Hi All!
Glad to be back to RT ownership
I’ve been hunting for a locally owned RT in really great condition and was finally able to find one (only took a year)
I’m pretty much a solo rider and 70 years is coming up quickly so I have a. Feeling this will be the last one
I’ve put thousands of miles on BMW’s and Harley’s and have no prejudice to a brand, but I appreciate a great all round bike and for me this is the one.
I’ve owned 3 RT’s and 05 and an 11. I’ve also owned an 05 K1200LT which I felt was the best for travel but any more they’re just too large.
This 2015 will need front shock seals and a rear shock replacement courtesy of the know all California shock guy. I’ll so the front struts here. Other than a few farkles it’s bone stock and runs exactly as you’d expect. New tires arrive today. The ones on the bike were very low mileage but 6 years old and in AZ they’re dried out. I’m an advanced armature detainer so the entire bike has been gone through with a high shine and paint corrected, looks like you I bought it.
Anyway, I really look forward to leaning on your knowledge and expertise and in advance of my almost certain questions I thank you all in advance.
Very sincerely,
