    Cheap Pillion Seat

    My black Gen 4 came with a painted cowl. I am looking for a cheap pillion seat for occasional use (so even ?200 for a used OEM is not worth it), wondering about others' experiences of fleabay products - fit, quality, appearance The plan for travelling is to use Kriega bags mounted on a Hepco &...

    Whatever happened to the BMW track days

    This is a picture of the track about 1230. The morning sessions were OK, albeit with some rain spots on the visor before the heavens opened. Hall Bends and esp. Barn were challenging after that, I was told a dry line opened up round Barn in the last session, but most people had had enough by...

    Whatever happened to the BMW track days

    Yup, I was there on Monday! He has said in previous Mail shots that if you have ever accidentally pressed unsubscribe he has no way of recovering you, so you could always try emailing them from a new email address

    Coffee Machine

    I think I remember hearing that Nespresso is the most expensive way to consume coffee per kg, lol. I buy beans and grind them.

    Buffing up scuffed carbon

    I was taking my bike out (2020 R) the garage today and I noticed that the Akra's carbon heat protector and carbon end piece have some grazing, i.e. damage at both ends. I think I brushed the exhaust up against the garage wall getting it out a while back, so that explains the rear scuff. This is...

    New road marking for bikers

    Has anyone seen these new PRIME signs they've been trialing in parts of western Scotland? https://www.visordown.com/news/general/primed-ride-new-motorcycle-road-markings-explained I think the idea of the article is that they are phycological tricks that encourage better road position - they...

    K46 observations whilst on tour in France and Spain last week

    Bored. Lots better, but still can't walk more than a mile without getting into difficulty - I spend 30-60 mins a day doing physio. However doesn't stop me riding a bike, have done a couple of rides, so we should go for one soon. I am even supposed to do the BMW club event at Cadwell in 2/3...

    K46 observations whilst on tour in France and Spain last week

    re filtering - I appreciate you've just been there and I am a keyboard jockey, but every search result I found on this suggests that it is still permissible on motorways and roads with at least two lanes, and just like UK, should only be done with slow/stationery traffic between the outmost two...

    Everyday bike??

    I just have a fly screen on my (old shape) R, never been bothered by the wind (also 6"2) so haven't considered a bigger screen (the OEM tall screen looked awful anyway)... I'm not sure if that fly screen does anything, but it looks more comprehensive than anything on the new one :-)

    Everyday bike??

    Thought about the R? I find the upright position is easier to have a gentler ride on, but it's perfectly capable if you change your mind. Always found the RR a nervous commuter, esp when filtering - doesn't like going slow. Wider bars make it easier.

    1250 rs

    Whilst I miss my K1300s it's really not in the same league for carrying capacity, the ZZR will be the same. The 1000SX is good fun, if you can stand the gearing, which annoyed me after a bit. Surely the XR is a candidate if you like the RR so much oldwobbler? Early ones had bad bar vibration but...
