As LeonardoNYC has created a Flickr site for R1200R bike photos

Here's one for R1150Rs

URL is http://www.flickr.com/groups/r1150r/

I always enjoy looking at the photos posted on this group and unless I save them locally they are usually tough for me to find again. So I thought it would be helpful to have a place to post your R1200R photos and set up a flickr group for anyone that would like to do so. I've created an R1150R sit...

This summer has not been too kind to us in the UK. It's rained most days since mid June so between the showers today I went for a ride across my local moors. I needed to check the bike out before going to Scotland next week for our annual bike trip with some of the guys I work with. Here are some pi...

Blue is the best, with black a very close second.

As Shawn Colvin says " I never saw blue like that before..."

I get scuffing of my petrol tank paintwork where my leathers(knees) touch the side of the petrol tank, probably due to the dirty air exiting from the oil coolers. I regularly polish the marks out but I guess eventually I will be through to the paintwork. I'm thinking of fitting some of these http://...
