BMW Luxury Touring

Welcome!!!

The BMW Luxury Touring community exists to promote a friendly, on-line community specifically related to luxury touring on BMW motorcycles. The information on this site is primarily related to the BMW's Flagship Motorcycle - the BMW K1200LT; however, all riders who like to travel two-up, enjoy the better things in life, and share many common interests amongst the larger BMW Luxury Touring community are welcome to join in on the fun.

The heart of the BMW Luxury Touring web community is the Bulletin Board where we share information about technical issues, accessories, and experiences about BMW's line of Luxury Touring Motorcycles, including the K1200LT, R1200RT, and K1200GT. We also share great stories of our adventures and make plans to get together again.

As some of our members have said so well, "It's the bike that brought us together, but it's the people that keep us together."

And as others have put equally as well, "Just Ride It!!!"

What happened yesterday, why have we been offline? Yesterday we put another milestone in terms of our backup strategy into production. We now have an offsite database server, shadowing the production data up to the second.

Attention all AOL customers. AOL in its infinite wisdom has again decided that since we are (of course) sending a lot of emails (every time a member subscribes to a thread they get information when something is posted to that thread) we must be spammers, and therefore ALL the emails being sent from this site are SILENTLY deleted. While this may or may not be a... [Read More]
