BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Led another ride out for the local IAM group, around 140 miles through County Durham & Northumberland.

Wee run from Glasgow to Oban and back, crackin day, lovely scenery and about 10 deg C and dry so not bad.... pic from the top of the Rest and be Thankfull, now open after the landsip. You can see the slip in the picture, a grey bit that caught the current road and the old road below!! When you drive past there's some big rocks there that look as if they could come down 

Not sure how big a file I can attach... here's a better one

Topped the bikes off with Stabil and fresh fuel today and then tucked them away and plugged them in for the winter. You can ride all year here if you really want, but for me it’s only enjoyable from late May to early October.

Booked the GS in at Williams for it's annual service, £182 for Engine oil and filter and Final drive oil change.

Drink as much of their coke, coffee and tea as you possibly can. Then start on the biscuits. Don't have a poo for a couple of day and then use their convenience, bog rolls aren't cheap these days.

Cheers Mike, I will duly oblige!  8) 

I can't even get a coffee at my local BMW dealer - another victim of Covid-19 !  >:(

Well the last couple days have been busy. Had a couple friends come by.  First day took a ride up the foot hills parkway a short hundred miler. Second day we did we did a trip to Murphy nc up through robbinsville over the cherohala skyway back down ball play road 190 miles the leaves are pretty this time of year.  Some places in the high country there already gone.  Bu5 nice the ride the cooler weather.

Drank copious amounts of coffee (6 cups & 6 biccies) whilst waiting for my bike to have an oil change. Some lovely bikes in the showroom and very tempting for sure  8)

Went to Silverstone to watch the father in law race his Formula Junior car.
Motor racing's never been my thing but an enjoyable day out all the same.[attachimg=1]

We had a nice run out round Cheshire and Derbyshire.
