| 2001 K1200RS - my 1st BMW. I just loved this checkerboard bike, which I kept for 5 years. I added some really cool touches like the custom seat cowl, painted bag lids, Two Brothers exhaust. The bike was beautiful to look at, and a pleasure to ride. (above photo - fall 2001) |
| 2002 R1150RT One year with a BMW "R" bike (traditional opposed twin) was all I could take before deciding that I really loved the 4 cylinder BMW K bikes (so I'm not a purist!). (photo - spring 2002) |
| BMW CREDITS There were a very lot of modifications to the '01 K12 , and years of maintenance and tweaking with all our BMWs. Thanks for it all goes to the staff at Cross Country BMW of Metuchen, NJ |

Stu's Motorcycles What I was riding, 2001-NOW
| 2003 K1200GT The minute BMW announced they were adding a few touring amenities to the K1200RS and releasing it as the "GT", I ordered one. I picked up this bike in early '03, and still have it. (photo - summer 2007) |
| 1987 K100LT I always wanted an older K-bike, but would have probably never purchased one, as I really don't have the patience for antiques. Completely unrelated - I had tremendous admiration for Malcolm Forbes, a man who could have anything he wanted - and what he wanted and loved was to ride motorcycles. Serendipitous as could be, I was given the opportunity to own this 20 year old K bike, which was purchased by Malcolm Forbes in 1987, and lived in his garage at Timberfield until it moved to my garage in the summer of 2007. The bike was impeccably maintained, and is a real pleasure to ride. I think of Malcolm Forbes, who I believe did more to legitimize the sport of motorcycling in the U.S. than anyone before or since, every time I ride the bike. (photo - summer 2007) |
