Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects handlebars to the saddle.

I'll have to go with your correction on this one. My R12R is my first BMW and though I have had it 5 years, I'm still pretty uneducated when it comes to things BMW. I'm just happy I caught that it was a BMW

Joe, where was this last pic taken? Looks almost like Mexico, except for the road.

Thank you!
It was a little hike to get this shot, the scene was too good to pass up in central Baja though.
Here's another favorite Landscape/Roadster photo of mine.

Very Ansel Adams! Is that taken in Yosemite?
Re: The R1200R Photo Discussion Thread!
Awesome pic, thanks for sharing. Is the bag on the back of your bike the BMW bag? I'm going to be doing a trip in two months and was thinking of buying the BMW bag that looks like that. Its supposedly waterproof. Thanks.Lost Rider wrote:Thank you!

I use a waterproof duffel bag (not sure of the brand, as we are not in the same location right now) that I picked up at a sports outlet for maybe $30. It holds a TON (way too much!!).

Thank you, glad you guys and gals like. The 12R is pretty photogenic!
That bigger bag is a Ortieb D-Fender bag. Great MC bag due to its oval shape. Strapped down with ROK straps.

The small bag on the tail in the photo above is my tent in a Sea to Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack. Awesome bags, and truly 100% waterproof. One for the tent, one for the sleeping bag.

I have the grey BMW 51L sports bag also. It's a great piece of soft luggage, very convenient, waterproof, and looks good too IMO. This is the old version, the new ones are a little shinier, updated and called the Sports 2 bag. It fits nicely on the rear rack too, allowing for 2up riding.

That's a Helen 2 Wheels bag on the tail, back before I shrunk down my camping gear with smaller Big Agnes gear.
Here's the Ortlieb and BMW 51L bags.

Thanks for the info and links. The Ortieb bag looks good. I'll also take a look at the BMW Sports 2 bag.Lost Rider wrote:fleuger99 wrote:
