Re: Windshield clunks at lowest postiion

Mine does that too (if I've understood you correctly). I'm not near the bike now so this is from memory but as the screen nears the bottom, it sort of goes down, tilts forward a bit and rises a touch. It's like it's locating in place.

I'd take a quick video of it but I'm ashamed of the amount of ...

Re: Our Other Bikes

This is my other bike. I've had it from new (2020). My RT is a very competent bike at almost everything I want it to do but it doesn't make me giggle like riding this one sometimes can.

Re: What did you do today?

I put a new (to me) seat on mine today.

A couple of weeks ago I did ~2000 miles heading to Copenhagen and back (via FR, BE, NL & DE) and seat comfort was definitely the limiting factor, particularly when I had to ride from Copenhagen to Rotterdam for the evening ferry (the day after I ran a half ...

Yes the start point is the Golden Fleece and normally the start time is between 10 and 10.30.
Thanks for answering.
Unfortunately I've just remembered that I need to stay local (Cheshire) next weekend.

Re: UK Annual Meet 2025

Apologies if I've missed it but what time does the ride start on the Saturday? Is it from the Golden Fleece?

Re: How old is your RT

Mine is a '64 plate' RT-P in the UK (so after Sep 1st 2014) but it's air/oil-cooled so a 2013 model - I guess there is some lag in RT-P build/conversion.

Re: Newbie from the French Alps


You got it ;)
I assume you visited the region?
I'll make sure to share some pics of my future rides around the lake / mountain ranges :thumb:


Yes, in 'the time before children' (> 20 years ago) we stayed in or near Annecy a number of times (summer and winter). Then a few years ago we needed ...

RT-P Owners - Do you use your Aux battery? What for?

I'm trying to decide if my Aux battery is useful or is just a lump of dead weight near the top of the bike.

Interested to hear from other RT-P owners on whether you run anything off your Aux battery (either directly or from the Hella socket at the back of the seat).

On the plus side, every time I see a gritter I'm required to take a small whisky before bed.

Re: Newbie from Staffs UK

Hello from another relatively 'newbie' from just over another border (Cheshire) in Macclesfield.
Not particularly close to Eccleshall I suppose but I do have to be in Stoke three times a week and take the bike whenever I can.

Re: Newbie with incoming 2014 R1200RT-P (Cheshire, UK)

Well I've got the bike now and am really enjoying it. It's a comfy cruiser (that I'm looking to do some weekend trips on in the summer) but it can hustle too if I ask it - I guess the police don't buy slow bikes.

I'm pretty sure I've found the GPS power connection - see photo. Now I just need to ...
