If anyone ever needed proof of a reason to wear a helmet, thats it. looks like it held up pretty well. That is one concern I have for the schuberth J1 is with that huge face visor how well will it hold up to an accident? http://www.reddogmotorcycles.co.uk/uploads/images/RedDog4717shop.jpg http://www...

plus the vents work so good that when I flipped open the forehead vent I got an ice cream headache.

See now thats what I'm looking for, for a texas summer.
How much did the system 5 cost though, and did it come with the bluetooth option?

I have a HJC AC-11 helmet now and it's pretty good as far as ventilation and visability go. but let me tell you this thing is LOUD :x at highways speeds. So I was thinking of getting a new lid I've been doing alot of looking arond. from the BMW system 5 helmet with the nifty bluetooth feature (thoug...

If you guys might have a link to where the valve adjustment and throttle body synchronizing how to'...

I have a 03 beakster with around 11k on it so far. I’ve noticed a vibration that’s constant. It’s a high speed vibration though not very strong, makes the left mirror really vibrate makes it hard to use and after about 20 min's of riding my right hand goes numb (have to shake it...

I was wondering one thing. I have about a 30 min ride into work on the highway. and I'll tell you after about 15 or 20 mins my right hand is going numb holding the throttle.

Is there a way of loosing the tension of the throttle spring or something else I can use for those highway drives.

I think I've decided to keep the R, went for a ride sunday on a twisty road though the woods right in front of my house. Where'd you find a "twisty road with woods" in Mesquite, Texas? :lol: Lawson road between i20 and i80. nice little road plenty of twists and hills :D . couple of those ...

I think I've decided to keep the R, went for a ride sunday on a twisty road though the woods right in front of my house. the R handled great though the turns. Honestly between the road and the gorgous morning and the honeysuckles in the air it was just about a perfect ride. Still alittle uncomphy at...

Well as far as my back goes, I'm back to being a upright human again. I've healed up pretty well so I can do pretty much anything I want to again.

I'm looking for alittle professional advice. I bought my R which was my first bike, last year just before I hurt my back and had to park it in the garage for a year. :oops: well here we are a year latter 2 surgeries and theropy, the wife thoughs down the ultamatium of ride it or sell it so, I went t...

Thanks guys, I hadn't thought of the radiators.

In april of 05 I ruptured 3 disks in my back and my bike an 03 r1150r got put on the center stand. well I'm back now 2 surgeries and a rather lengthy physical therapy later and I want to get back on my bike. I'm going back to the rider saftey classes to get back in the swing. though I am concerned a...

Yea those seats do look good on that bike. do you guys know if they make those in the short version. unfortenatly I'm one of those guys with short legs. pain in the butt reaching the group when i stop at lights.

I have the blue R1150R and I've seen some pics on the net of my bike with the tan seats and I thought they looked pretty good but havn't been able to find any.

I've been looking around the net the last couple of days and cant seem to find any tan seats for my '03 R1150R. I was wondering if anyone knew were you could find a set (front and rear) and how much they went for. On a side note I was thinking of swapping out my headlight assembly for the K1200R lig...

Neat little trick they use in taking bikes with wheel locks is useing a shopping chart. take the basket off of the cart then load the while with the lock on it on the cart and roll it off.
