BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Had a Triumph Thunderbird triple and if you're looking at ride comparison then go BMW. The slickness of the bimmer toasts the hardened ride of the Triumph IMO. Everyone has their likes/dislikes, if you do "test ride" then take it for a WORTHY ride, not a ten minute spin. You'll see what I'...

Wow! what a jerk move, she's lucky that gold Buick didn't run her over her too! Very fortunate.
The one thing I did notice was the yahoo standing over her snapping digital photos/video(?), if some tard did that while I was on the ground I would probably... GRRRRRR

Bike has been sitting for a bit with the battery tender to keep the juice, I fired it up today and the "Brake Failure" light was flashing. Anyone know why this would happen when it was not occurring before I parked it? Is it just a reset thing or ?? I'm puzzled. ( Oh yes, it has ABS)

AHHAAA! I found it, based on the angle and shape of the shield, I believe that it is the Wunderlich Classic Roadster Fairing! Thanks for the input from all. The givi's look very similar.

Priapismic...are you happy with that Givi screen, it looks very nice as well!

LOL no, it's the one on the black r1150r in the first pic, second bike from the left. Thanks for checking for me!

Yes the first pic you posted...nicely shaped with color match paint, any info is greatly appreciated!

The black R1150 in the POW has a very nice windscreen! Who makes that and where can I get one? :lol: I miss riding sooooo much, roads are crappy here in CT. so I'm gonna spend more moolah on her as she waits patiently in my garage. For those of you in warmer climates with no salt, sand, snow and ice...

Here's one way of looking at "Loud Pipes Save Lives" My experience in driving emergency vehicles for over 21 years shows that most people don't even hear the LOUDEST of sirens, tack on flashing lights and wig wag headlights and guess what...still nothing. Part of the problem is that most o...

Just had a similar experience riding home behind this tiny Toyota pickup ala 1980's, with the truck bed over-loaded with a large heap of junk, probably six feet high. I mean everything, tires, rolled up fencing, wood, you name it. This thing was so poorly loaded it was listing like the Titanic! On t...

Been riding all week to work at 0530 hours, but today was the first day it dipped down to 30-30 degrees( F) here in Connecticut. I was really impressed with the Firstgear HT Overpants I bought! Man, these things are TOASTY warm and comfy! I've never been a cold weather rider, but this year I'm givin...

All I can say is "YES Mistress!"

Just wanted to get an idea how many of you are using a full synthetic oil and how often you do the oil changes as a result. Thanks.

If you are looking for economy, buy a moped I'll pay for riding my R1150 and love it!

First bike??? NAKED of course!! :D A 1981 Suzuki GS450E, maroon. I was stationed at my first base on active duty in Florida and sold my Mom's car for the money. It wwas $1400.00 brand new and I put a Kerker exhuast on it...sweet and fun I will never forget that wonderful machine that brought me many...

Awesome! Thanks for information, really appreciate the help.

Just want to know what is included in the 6,000 mile service and if I can get away with doing it myself. I've rebuilt a Honda before and have decent mechanical skills, always looking for new tools (drool) though.
Thanks all....safe riding to everyone!

Bang on Blitz. There is something about riding two wheels that brings out the best skills in people Thanks! Just needed to vent, the steam pressure rose to astronical heights..and Bang to you Gord...very well put. These cagers need to appreciate the pavement and all its obstacles, rather than think...

Municpalities have to have and insurance carrier here in CT. but that's our state. I would definitely look into small claims court and consult with an attorney (YUKK!) for other options before you bite the bullet yourself. That law is total B.S.!!! Sovereign Immunity ...what a joke!

So, I had a wonderful ride throught Northwestern CT. yesterday, perfect temps. Beautiful roads, no traffic and get about 5 miles from home after a three hour tour. Sitting at a traffic light behind a lady in a Mits. Eclipse, she's about 60 years old, I see her rolling backwards as she's fiddling aro...
