BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I’ve done a route for the Saturday, Thirsk back to Thirsk is 141 miles so my Nav tells me 😀 I’ll be meeting up with Sim so he can put it up in here, sometime soon, because I haven’t a clue how to 🙄 Lunch stop will either be Whitby or Saltburn by the Sea, depending on timings, also a couple of brew ...

Thanks Bob. I'll reposition the magnet later, ready for your next inspection

I’ve been busy appeasing my OCD by labelling the new tool cabinet!

I did look at the Halfords ones, but thought the quality was inferior to the Co Craft one I bought 15 years ago, that still looks and feels like new. Sadly, Co Craft don't make the same one any more or I would have purchased another without hesitation. Quite a few of the mid and top chests are not a...

I've been looking for a middle of the range tool chest for a while as I've outgrown my current cabinet. Finally settled on this Draper 26" from 'The Range'. Even with the £9.99 delivery, it's significantly cheaper than I could find it elsewhere. I wouldn't normally bother with a finance option,...

Bear in mind that the Keeway ‘super light’ is actually heavier than the Cb125f (117kg Vs 134kg) dry weights.

Nice gesture. I would be inclined to get her a Honda CB125F. They're not very expensive, they're ultra reliable and importantly, they're worth more than most when she's ready to sell it and move on to a bigger bike. Check the insurance costs too. My daughter wants to get into riding and her insuranc...

I'm not sure I see your point David (apart from you saved a few £s for using non genuine parts), but you're correct that the invoice showed 5 AW for for service 111 and 2 AW for service 11611. Both items combined were £70 plus VAT

Just the oil change.

£70 Labour
£54.16 Oil
£16.66 Filter
£0.96 Washer

All plus VAT of course

A change of plans meant that I couldn't take my RT for its service. My 'local' BMW dealer has an offer on to collect and deliver bikes within a 20 mile radius. Despite living 29 miles away, they still provided this for 'free'. Whilst it only needed an oil change, I got the usual walk-around video, t...

I use this on my 1200. I imagine it will fit the 1250 just as well

Unlike some, it allows for the Top Box

Yes please.

Much appreciation to B Conway Group for sponsoring the forum.

Your generosity is appreciated by many Michael I’m sure.

Anyone willing to collect. You are welcome to buy my old center stand dolly for £20. It's too heavy to post. In good nick like the one in the like below

PM'd you...

I've already got 4 motorbike and 2 family holidays in the diary for next year. One of those is a fly / ride week in Spain.

That said, I might be able to make all / some of it, depending on final dates and destination.

Thanks for organising it Michael.
