Re: Tyre Change Charge
Last year, I got a pair of Road 6s fitted to my VFR by Billy’s Motorcycles based in Pulborough. They charged me £400 for a ride in/ride out price. Not sure what the prices look like this year. Higher, no doubt… :roll: I’d like to change the RT from Metzeler Z8s to Road 6s. That sounds a bit pricey?

Re: Almost here…
One further thing came out of my visit to the Italian BMW Dealership - They were unhappy with the SW Motech tankbag mount fitted to the filler surround, stating that BM believe that the additional loading from the weight/stress of the bag may possibly be causing some of the filler caps to stick. Fir...

Re: Almost here…
At last… sunshine, and we’re on the Ancona/Igoumenitsa ferry. It’s been a strange few days, a broken down Eurotunnel train, heavy rain from the moment we left home on Tuesday until yesterday lunchtime, a mechanical issue with the filler cap in Ravenna, and a one-horse town in the arse end of Italy w...

Re: Almost here…
Nope, mine’s different and can’t be mounted the wrong way around, but having it mounted in the new position opened the barrier far sooner… success!

Re: Almost here…
I took it off the screen,it looked bloody stupid.Now the same as you but on the other side and I made a safety line out of fishing wire,it's discreet and maybe might just prove useful. I crimped a small length of thin coated wire to an O ring terminal then cable tied it to a handy post inside the s...

Re: Touring in the EU, unusual signs
I lived there for a while and never saw it, but as they say “my dog never bites” is sometimes followed by “He’s never done that before!”

Re: Aftermarket sat-nav for UK RT1250
This is a frequent subject that regularly appears on the forum, so if you use the search button you’ll find lots of posts to read through and some may answer your questions. I bought a 2018 1200RT about 3 years ago and initially used a Garmin Nav5, but very quickly changed it for a Tomtom which I pe...
Re: Hello

Re: Almost here…
Here's the link to the packing vid she did a few years ago. I think she might have found other better ways to do this now but from this you can see the rest of the stuff she's put up of our trips. She mainly puts them here for storage and not for followers but over the years she's started to share ...

Re: Almost here…
I saw this on a Greek ferry a few years ago, it fell over when he put it on the side stand.

Re: Almost here…
100% agree 👍 Do you put your videos on You tube? If so a link pls! I remember on our first French tour in the 90’s I had the ZX10 with 2 humongous Krauser panniers, an equally sized topbox, and a triple-decker tank bag, all filled them to capacity. It must have weighted a bliddy ton and we used abou...
