Welcome from Hampshire too!

Another happy BeMoto customer! ?35 saved on a like for like basis. May not sound like much, but I rather spend that on fuel than on insurance premium :triumphant: Nick @ BM is a top lad! Thanks for agreeing the deal!

Cheers guys. Yes, it was eventful tour. The bloody trucker was on his mobile, he waved 'sorry' when he finally spotted me, still having the phone is his hand! Anyway, roll on the new season and new tour!

As promised to Oli, a little write up of my group trip to Europe last year. I still had Z1000SX at the time, but one of my mates was on his (then) S1000RR, which now belongs to me. We aim to do 7-10 days trip every year and this time we've taken ferry from Portsmouth to Santander, Spain, and...

OK Oli. Will do. Billo01 We don't really have plan. Just thinking of going into the area for couple days and find some good routes. So all tips welcome. Thanks.

From the trip? Sure thing! I have got a few pics and videos from our previous European trips. Happy to share.

That's great mate! I appreciate it. Will let you know towards the end of March if that is OK? As we are going on the 24 March to Snowdonia.

It makes a lot of sense Oli. I was out on a bike today and realised that the clearance will be an issue and I am not willing to mess about with steering locks, etc. Therefore the helibars may be the only sensible option. Having said that, I am going with my mates on a short trip soon (around...

Thanks mate. Dealer also confirmed that I do not have ABS PRO. I have asked if it can be retrofitted and waiting response.

Right, my bike is MY15 purchased in May 2015 and it does not say ABS PRO on dash. Does it mean that I do not have 'cornering' ABS? I better check with the dealer, as I was under the impression that it is there as standard!

It doesn't say ABS PRO on dash. But my mate, whom I have effectively purchased the bike from, says that it has all the options (incl. ABS PRO) except forged wheels and titanium exhaust. The spec below has been sent to me by the dealership. Wasn't ABS PRO part of the Performance package?

Also, what to you think about these: https://www.bikermart.co.uk/BMW-S1000RR-2015-on-ABM-Multiclip-Adjustable-Clip-On-Comfort-Kit Whilst they seems to be a bit less refind than Gillies, they've also have a descent level of adjustment.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but how can I tell if my bike is fitted with ABS Pro? I believe it is, but I am not 100% sure.

Thanks for pointing this out Oli. I will contact Gilles if I decide to go ahead with these to check if there are any clearance issues.

Do you have to graduate from Hogwarts to understand this wizardry?

Thanks for all the answers guys. I appreciate that the throttle needs to be smoothly rolled on rather than treated as on/off switch, so no problem there. With all your advice on board, bring on the sun so I can go on and test it with extra nappy in my pants ;)

I understand all the theory behind it, but I am asking more in practical terms. When I am coming out of the corner, can I give it full beans and TC will keep me upright or do I still need to be careful with the throttle?

Sorry for a bit of a daft question, but my RR is the first bike I've had with TC, hence I don't trust it 100%. So, how does it actually work? I understand that depends on the mode it less intrusive between rain, sport and race. However, does it mean that in sport mode I can (for lack of a better...

Is anybody using them? https://www.gillestooling.com/products/handlebars/variobar-variable-clipons/1464/handlebar-variobar2 Thinking about upgrading to these or something similar for touring. These are specifically appealing to me as they are adjustable, so it would be ideal to change between...

An update. Although it took over two weeks to repair, I wasn't too bothered as I was away on holiday. Bike got repaired and returned to me on Monday. All sorted. Thanks for all your help and advise.
