Sounds like a good choice. It seems like it only comes in black, though. Not so good for those of us in warmer/sunnier areas.

Spending the weekend at Barber Motorsports at BMW Vintage Days. Also went to the Barber motorcycle museum. Over 2000 motorcycles along with an excellent collection of Lotus road and race cars! Weather was perfect.

On the RT-P the top box is where the radio equipment was mounted. So, it's really just an empty box with an aluminum plate underneath. Still, it has a good bit of space inside. I have a backpack that fits perfectly inside my radio box. Nice, locking storage! The backrest is nice, too!

Very nice! And what a bargain!

It's the last day of the BMW Motorcycle Owners Association rally in Lebanon, Tennessee. I've seen license plates from Alaska (!), Oregon, California, Maine, and places closer. Excellent seminars on travel, technical support, and many other subjects.

Gaze upon the 'Tree of Shame ...

That's rough! Even my welds look better than that!

Valve checks on my 2013 R1200RTP are pretty easy. But, changing the little 'semi-sphere' is a PITA. Only because they are only available from BMW dealers. And there is no way to know what you need until the valve covers are off. Here in the USA, they are $12.73 each. So getting an assortment is very ...

Told to cut the front grass again. Did the rear 3 days ago. I have to do everything while she lies in bed 24 hours a day. I have to do everything. After 10 months of illness, I hope she gets better soon. It's knackering running a house single handed.
One plus. I now know which aisle everything is ...
