mine is #549 in Victoria BC..will post a image soon.

welcome to the Rock

same here, I recently was in for a service and no problems(still under warrenty) the service dept. had praises of how well the Rock ran...so no problems there.

I vote for the Z6 as well. I have about 19,000Kilometers on mine, I think that is around 11,000 miles. I check them once a week 38 front. 42 rear. and by the way I had the dealer put nitrogen in them, which was $25.00 per tire, they said I would get around 20% better tire life, which seems to be true.

There isn't one on my Rock...Don't think there is one..

that was really well done. I have about 18,000Km on my Z6's and the photos now let me know what to keep a eye on.

Yep, that's about what I do, 40 rear 38 front. I have 17,000km on these. great tires.

I agree with ABS and the servo brakes, been riding for 40 years and absoluty love the braking system on the Rock.

riding here on the great wet coast of Vancouver Island, I find that the BMW summer rain gloves work very well year around. For boots I use the Savana(mispelled?) from BMW they work very well.

check out the saeng night cutters...very bright and adjustable on the fly. I have been using them for the last two years, year around and they are worth the price

I haven't noticed any handling issues at low speeds or high. I will look closer at that today and try to "feel" if there are any differances. I love the new sound and it really isn't loud at all. All I ahve really noticed is the engine sound for gear changes but that is getting more normal...

I know what you mean....the tempation to blip is just too great. I park in a parkade downtown and it is a whole different thing starting up the rock in there....just way too much fun.

I joined the group and took my can off this morning....boy does it sound good. All I have done is start it up and blip the throttle a few times...Iam going to get a chrome tip, then take the ling way to work this afternoon. Thanks to all of yall for inspiring me to do this....

that's a great look and i bet the sound is awsome, I will have to do mine this wekend. I have been wanting to do this since DJ did it, but have never go around to it but the time is now.

I have the Saeng nightcutters, they were pricey, but are awsome,and fully adjustable for what ever situation you come across without getting off the bike. I ride at night alot as I manage a restaurant. If it is raining real heavy I adjust them down a bit so more of the road lights up and If it is la...

I have the Z6 on my rock with 8,000KM on them which is about 5,000 miles. they are great on these wet Vancouver Island Roads. Iam not a real aggressive rider. but I tend to take the twister routes. The tires still look new, with good tread left on them. I use 38pds on the front and 42 on the rear. H...

my thoughts and prayers are with the rider down as well. It is always the last and most unfortunate thing we all want to hear.

I use the BMW tank bag. It is very roomy, Iam amazed how much stuff I can get into it, even extra gear for colder weather without expanding it. It is even fairly waterproof without the rain cover. I find during a short ride no raincover is necessary, but I always use it during a longer ride. I alway...

Yes I totaly agree with you on the colours that BMW chose for the Edition 80. It is a beautiful piece of work. I like the look of the Bobster, especially the lower bars, but I will keep my edition 80 stock.
