I'm off for a ride and I'm sure to post a tag pic so instead of have the tag thread full of remarks I'll post this here.

Where do I get the ST-owners hat with BMW roundel on front?

I think that you go to BMWMOA for that one...

Nice color!.. Very curious to see how you like it. I have a feeling we'll see just how resilient an RT can be.

You must have all of those Tom's wearing on you!! You went and drank the Kool-Aid and look what happened!!

Things will never be the same.

Is there a congratulation in order?

Oh no you didn't. Great find as I've been thinking when mine goes belly up I might have to get me a RT. Or I may do like you Raymond and have two bikes. Because we both know it's its a long time before these ST's go belly up. People keep buying these bikes and liking them which is a good testament on this board. Again nice bike.

You and I are riding around on John's leftovers. Congratulations. It's a great bike.

I guess it's time for me to reply. I've had the bike 6 days now and although it's been hot and slow going I've somehow managed 1,318 miles since I picked it up from Nashcat.

I would say I like riding it just fine. I got my ol Garmin car type GPS mounted in the GPS dash pocket and I switched seats to a better seat. I managed a 302 mile run today with only one stop light stop in the run. It took 6.00 gallons of gas, I was using midgrade 89 ocrtane gas which made 50.333 MPG at an almost constant 70 MPH from my fill up in Old Town FL. to Pensacola. I think I got around 43-44 running 80 from Nashcat's to home last Sunday so good mpg I'd say.

For more RT info read all about them in Mellow's mega RT thread!!

Congratulations on your new motorcycle. The Alpine White is very elegant.
