BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I remember years ago when I was a traffic cop, getting called to Woodall services by VOSA. They’d been doing some spot checks on LGV’s parked up and had found a driver without an LGV entitlement. Turned out that he’d renewed his licence and CE was missing. He produced a photocopy of his previous lic...

Our blood bike charity has recently acquired an RTP. The police wiring and equipment has been removed, but the dealer had to fit a separate switch and wiring to get the horn to work and pass the MOT. Why they haven't wired the horn directly to the horn switch is beyond me as to press the horn I have...

That was my thought, as it happens so infrequently.

I get a burnt oil smell from mine now and then, when I'm stationary, smelt it this morning when I got home after doing 35 miles. There's no sign of a leak and the levels ok. I don't worry about it, I could always use a peg, problem solved.

I replaced mine this year, it was the original battery. I suspected it was on the way out a while ago, but my Dutch trip this May forced me to do it.

Welcome to the forum, I'm in Dawlish but in the process of moving across the Exe to Exmouth.

I've just subscribed. great source of information.

I had my annual MOT last week, after my heart attack 6 years ago. I’m 6’2” and still the same weight I was when I was 16, 76kg.

Emley moor tv mast, they must have finished the repairs

I won't be making it this year, I've booked onto a 10 day trip, at the beginning of September, round the Black Forest and France with a group that I'm a member of. SWMBO has said that she wants to get a river cruise in as well, that's my summer booked up

I use them all the time, really good in my opinion, never had any problems with creases.

Looking at the marks on the covers they are doing their job and I would definitely leave them on.
