    Scott leathers

    Mr Cummins did make the place famous for us Southerners. However, any opportunity to take a jab at him has to be taken :)

    Did you also happen to test your eyesight while at the castle?

    Gen4 2022. Oil leak.

    Well I didn't need to create an argument. BMW have agreed to cover the parts cost. Dealer messaged today saying they hope to have all parts by end of the week and I can have bike back at the weekend. Not sure the weather will find that agreeable though. Can't make up its bloody mind

    Gen4 2022. Oil leak.

    Had my call back from BMW today. And it is the oil pump that has gone. They're asking HQ if there's any goodwill available to change the part.

    Motorcycles in bus lanes

    Having spent most of my riding life in West London, the opening up of bus lines to motorcycles was most welcome. Though it was only TFL run lanes and some of the local council operated lanes were not opened up to bikes, which does make it annoying. Recently moved up to Northamptonshire. Still...

    Gen4 2022. Oil leak.

    I think mine has gone. Got a small leak coming from around the same area. Sadly my bike's warranty just expired :( Oh and local BMW dealer is fully booked until 9 April. So no riding it for me

    Having not long moved outside the M25, I enjoyed getting a refund on my insurance

    Annual Insurance Rant

    You make it sound like riding a bike is akin to playing Russian roulette

    Annual Insurance Rant

    Interesting. I wasn't given that option and lately have been doing much less than 2,000 per annum. Barely been out on the BM this year due to various reasons.

    Annual Insurance Rant

    I ended up going with Hastings (through the Bike Insurer) for my S!K. Paid about the same as last year with BeMoto. I was told by the BeMoto agent that they'd lost AXA as an underwriter.

    New Pressure Washer

    I used to have a small JCB jet washer. Worked really well and lived a long life (over 10 years)

    Buying a 1-piece suit

    That is a very good deal for custom leathers. I got a custom Gimoto 1-piece through BMW and they weren't much cheaper (full roo, no air)

    Full akra system

    I think you'll be fine as long as it still has the sensors in the exhaust

    Rear sets

    Gen 3 M reasrsets did go lower than standard. Had them on my one. Even with my short legs I felt like the standard setting was too high.

    Lithium battery under volt protection

    Sounds like you have a bit of a duff battery. How are you using the trickle charger? Is it always on over winter? Better to only use it periodically to give the battery a chance to cycle. I have alarm and tracker on my 2020 M-Sport. Usually switch the charger on Friday morning and turn it...

    Exhaust system for my 22 S1000RR

    Saw a Gen4 with a full system down at Loomies last year and it was obnoxiously loud - even through my earplugs! Got a Racefit can on mine (same as LCR put on his demo bike) and I'm quite happy with the volume. Louder than stock, but not going to be upsetting anyone and sounded really good...
