Hi everyone! New to this forum, but not new to motorcycling. I've been at it for fifty plus years (ok, there was a 20 year break when I had a young family). I'm a retired USAF aviator and ride a BMW K1600GTL. Though I'm an ATGATT kinda person, I guess even at 66 years old, a fellow can still have the need for speed once in awhile can't he? The wife and I just completed a 9,000 plus mile journey (confession: we have a toyhauler fifth wheel and travel with our three dogs) to the Maine coastline, then back west to Idaho before returning home via Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. During the journey, among other things, we did Tail of the Dragon and attended two rallies: Americade and the BMWMOA rally in Salt Lake City. I'll be posting more photos in the following days. I'm looking forward to getting acquainted with other motorcycle nuts, particularly in the Central Texas area. BTW with reference to the photo taken on the Dragon ride, the wife and I had swapped helmets because she had somehow developed a terrible hotspot. The swap worked just fine!
