Hi all, long time no type. Just wondering if anyone knows of any bike shops that will be open tomorrow that are close to Loch Lomond? Just arrived in the camper with my bike and realised I?ve left my bloody jacket at home! Always forget something..

Just a quick one. I?ve recently wondered about making an emergency starter switch for bikes that suffer from switchgear faults (see: All BMWs) It would be nothing glamorous, a very simple button that plugs in to the switch gear loom and has 1 button to start the bike. The basic idea is that...

I've just seen an advert for this app, BMW are endorsing it so it must be pretty big. Anyone on here use it? You can share routes and also display active friends on the map which would make meeting up easier. I haven't worked out how to add friends but anyone is welcome to add me.

Thought it was worth asking on here... I'm installing an android tablet in my car, a 'carputer' if you like... Anyway it's all gone great, I installed a custom kernel which was a bit of a pain (I'm an iOS guy if I'm honest) I want to be able to control the roof with the tablet so I bought a...

Such a lovely view... customers bike broke down on road test!

Dunno if you guys use amazon, I don't usually but I recently found out the prices on amazon tend to fluctuate. This is a website you can use to track the prices and see when the best time is to buy https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/ I've been using it to keep an eye on the prices of whisky...

Dunno about you guys but I love films, I'm always looking forward to something at the cinema. Saw Logan last week top film. Anyway.. who else is looking forward to Chips, looks pretty funny :) 'You think you can ride with that?' [emoji23] https://youtu.be/tnO1arQHMBY

So I pre ordered 3 of these on kickstarter last year and they should be with me any day now. Obviously it's designed for pushbikes but there's no reason it won't work on a motorcycle https://www.facebook.com/ridebeeline/videos/1624504221192065/ I think it will work brilliantly on the bike on...

Thought I'd start a thread to document any upgrades I make to my S1000RR... I replaced my Black '15 RR with a Black/Red '16 in September... I didn't need a new bike, but when I saw one in my favourite colour scheme I couldn't say no! It also has HP forged wheels and an Akrapovic exhaust which...

Hi Guys, Long time since I've posted anything on here, been on holiday, been knackered and been busy! (If anyone needs any advice feel free to message me whenever!) So I went to Spain at the beginning of the month, just down to Malaga for a few days. While I was there we (me and my dad) had a...

I've been wondering about the slick plug. I haven't plugged mine in yet, I'm not sure id benefit from it to be honest, I only run road tyres.. But from what i've noticed a fair few of you have it plugged in? The manual states 'Activate the SLICK riding mode only on racetracks and only when...

I'm planning a trip to Scotland hopefully this year but maybe next depending on when I go to Germany. I want to visit the Lagavulin Distillery on the Isle of Islay and I've planned a 4 or 5 night route on roads that look very interesting. Check it out here. Seeing as there are so many Scottish...

BMW have revealed 4 limited edition models including an RT GS GSA and an RS. Only 100 of each made. They all look pretty nice... I'm not too fussed over any of them TBH... It would be interesting to see an 'Iconic' S1000RR though... On another note I'm in love with the Smoked Red...

Hi Guys, Got a new product in the shop today. Hybrid X. (their website isn't fantastic but there are some video clips to watch) Hybrid X is a 'nano coating' applied to all areas of your motorcycle (apart from rubber) It is hydrophobic (water repelling) and is '9h' on the mohs scale of hardness...

Found this video quite interesting. I didn't realise how much stronger carbon fibre is than steel. http://youtu.be/hjErH4_1fks

Hey guys, I was out on a long (cold) road test today and I wondered how many of us listen to music while on the bike? So i thought id ask. I listen to my iphone with a PackTalk bluetooth intercom. I mainly listen to rock music but recently i've been listening to the soundtrack from Guardians...

Hi guys, Before I bought my RR I remember looking on BM's website and looking at the Black model, It had Black forks. Just wondering if anyone has one or has seen one? When I picked my bike up it had gold forks... And i've never actually seen one with the black forks? If you go on BMWs site...
