I'm new to the Forum. I'm Peter Rasmussen a 68 year old, who just bought a bike after a 27 year hiatus. I live just outside Santa Fe New Mexico. I have live here for about two and a half years. I love the sun, but am confused by how the state handles winter. I originally from Wisconsin and if someone told me the city was going to basically shut down because they received an inch of snow i would tell them their crazy. I just bought a 2004 BMW R1150R with just under 13,000 miles on it. I have ordered a Tow Pac conversion kit but it hasn't arrived yet. I hope to have it within the next couple of weeks.
I know my balance isn't as good as it once was and I lost a lot of confidence when to of my co-workers were killed in the same year while riding. Thus the trike. I have missed riding, but my wife has been against my getting a motorcycle but has relented. I have a couple of friends here in New Mexico that ride together and they have encouraged me to join them.
I don't have much room to store my bike and have been told that under no circumstances will one of the cars sit out so I can park my bike in the garage. l going to need a quality cover for the trike and hope that someone here can recommend a high quality cover for my machine. I look forward to getting to know some of you and certainly hope to meet you in the future.
