I had an accident in France in 2005. Legal cover did not include Europe! Started with a UK based motorcycle claim specialist. They were very helpful however We had to use a French solicitor,  who was arranged by UK solicitor, I was never billed by UK company, however French system takes 20%...

Thought this seemed a good solution to whet should have been sorted by BMW. Then had another thought! Has any o e had their Sat Nav stolen? Also the cost of protection, if this was a house worth 600,00 the cost of perhaps preventing theft would be 145,000 , not a good proposition? So think I will st...

I had two of these sensors go on my 2005 bike,  so sounds like problem.

Went down the Brenner pass Austria to Lake Garde  0 degrees and snow on my visor!  2and half hour journey took 4 and half.
Traffic jams and coluldnt see where I was going.
Off to Rimini for the MotoGP next weekend , hope weather improves .

Just returned home from trip to Portugal via France. Found two speeding fine notices on the doormat! Both from new stealth radars which do not have warning signs prior to them. These are a new thing in France to raise revenue. Both are for €45 so not a great amount compared to some you can get. One ...

If you have "All risks" on your home insurance contents policy,helmets and clothing will be covered by this. When I had a big accident also found out optional accessories, ie back box is not covered on Bike insurance, claimed on house cover instead.  Plus Bike was only 1 month old...

I live in Shrewsbury, if you need any recommendations for where to eat on the Saturday let me know. Ludlow a good place to visit, bikes tend to park on the right hand side of castle entrance, large paved area. Normally street market on Saturday just drive past it. Never eaten in 2 Henry's but believ...

I enjoyed service when run by Daniel Morgan. Was surprised when he sold to Blade. Most of the staff stayed but did not look as happy.  Not used much in last two years as done my own servicing. But shame to see a dealership close, competition should lead to better service?

I have used a Werks  screen this year. Did not find shipping costs too bad, can,t find paper work to tell you how much [size=78%]I find it better than standard screen, seldom use fully up. In mid position keeps visor clear of bug  splats  and rain.  However I do&a...

When my bike was written off at 1 month old had no problem with valuation from BMW insurance. However Top box and other additions which can be added after factory build were classed as "optional extras" I had to claim for replacement of these on home all risk insurance, along with leathers...

You need the BMW car type connection, a 3.5mm jack and USB cable one end and IPOD connected the other. Try Amazon a lot cheaper then BMW make sure it is BMW compliant as I had one which looked the same but did not work.

Had 3 sets of these on my old RT (2005). Excellent for my money. Wore well and gave confidence in the wet and dry. Seemed to always get them for a good price. Always changed as pairs but front would have lasted longer.

I had my Autocon SPA installed by dealer. also had it transferred to loan K1600GTL. I bought a Bluetooth unit for this bike to connect to audio and sat nav. Worked but bypassed the magic wheel so only got loud! On RT I have fitted the Autocom switch to the speaker wires. Works well, situated switch ...
