Re: Anyone drop/crash their R12R whilst with BMW cases fitte
I had a low speed crash (reported here several months ago, accident occurred august 6th), and upon impact with the road surface, the right oem BMW case popped off of the moto. The good news is that the BMW case created a safe zone for me. I only sustained a bit of road rash and bruises.......the mot...

Re: moto accident
Thank you to all of you that wished me well! Yes I'm counting myself very lucky, I had x-rays done of right hand, right elbow, right hip, showed no broken bones, lots of contusions, scrapes, seroma on the hip, bursitis in right elbow> but I'm on the mend, and I am feeling well.

moto accident
Unfortunately, I was struck from behind in Maryland (if you are familiar with the area, the MacArthur BLVD exit ramp off of Clara Barton Pkwy, to be exact) two weeks ago. Thankfully, traffic was moving slowly, and I was wearing my protective armor, sustained minor bumps and bruises. My 2011 R1200R, ...

Re: Traveling from DC to Philly, Saturday morning,
It was a Fantastic Ride to Philly and back to DC. I dressed as recommended and was warm the entire way, even though the temp was 39 degrees when I left at 5:45a.m. this morning. On the ride back, the temps were in the 60's, great weather.

EZ Pass.
I have a motorrad jacket that has clear plastic window on my left sleeve, and I'd carry my ez pass in that compartment.
But my new jacket does not have this clear windowed compartment. Where do you all put your ez pass so as to allow you to "zip" through the toll stations?

Re: Paint protector/cleaner/polisher
So, are you all saying, that S100 is contraindicated for our R12R's? Is Griot's a much better, safer for the finish on our bikes?
