BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I’m putting my Carpuride W502B Pro up for sale soon as I’ve managed to get my Tomtom to stop interrupting and ‘bong bong-ing’ with the sat nav notifications. Bought in Dec ‘24 but not used until the sun shone, so new and used maybe six times, but too technical for my aged faculties. PM me if interes...

Pairs, but I change tyres before our annual tour regardless of tyre wear.

I’d rather not TBH…

I have a set of 6GT’s (from Two Tyres), new discs, and pads sat in the garage ready for fitting before our annual Greek pilgrimage in May.

It’s always nice having new rubber isn’t it?

That’s a pain isn’t it? I did the decent thing at my last house, warning several of my neighbours that I was painting the fence, that I would be very careful but it was quite possible that some of the paint would dribble through onto their sides. All were OK but one - what colour and shade was I pai...

The sun is shining, the winds are light, the roads are dry. So what am I doing?

Decorating the lounge…

As have I… nice to know my recommendation worked Stu

Managed to get out for an hour today, the new ( used) boots are a bit disappointing, a little tight around the ankles but very hard to change gear getting them to bend to get my toes under and over the lever, do these Daytona boots loosen up at all ?, also no real feel for the lever either and noti...

I was in lane 3 on the M27 and approaching a dumper truck in lane 1 when his gearbox exploded, it was really spectacular with lumps of metal flying all over the place! Some years later going ‘briskly’ down the A15 in Lincs and saw a large tractor with 4 wheels on the rear axle coming the other way. ...

I had my front one straightened here in the UK a couple of years ago, no problems.

Yamaha YBR125's are another good option. Good luck to her! Always nice to see the young un's getting into biking. 🏍️ And in my experience women are so much easier to teach than blokes.. no testosterone and they don’t sulk if they’re corrected on something. Plus, when they pass their tests it’s a wh...

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. I used to do CBT’s with the CB125’s which performed stirling work, and despite various students b...

Took my mate up to Motolegends via some twisty backroads… a pleasant day out.

Their coffee is very good, plus he bought some of the new Held boots, which are a close copy of Daytonas but a good bit cheaper.
