Check this thread and send a email to Keith Haynes for a wheelcap.
The best deal going to keep water out of the hub.

I got my kid a used Yamaha BW-80 when he was 6 years old. 2 fat tires, 3 gears but no clutch. When he was 9, we traded up to a Honda XR with a clutch. He is 12 now, and a real log jumper.

Nothing teaches responsibility, risk, reward, and rip roaring fun better IMHO.

When I bought my R in 2003, I asked the dealer about the usual RPM limits during break in. He told me to ride it HARD from the start. "Don't beat it, but be sure to use the entire powerband often." It turned out to be good advice. I twist the throttle hard, and venture into the party zone ...

On July 2nd 2005, I hit the pavement face and shoulder first with a Nolan NE100 flip face. Although I got busted up pretty good, my smile and striking good looks are still intact. (Of course everyone is looking good on the net) My insurance company sent me a check for a new helmet, and there is noth...

I was really pleased till I read that last line


Happy Holidays to All!

that's what I do GeoffJ. My Garmin StreetPilot goes on my bike, and in my auto. Cyclegadgets has all the stuff for mounting. Garmin is about to release a new 2710 model with Mp3, XM Radio and XM Nav Traffic and Weather. too pricey for me though, but it's as close to the holy grail bike gadget I have...

Me Too!

Sans toe grout!

I get that mag from BMW Finance. Too many cars in it, usually one bike article. The mag seem backwards, y'know what I mean?

308, if you have any trouble, PM me an email address. A member here (sweatmark!) sent me an email loaded with instructions and detailed pics a few years ago ago when I bought mine.

I can forward that email to you if you need it.

I happened to open that bikini pic in work. There was someone within eyeshot and I got a awful sinking feeling I was about to get reprimanded or even canned. The Boxer was awesome though, as it caught someone's attention behind me, as I was about to show off the joy of motorcycles, scrolling down..d...

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

That is too much!!!
That is definitely a "Fill in the Caption" pic!!!

here goes:

"With this board every time I log on I have to check out about five different sections to check everything out..(I'm sure most just look at the main board and miss some good stuff)...and then we would never post in the wrong section.. " Here is a tip for easier access to the board: 1. Book...

I got blue ambers from Auto Barn.com. When they are off, they are blue, on, amber.

Not sure a currency converter portrays the actual costs of the 2 bikes in Canada. BMW Canada lists the MSRP on the K1200GT as $24,500 Canadian, perhaps that price has increased? The Yamaha Canada website has 2 FJR1300 models: The A model for $18,899.00 CDN. The AE model for $20,999.00 CDN. BMW's hav...

bm, ROAD TRIP!!!!

Don't worry, they have the internet in Asia. Can't wait to see your first Great Ride pics. Only the outside of the geisha houses please

Good luck to you, and ping us often, we understand the sake is pretty good.

Glad you are OK. I took one of those flying catapaults in July and I am still healing. But my dealer took care of everything while I was in the hospital. Pickup, insurance, repairs. The manager even sent an email to board members here for me when I was laid up to get the word out that I would miss t...

Sorry, I am not Doug, but here is my take: This is the main section for the R1150R website. Only R1150R (or at least i.e.-R1150R- motorycle-based) topics should go in here. to-mat-o vs. to-mot-o? I'll take some "Off-topic" Eye Candy ASAP. I need new PC wallpaper. The guy standing in front ...

You are not dreaming. I LOVE sunny, 50 degree days.

Great stuff Pat. Man I gotta get to Cali. 6 more years, 6 more years (got a kid in middle school)...


Depends on the size of the photos I guess and the time it takes to download them. I know anyone with a slow connection would probably want links.

My R1150R also cranks a lot more to start in colder temps. When it gets real cold, I will need a few hours of a battery tender else I can kill the battery.

I recommend getting a battery tender and leaving it plugged into your accessory port during your cold season.

Excellent DJ, thanks.


Another cold winter starting...DJ lights the torch...going to get me through another bitter winter....
