Warm goodbye and fond memories

It's been a year and a half since I became a part of this very informative group. And now, it's time to move on. I bade farewell to my trusty Roadster yesterday and hopefully, her new owner will take care of her the same way I did. I do miss her. Although I've been more of a lurker in this forum, I'...

Your right to be proud of that video, well done! However, how did you manage to make it without getting one shot of a jeepney in it? They were every where when I was there last.

CONKED!!!!

After taking the bike on a 580km trip the other weekend, I decided to park the bike for a week and bring the wife and daughter out the following weekend to earn some husband and daddy points (for another long ride) :wink: Today, I was itching to take my baby out for a spin around the neighborhood.

Happened to me early this year. First start of the engine, fuel just started to leak coming from under the tank. Had it checked. Turns out the tip of the rubber hose had some cracks. Had to take a real closer look to notice. My friendly local dealer mech replaced it.

Part of the deal I got with our local BMW bike dealer when I purchased my 02 Roadster was I would get a set of brand new tires and a battery at no cost to me. A couple of days ago, the Bridgestone tires arrived and though the right size came for the front (120x70x17), a size 180x55x17 was delivered ...
