I though the keyless came frm God

What I really do is life a leg straight up over the seat; because I have a big backpack sitting on the rear seat and it's impossible to swing a leg over the back seat.

So by osmosis I never scuff the pannier.

I scuff the tank only.

Amen brother

I park my right below my bedroom window and just jump on it like I saw one cowboy do it with a horse in a movie. I don't recommend trying this with a stock seat nor beads for obvious reasons.

Between this keyless ignition, the keyless gas cap, and the TPM that does not give the 'real-time' psi measurements, I don't know which one to award the number one most ridiculous technological gadgetry ever made. Wait, one worse just occurred to me: an electronic toothbrush; one that you just open ...

dirt is an unwelcome guest on my bike

How about leaving the windshield up after you turn the ignition off? is that possible?

For me, I ll opt for a farkle that may be ugly but functional, over one that is aesthetic-cute but useless. I don't really care what the bike 'LOOKS' like to anyone including me. If the gadget works, I am likely to use it. My bike is usually filthy and running well. Presently, the front of it looks ...

For those who asked: unfortunately, these are the only pics I have. I hope you can see the poweder-coat gig as clear as possible


and yes, I had my 2014 painted white. Probably do it to my 2016 also, just like I did my other RT I owned. I like white!

One time it shifts smoothly in low RPM, another time it doesn't One time it shifts smoothly in high RPM, another time it doesn't I have tried every technique under the Sun to achieve consistent clutchless shifting and no technique performs consistently in 1-2-3 gears. No, I am not a rookie, in fact,...

Talk it over with Seth as to what you want and expect, he ll be straight up with you as to what he can do for you. I needed a low seat for a concourse and that was about the most comfortable low seat I ever had. He did the same for me with an FJR and a K16. On the RT, cause it lowered this year, I a...

Items I ordered and finished photo attached.

I am interested in the mirror installed on the right side on top of the mirror case. Where did you get that one ?

Hello fellow BMW riders. Any thoughts on the best seat for a vertically challenged RT (WC) rider? Using the factory low seat, which only allows me to place on foot completely flatfooted and it is not very comfortable. I know that Russell Day Long seats are the gold standard but they are too tall fo...

Your not wrong.  And what has always concerned me that behind that front engine plate is a clutch.  Whatever cooling it used to get before the thing was fitted, it won't get it any more.  I have only the Pyramid extender fender fitted and the engine stays clean(ish). [siz...

because K16 aggressive riders tend to bad-rap the PR4, claiming they drift on hard turns, I have stayed away from them. Recently, while on the road, I got stuck with a pair of PR4 from Sandy UT Beemer cause that's all they had. And I confess: they are now my preferred tires. Smooth, quite, great gri...
