Welcome and congrats on your purchase!
Stef.

All very valid points! I agree with websterize, watch the other drivers very carefully. The other day I suddenly drove right into a rain storm which appeared literally from nowhere within seconds. The driver in front of me slammed on the brakes and came to a stand still for no particular other reaso...

THE GPS part is really bizarre!

I wish to express sympathy and condolences to all the people of Japan in their hour of crisis and to all of you out there who are either directly or indirectly affected by this catastrophy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire population of Japan that the death and injured can be kept...

Congrats on your new purchase! I am sure you will love it even more once you have put some more miles on it. But got to say "Blue" is the colour to go white might be second...
Stef.

Really sorry to hear about you rough start. Hope all iwill be sorted soon.
Stef.

Welcome to the forum!
Stef.

Sorry to hear about your crash! Hope you are recovering soon. I have the SW Motech mounted as I talked to the BMW guys over here and a rider had an accident with the bike which would have been a total write off without the guards. The rider was fine. Frankly, but than I am probably a less adventureo...

Great story! Love reading every line of it- keep the updates coming!
Stef.

Hehe- that's funny. In my home I am the garage opener for my hubby...
Stef.

Thanks for the info. Yes I have by now realised it is either new cable done by BMW or perhaps there is enough play once I do not twist the handlebar towards me when mounting the riser. At the moment I can in fact turn the handle bar fully in both directions but the brake cable seems to be sligtly on...

No I have not gotten it into my house, but I am about to start my new riding season. By reading this thread once again..I have realised that tampering with longer brake lines is not a good idea but that this has to be done by the dealer. Nevertheless, need to give the handle bar risers one more try ...

I have just tried to mount my new Touratech handlebar risers on my R1200R (2010) and it seems like the cables (brake) are getting to short. Am I doing something wrong here as some of you said you did not have a problem with the length of the cables? How does a cable extension work? Where do I get th...

It will be interesting to find out how you like the comfort seat. I can't wait to get my bike back on the road (perhaps next week?), but I don't want to insure it just yet, because we had some snow the other day here in Vancouver.
Stef.

Thanks for the link- useful to know.
Stef.

I must say first of all- I soooo envy you that you went out for a ride...can't wait to get my bike back on insurance and back on the road. I have met quite a few Harley drivers over here in Vancouver and must say I always had a nice chat with them. One even walked up to me and said that he wanted my...

hjsbmw- no I do not think it is a battery issues as stated in my first post. I had just replied to the suggestions that it "might" be the battery. It made as said all the right sounds and it is still pretty brandnew- so no...I hope not. Time will tell. BTW Merry xmas to all of you and than...

Bigeasy- all what you said makes perfectly sense and I am fully understanding that batteries are wear and tear and they might go earlier, but...mine is just 7 months old and as said a couple of weeks back it did not give me the slightest problem before. Unfortunately I don't have a garage - it's par...

Thanks for your suggestions re insurance. I have my bike twice per year off the insurance: winter and believe it or not but also July and part of August as I am travelling every summer for 6-8 weeks to Europe. We have the basic insurance with ICBC (no other choice here) and an additional insurance w...

Thanks for all you suggestions. LumpyCam: I did use the throttle a bit and it did not work- unfortunately. Liam: Thanks for all your suggestions. I had done most of them...apart the one with the mice...didn't even occur to me that they might nist in my bike! The bike is currently under a cover and o...
