When you remove the liner the airflow is great. Pop the liner in and it's a winter riding jacket.

Baby got Back.

Well, I took my first ride tonight since my accident last July 2nd. I spent a total of 3 weeks in the hospital last summer, and I am still sore. Bike was in storage all winter. I am unsure, but I think I need nice weather to reprogram my brain. Picked up my R from 12k service, and I must admit I was...

is it the original battery? Do you have an ABS model? A 4 year old battery will get flaky, especially on the ABS models. My battery is toast after 3 years I think. spoke to a dealer mechanic and was advised that there are goofy things that can happen with a unstable battery. especially on ABS models...

I got a "first 5 payments made by BMW" deal on my R1150R, so I financed the cases. They are WORTH it.

Waterproof and secure. I can park my bike anywhere and secure all my electronics.

if there were any problems with the bikes, surely we would know. 140 US Police depts would not be able to keep that secret.
