Greetings Louie in NorCal from NorAL.
Sorry for the demise of your previous m/C; glad you’re happy with your new Beemer! I know you think your big GSA can stand up to most anything, but the Law of Gross Tonnage states bad drivers are out to get you. So beware & be seen! I like to use Skene LED lights {front & back} which do tend to make U more noticeable. Just my 2 cents; worth every penny U spent. You’ll see many providers of conspicuous LEDs on the MOA website and in your Owners’ News! – Shop around… We want you to survive the San Fransisco concrete jungle. Loud Pipes may save some people, but Loud Lights won’t piss everyone off as much.

You might consider this club for some new acquaintances:

And U can look up random BMW riders by state in the MOA Anonymous eBook found under Resources.

Happy Trails whenever U can – Ciao!
