It’s a beautiful warm evening here in Palairos, so what am I doing?
After several days of rain, bugs and brake dust on the way down here it has to be done! Sad or what.

Re: Main Stand
I’d sprayed Hammerite on the stand quite regularly over the years, but it doesn’t last as well as the powdercoating. Cost-wise the powder coat was roughly the equivalent of 2 cans of Hammerite.

Re: Neck tube ?
I’ve got lots of ‘neckies’ as I have the same problem Martin, they all go saggy after a while…

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
Welcome aboard mate, tell us about your bike, and what prompted the purchase of the RT… enjoy the forum and don’t be shy about asking advice.
