So, quite a bleak thread to start but I'm guessing I'm not on my own here.... I last week lost my ride partner and friend to a biking accident as he commuted to work. He was the fella who taught me how to get my knee down and I reckon probably the kindest bloke I've ever met. So it took a few...

So I like a 'tinted' visor and even a black visor for err those err 'hot track days' but do people use the blue/gold/iridium/pink/mirror etc visors? I used to race mountain bikes and used yellow lenses for low light conditions but do people have other colours and visor types that they use and...

So my limiter comes off today and i've just ridden home the dealer loan S1k which is like a different bike: 1. It's throatier 2. Far more responsive at lower revs and far quicker before 8K 3. Even feels like it tips in better than mine.... noticeable handling improvement..... Were other...

So I've had my new '15 RR for a month now and it goes in for its first service this week and the limiter off - Mmm. Just wondered about what sort of lean angles people are getting out there on regular rides out / roundabouts / track? I'm getting 40's but have not broken 50 yet!

So, apart from these looking pretty awesome, what are the benefits in terms of feel and performance? Also, anybody got any links to getting some for a reasonable price as I'm not sure my local dealership are the cheapest!

So. Twas my birthday at the weekend and my other half bought me a FE BMW track day - good girl. I can pick any date I like providing there is room. There is only one Silverstone day and the rest at Donnington - I'm thinking of doing Donnington as I've always fancied a go at it and never been...

So it's warming up, how about a ride out / forum meet up in the East Mids? Northampton/Rutland/Leicestershire/Derbyshire/Notts? I notice a fair few posters on here from these areas and the 'travel to' regions..... I'm sure we can find some dry weather and meet up at nice country pub this...

Hi all, I had an MOT and a new rear tyre fitted at BMW last week. (No new braking components required or fitted) I now have noticed that my rear brake is not as sensitive as it perhaps was. When I apply the brake now it slows the bike but not as dramatically as before. In fact, even when...

Has anybody seen this on kickstarter? I quite like the idea and some fella I know posted me the link that launched yesterday as he thought I might like to do a bit of writing - has anybody heard of this type of thing before? I reckon it could be the way forward to read and get new stuff...

So, I'm in need of a pair of paddock stands - don't want to mess about buying odd bits and bobbins - can anybody direct me to a pair that I can buy that are solid, will fit and generally be 'Ronseal' - 2011S1K Thanks, Nick,

Well, despite continual praying for dry days I feel it time to put my 2011 SK1 in the garage for the winter. What should I do? I've heard that I should stand the bike tyres on bit's of carpet..... both that I need and don't need a 'battery optimiser' to trickle charge...... If you garage your...

Hi Team, I now have a thousand road miles under my belt on my 11 plate s1000rr. I also still have 2 cm chicken strips. I've started on the bike at my own pace with no previous motorcycle road craft having only ridden crossers as a kid, so not out to impress just learning and nurturing...

Buying a used bike..... I'm test riding an 11 plate S1K from a BMW dealer this week, any tips on what I should watch out for? (Any niggles pertinent to the bike)

DOG FOR SALE A man sees a sign outside a house - ‘Talking Dog For Sale.' He rings the bell, the owner appears and tells him the dog can be viewed in the back garden. The man sees a very nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there. "Do you really talk?" he asks the dog. "Yes," the Labrador...

Mornin team. I've joined the forum as I am about to become a s1000rr owner, the deposit is down, insurance set up to go, just waiting for a dry day and a test ride. Many of you I feel will label me as a daft, suicidal idiot when you read what I am about to write below but if we can skip over...
