Newbie in the ranks.

Lurking has to stop. Have enjoyed this sight for awhile now and decided to make the first step. 3 weeks ago I found my first modern BMW love toy in the form of a 2004 R1150R. Madness came over me and I purchased this fine, well taken care for and spec'ed out machine. Makes my R65 seem like a Radio Flyer, albeit a wonderful wagon it is. Having lusted for this exact bike for awhile, I have to say it is exactly what I wanted and even got my GF a helmet as she wants to ride this.."sexy machine". Works for me.
At 6'2'', I find the pegs a little high and am wondering if someone out there may have a set they may want to trade for a set of Motolights. This is not set in stone that I want to get rid of them, or that I want peg extentions, but I can see it as a possibility. I am I south Louisiana and look forward to traveling with the bike and hope to meet some of yall one ride.
Whew...that was easy.

Fishing and enjoying this cool weather in beautiful LA!!
