad rode it everyday for 5 years. From Texas it has been to Canada, Sturgis, North Carolina all through the Rockies, up to Ohio and back in the winter-snow, sleet, etc. It has an excellent mechanical history and will run at 90 all day - I know because I have done it.
My goal is to get it into "vintage shape" but still ride as often as I can.

My nighthawk is in great shape, except for where I dropped it the very first day!! My only -as of yet- accident.

I am excited to be meeting some riders. I am married with 4 children so I don't want any wives upset with me for riding with their husbands. My dad/mom have a hd w/ sidecar. I am hoping to get to start riding with them-they also live in Magnolia, John. :mrgreen: :eek:

Welcome Debra Anne. Dont' swaet the wives getting mad if there are any. They'd just upset because they haven't figured out how much fun riding is like you have. :wink: I saw an old Beemer on campus Friday. If I see it again I'll have to take a closer look. It was the first I've seen there. It looked like a late '70s/very early '80s twin with some cast aluminum lace wheels. It was in really good shape, so it was either owned by an older student or a professor in all likelihood. There are a few exceptions, but most of the older bikes around here look like older bikes, so it was nice to see that one. :-D Once again, welcome to the group. We're just one big happy family of riders who seem to be growing in number at an amazing rate.

Well I can't say I have seen a harleyw/ sidecar running around yet. Also ditto on the wife thing. My wife wants a bike, and plan on lowering my SV for her & getting something else for me. Probably just another SV :chug: :mrgreen: ... Don't hate me Scott :angel: :rant:

You can't miss my parents bike. It is hd Orange with a dark green sidecar. He just put the sidecar on it in August. He used to go to the Blue Door alot :chug: , I doubt that he does now that my mom rides with him everywhere.

:lol:

I also have in my garage a 1970 BMW , it's my son's, it runs but is in need of some major work. He has all original stuff - new gas tank etc, just needs to put it together.....since he has a car, it hasn't happened. :(

Thank you again for the warm welcome to the group. :mrgreen:

WELCOME!!!!!! :-)
