The brake recall a few years back (2021) was specific to US models which puzzled me as I had a new Irish registered S1000 m package back then but got no such recall and there was no brake recall in Europe so I still have not got to the bottom of what that was all about and why was it US specific?

A bit of an update. I have given up on USB ports on bikes altogether. I now use a power pack in my pocket and my phone is connected to that in the same pocket. My main concern with USB cables is that all the fluttering in the wind would mess up my paint and I have five bikes anyway so could not...

Yes you have to be very methodical and do the back up first. I wrote all the steps down on a sheet of paper first before I even began and crossed each step off as I done them. Worked perfect for me then.

Well the GS911 is more expensive alright but the headline price of the Bimmer unit fails to make clear that you also have to buy an online license to make it work. I have both bimmer utility and GS911 and now the bimmer utility is a bit redundant. Could sell you the bimmer unit and its online...

Phoned the dealer just now and the reason for no new orders now is they are "between models" but they don't have any details on the new bike or any time frame for its launch but dismissed rumours of the bike being completely dropped as rubbish.

My Dealer (Joe Duffy's in Dublin) told me last month that they are taking no more new orders for the S1000RR - no reason given? I presumed that it was because a new model was on the way but reading the above has me alarmed a little? It would be a shame if BMW drops this amazing range of...

I bought a few bits and pieces from them. Generally very pleased with the products and delivery times - they are cheap for a reason though but they have some interesting stuff.

That 2025 bike doing the rounds on the internet is only a rendering so not real. I have heard nothing about any substantial revision of the RR and I am scanning the web all the time.

That was a trailer purchased from a German vendor and was shipped direct to me from the French manufacturer to Ireland. The total cost was €3,940 but €530 of that was transport costs. This trailer is the heavy duty version capable of hauling the heaviest harley but must be towed by a 4WD type...

My normal three year warranty ran out in january 2024. The did offer me an extended warranty but you have to purchase that before the standard warranty expires. I chose not to and take my chances. The 2021 m package has 10,000km up on it now and has never missed a beat. Bad idea to buy a newly...

Well I am still here three and half years later - 10,000km up on my S1000 now and it never missed a beat. From the above pic I posted in March 2021 my T120 is gone - traded in for a new panigale V2 bayliss in 2022. The 821 Monster is also gone traded in for a new Monster 937 plus in mid 2021...

My dealer is almost 300km away from me so I stopped riding it 600km round trips and bought myself this motorbike trailer. Too old for that now at 65. It's a Cochet and is made in France. The really neat thing about this trailer is that the bed lowers to ground level when getting the bike on/off...

I recall I done the daytime running lights on my 2021 K67 using my Bimmer utility device - can anybody confirm if this is also possible to do now using the GS-911 after the latest upgrades? I have not done the April 2024 upgrade to my GS-911 yet so can't check until I do.

I priced a new S1000 M package at the start of the year (2024). I live in south west Ireland. I asked them to spec the new bike with everything my 2021 model has (carbon wheels etc) and they were asking for €28,000. These days things like carbon wheels are options on the m package and even the...

Are these stickers lacquered over or not from factory?

Does that bag rest on the paintwork / stickers then if its so forward of the fuel filler cap? The tank bag for my Monster rests entirely on the full circle tank filler mount so does not come in contact with the paint. Id imagine a tank bag in contact with the paint / stickers would leave a nice...

I recently replaced the stock exhaust on my 2021 Ducati Monster for a full system termi but am stuck with the old one now. It was always why I avoided mods - what to do with the old parts. What is the market for a nearly new stock exhaust for a 2021 Monster - some guy who crashed his? But what...

What make is that bike stand? Is it stable - seems very narrow?

One the main reasons I avoid putting carbon on my bikes - one less thing to worry about scratching.
