Re: What I think I know

The OEm quick disconnects are black plastic. The replacement/upgraded part is metal, and can be purchased from Beemerboneyard.com I'm on my second R and have been riding them since 2003. Sometimes I get new bike fever, but nothing has made me want to take on a payment because it is that much better ...

Re: BEAKSTER BASH 2016!!!! MARATHON NY - Three Bears Inn

Here is a link to weather.com averages. I would expect anything from 25-75 degrees. Some of us have been snowed on in WV during May, but we have never been roasted out. Waterproof gear would be a must, and heated jacket liner is nice to have. But May is a great time to ride. Hope to see you there.

Phil,
If it is somewhat on the way you all can stay here to break up the trip.

Re: Fuel stabilizer

Do you have a trusted friend close by, who could take the bike out for a ride every 6 weeks or so? I have used both Stabile and Seafoam

Re: Throttle Body Sync Tools

I think that you and I checked my bike on the twinmax, and then on the manometer. If I recall, they both read almost exactly the same. Your manometer was a lot less $, but at least I only paid half on the Twinmax. No matter what it is always helpful to have a second set of hands so one person can de...

Re: 2016 BMW Bash

Sorry, I haven't been able to do much. I've been way too busy at work, and up at 2 am way too often since my last post. I was thinking about somewhere around Clarksburg, WV or Morgantown, WV. But I haven't done a thing. I may have more energy in a week or two.

Re: Last Chance Rally Sept 25-27

I had to drive to Pittsburgh that weekend. Daughter's Irish Dance Comp. She did well, and I was able to stay somewhat patient since they got 2 hours behind. The great thing about hockey with my son is that the rinks usually run like they are the German rail system. Almost everything starts exactly o...

Re: Wind Screens

I started with the touring shield and then downsized to the Sport shield. Both were kind of noisy and i had some buffeting. I used those for a combined 3-4 years. and then I switched to the fly screen which was an improvement on both. I really liked it and have had it on for 5-6 years. I wanted to s...

I made it to Athens but had to turn around. I had an issue with the front fork that I couldn't resolve on the road. I won't see you guys this weekend.

Re: 2016 BMW Bash

My goal is always to be in good riding areas, but also have some access to the highways so you can get there and get home at a reasonable rate. I have a couple of ideas, I just need a little time to think and do some recon. I like Elkins, but there may be a couple of places that would work a little ...

Re: 2016 BMW Bash

I will put my thinking cap on and see if I can come up with something. I have a few ideas.

I also believe that Marietta was in Yankeeland, but just barely.

I am holding out some hope of making it to Hungry Mother. I'm trying to figure out some stuff in the grand schedule(both work and home). Work may be the more difficult thing since it has rained forever, people are starting to ask if we will open on Sundays so they can get back on track. I may not kn...

I'm guessing the roads are straighter and flatter than they are in West Virginia.

Re: 2015 Bash May 15-17, Staunton Virginia

I think that it was just my fuel filter that needed changed, but I got the fuel pump replacement kit from beemerboneyard. I changed the filter and the noises were reduced to the normal whirling. The bike seems to have a bit more power now too. The only incident that was awkward during the replacemen...
