    Want a Motorcycle transport , what to buy Trailer , Van or MPV ? what do you use

    You can get a sportsbkke in a Caddy Maxi. Its quite tight but do-able. My 959 Panigale fits without a problem as does my son-in-law's V4R. My M1000RR has a higher screen so that needs to be removed before loading.

    BMW Club Road Bike Only Trackdays at Snet and Cadwell 2017

    Alex. It was a good couple of sessions for us in the afternoon! Not having a pie for lunch may have been a good idea after all. Unlikely to be at Snetterton as by then I should be in Ghana so this may be my last BMW Club track day for 2-3 years. Ian

    2016 removal of infill from main fairing panel

    You need to gently ease off the starlock washer , bit by bit with a screwdriver or similar & plenty of lube. Take your time, otherwise you will snap the post that the washer attaches too. DAMHIK.

    Leathers ONE or TWO piece suit ?

    Yes, if you want it to look pristine you are on a loser with white; having said that it acquires a nice patina with use :05.18-flustered: Held White suit on display!

    Fitting Aftermarket Parts - Any Dealer Recommendations

    Gives these guys a call... http://www.stroudmc.co.uk/index.php I had the same response from Cotswold Motorrad when I wanted to fit some aftermarket spots to my K1600; once I am back from my circumnavigation of Oz I am popping over to Stroud. I think some of their Techs came from NVM (the...

    BMW Owners day at Silverstone with TYCO Team - 03 August 2016

    Great day. As there were fewer bikes in Group 1 to start off with it was almost like a private track-day; in fact at one stage I was worried that I had missed the chequred flag as I appeared to be the only one on the track until Laverty blitzed past. As always BMW & FE looked after us all...

    That very wet day we had at Cadwell ( & me without any TC) finally made up my mind !

    Swapped Blade for S1000RR Sport

    I've just part-exed my 2015 SP for another HP4. I loved the build quality, looks and "stability" under breaking of my CBS-ABS equipped Blade, and the ohlins were sublime, but the motor of the S1000RR just spins up so much quicker. I've been fighting it a while as the build quality of the...

    Seat Cowl

    Same here. ?15 for a black seat cowl on a CBR1000RRA. Fitted perfectly and looked the part at a bargain price.

    Jumped ship from Ducati... first liter and I am loving it.

    I take the view that they are built to be ridden; to just hoard them away is a real waste. Not surprisingly it is really entertaining to ride :)

    Jumped ship from Ducati... first liter and I am loving it.

    Well I jumped the other way! I have to agree though that my HP4 was much easier to ride than my current steed... [/URL]Silverstone Jul 2015 by Ian Johnson, on Flickr[/IMG]

    BMW TYCO - Park Algar Exclusive

    I can only echo that this aws a really great event, and a great way to escape from the damp. Sorry it's not a BMW but something more economic if it all went wrong; however, seeing all those S1000's has made me reconsider again! [/URL]NGJ_8674 by Ian Johnson, on Flickr[/IMG]

    Carbon belly from Racefoxx

    Good work :applause: I will try a spacer on the right lower as well as that is far more elegant than my attempt!

    Carbon belly from Racefoxx

    Not sure as I purchased the matching matt badge-holders and in-fills. My suspicion would be that the weave is not exactly the same. Have a look at my Photobucket links... http://s1115.photobucket.com/user/istanbulian/media/DSC_9647_zps3x3jwijw.jpg.html?o=2

    Carbon belly from Racefoxx

    Came within a week I seem to recall; came in a huge box!

    Carbon belly from Racefoxx

    it's pure carbon fibre as far as I can tell. No signs of it being a composite sandwich.
