Re: Royal British Legion poppy appeal

Got 2 British Legion Light up Tommy figures which look great in the garden. What I do object to is paying £60000 wages to a Diversity and Inclusion Advisor for this charity!!!

It was taken in good faith and duly put upright. This was more of a prompt looking at the L Plate on the Vespa. ;)

Re: What did you do today?

Nephew was pulled for L Plate not being mounted upright at 90 degrees. Let off with a warning by a bit over zealous cop, but technically the policeman was correct.

Re: R1200RT low seat compared to R1250RT

I know the low seat has very minimal padding and is a pain in the backside after an hour.

Re: R1300RT Prototype

Wow, that looks awful maybe the stealth colour makes it look worse. Front mudguard needs complete redesign to eliminate a need for fender extenders .

Re: Preaching to the converted.

Never had a problem with my BMW top box , panniers and standard screen with any lightness or weave. I do find that if tyre pressure is slightly low it does drop into corners more.

Re: Preaching to the converted.

I suspect tyres rather than a top box for your symptoms. Are you using 36 front and 42 psi rear and what riding mode are you using?
