The most beautiful places to see: Surroundigs between Gouda, Rotterdam en The Hague. The Hague (and schevingen) is nice to see, Gouda, Leeuwarden and Amsterdam also. Groningen is also nice, when you travel east there are lots of nice places to drive and hang-around. I'm not so fond about Rotterdam. ...

Just buy an original bolt at your dealer, or get one at a carshop.
Then you need to go to the hardwarestore to get the proper nut which fits the bolt.

The shocks on the rockster are the "S" shocks. They are a little taller than the "R"shocks. Last year, I replaced the standardshock of my R with Hyperpro's . They costed me about 200 euro's and my bike rides much better with them! :D The looks you get is about the same as with th...

I choose a black R1150R in february because of the ABS. My last bike, a R1100RS didn't have it, I couldn't miss it anymore. The coupled brakesystem? I don't have any remarks on it, it's only coupled when you use the front-brake. I drive troughout the whole year so when it's wet you will appreciate t...
