BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Thanks everybody ( well those of you that bothered to turn up ) just arrived home, lovely run up via Bala lake, and 224 miles, just took it over the 40k as well

Thanks to the usual suspects for making this RT UK ‘24 meet a good couple of days, and a special thanks to Capt Sisko (Nick) for riding down this morning, and leading the ride, it was lovely to meet you, another night for myself Sullivj and MikeS to enjoy and a great ride home planned tomorrow.

200 mile down on a great route, thanks to Sim & Michael, started with to many layers, 18.5c at one stage, arrived and started to rain a bit …. Result

OK, I am not very happy with myself. :( I've had a cold all week and thought i was getting better. But i woke up this morning not feeling very good at all. If i am no better by Sunday i am not goting to be able to come on Monday meet and ride. I will keep you updated. I have Michaelc2710 number and...

I’ve had my latest RT for nearly 8 years now, and was under pressure from a friend to move up to a tractor.. Oops sorry a GS 😀…. Anyway after giving in and test riding his GS, I think he was disappointed with my response … to much noise coming up through the forks, to wide in the bars for my liking ...

Oxford !! It’s Wales we’re going to

Looking forward to it, but I hope the forecast improves

I’ll be there for the ride out, another Northern Monkey making the journey down, to the land of Postman Pat speed limits as you called them

Bump … £70

Above work carried out today, slight wear on shaft they said, to be expected I suppose, but no rust ! They found a slight leak, on the front telelever suspension, only warranted up to 30k they seemed to think, the good news (I hope) is it was replaced at 12k so this one as only done 27k, so there tr...

Called in at Williams (Manchester) today, re - recall on foot rest clips, while there asked about the software update and the driveshaft, they asked the mileage, just over 39k … right we’ll order you a shaft in, and do it all next week

Ohh dear … it’s still a little excitable on here I see

Depends what bike I’m on, but while on shift on an RT, its Heated grips - seat - body warmer - and best thing I’ve bought Socks, especially at 7c and less, but I always suffer from cold feet !
On winter bike, I have no heated seat, and I don’t use my own RT very much in the winter.
