Time to stir the pot again. All you procrastinators and on-the-fence folks, get it in gear! This is a great venue for riding. You will be hard pressed to find any road in the mountains above Mt. Airy that is not entertaining to ride! And I would like to get the opinion of those who are attending on...

Re: winterization, trickle charge

Not sure about the BMW charger. I have an Optimate 4 that plugs into the power socket and I leave it plugged in all winter. I have to believe the BMW trickle charger would work the same.

Re: Recommend Me a Helmet!

I have a Shoei RF1000 that is pretty quiet and I never had to wear plugs with it. I bought a new Shoei GT Air and I have to wear ear plugs with it. The wind noise is pretty bad. I see Shoei has a new RF1200 that is out now, kind of wish I had waited to buy it vs the GT Air.

Re: Buying Fuel in the US

If you pay at the pump by credit card I would verify with the credit card company that it can be used out of country and what if any cost will be applied. When I travel to Canada my bank credit card will not work at their pumps. If i use one of my other credit cards I pay a foreign exchange fee that...

My R12R is my first BMW. I really dont get the sticker thing, but then I dont get the patch thing with the HD crowd either. Whatever floats your boat :)

Re: parabellum Scout Fairing pics

First I have seen this fairing. If I ever decide to change from the BMW touring shield I will definitely keep this one in mind. Looks nice.
