When refueling the other day two guys in their 20¡¯s complimented the bike and it's DO paint. They were familiar enough with BMW¡¯s to recognize a classic airhead and the ¡®rad¡¯ paint, kind of refreshing.

Your statement-----?The first day I owned the R90S three people stopped to talk to me about it---------One day as my mate and I walked back to our bikes we saw a rather elderly lady looking at my R90S and my mate Suzuki. After salutations she said that in the 1950¡¯s used to belong to the Ariel Motorcycle club. That, off course, started a conversation about bikes. We enjoyed listening to her as she went back in time reminiscing about her motorcycle adventures as a ¡®rebel¡¯ teenager.
?
When she was about to leave she looked at both bikes, approached the S, looked at the instrument console and said that she liked it. When I asked what she likes about it, that is, the colour or perhaps the fairing, she looked back at the Suzuki, back at the S and smilingly said ---All of it.?

Well that¡¯s a R90S for you.

In 34 years not a single person has ever commented on my K100. The first day I owned the R90S three people stopped to talk?to me about it. I need to get a Do Not Touch sign to leave it on!

I grew up on a horse farm. Riding this "new" R90S is a lot like riding a new horse - both of us feeling each other out. I get the distinctive feeling when I start it up, that something really great, or really bad, is going to happen :-)
