Hey up Norm

You'll love the new bike, i've had my R1200R over three years now and still love it

Might see you out and about on it sometime

thanks, do you know which company made the break cable? ARG! It's BRAKE! Break is when something is broken. Sorry - for some reason that is just like screeching fingernails on a blackboard to me.. I start getting all sweaty whenever I see it.. 8-[ Gimme a brake will ya :lol: Perhaps break is approp...

These are just dust seals, the oil seals are underneath them.

I got a Remus can off fleabay a while back for an RT/ST and that wouldnt fit till the link pipe was modified.
I assume the Akrapovics would be the same with the different part Nos.

Have a look here

One of em might have been me, Were you the chap i was talking to who was on his way back from a BMW club weekend about 18 months ago ?

Hello from a fellow yorkshireman

It has an arrow pointing left and right. But on a circular dial, which way is left and which way is right? Normally, you'd think top of the dial determines direction. But the H and S labels are at the bottom of the dial. It just strikes me as unecessarily obtuse, when they could just say "cloc...

Here's a picture of mine on this year's Round Britain Rally.
Crinan Harbour, Argyle and Bute, Scotland.

I'd get one of these
May be happening soon

Like the sound and the look!

Hmm, carbon one looks nice
Seems a bit higher than stock, will the BMW cases still fit O.K.

Try putting it in gear and stalling the engine, the headlamp might then stay on.

I am using an Airhawk currently, which is a big improvement on the stock seat, but would like to find a better solution. I like the look of your Rick Meyer saddle. Was it made to measure or is it an off-the-shelf unit? Also , would you please describe the benefit you found with the new saddle. I fi...

At last a reliable BMW

Nigel, how are you doing? I said I'd contact you in time for the Imbolc festival but it took place sooner than I remembered so we missed it. Sean Hi Sean I'm not doing too bad mate thanks, hope you're ok yourself, glad we've nearly shaken off winter and can get some miles in soon. I was at another ...

As far as i know the left grip doesn't fit straight on the bar, it's the same inside diameter as the throttle side and is on a tube which slides over the handlebar and is screwed on so should be just a case of undoing it and sliding it off and onto the other bars. At least that's what it was like on...

I went out for a ride at the weekend, just a short blast of about 20 miles, the first ride since september and despite balaclava and full face helmet my face was bloody cold. I hadn't got my tank bag on and i think that is the problem cos i usually have it with me and i've done a ride in minus 7 C b...

Nice lookin bike there Mike, the white ones look cool



Big pile o snow too

If you're stopping the bike by putting the sidestand down with the ignition still on then the light coming on is normal and your bike is working fine

I suppose the only way you will know if you need it is if you end up on the floor through giving it a big handful. Just go steady if the conditions are dodgy and you should be o.k. There's usualy always a lot more grip available than you think unless there's Diesel or something on the road. And if t...
