Meeting the "god-mother" of my 'bike
Several years ago, when I first moved to the foothills, I would commute by car, taking Highway 50 from the hills down to the valley. There were several mornings where I would see a beautiful BMW R1100RT making its way through the traffic. It was a breathtaking Mist Green color; both its color and its shape convinced me that this was the motorcycle I wanted to have when I could afford it. Well, it turned out I got a very pretty burgundy R1150RT instead, which was nearly identical in shape to the older model with just a hair more displacement.
Today, as I was riding in to work, I happened to catch up to what I believe to be the very motorcycle that caught my fancy so many years ago. At first, I did not realize it was that motorcycle, but thinking about it now, I'm certain that it was. We were both stuck in a little traffic jam trying to get to the freeway entrance, so I was able to exchange a few words with the rider, but not much more than greetings and compliments. Quite exciting, though, to meet the rider and 'bike that helped get my 'bike and I together!
