BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Thanks for this, we agree on so many things, even down to the Boots liquid containers! :lol: But the big thing for us this year is the compression packing cubes, all of a sudden I have space in my pannier. My wife’s? Not so much, she’s just packed more stuff! :( I'm sure she's mentioned the packing...

Hello and welcome. Loads of good info, help and free advice here.

Here's the link to the packing vid she did a few years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pQfcH1TYn0&list=UURy_HGZQnyEA63BaGsLemwA&index=18&ab_channel=TheWanderingWeave 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 p...

We've done a lot of touring since 2015 , most of it overseas but during covid we just toured in the UK. The Mrs likes to film these trips and I'm always asked why I'm wearing the same three T shirts and two pairs of trousers.

It worked!

I can't post pictures - is there a post count thing going on?

Hello and welcome - have you brought two fishing rods and a cooked chicken.....?

Flippin' 'eck! My local old bike shop charged me £20 for my loose GTR wheel and I took the old one away. That summer air must be dear dahn sarf....

Bring it on. I doubt I'll be able to afford a new one and I'll need to stick around for another ten years or so to get a used one but why not? I'm surviving out of spite these days anyway.....

Just ordered the crap aire sticker, it was loads easier than the last time I did it in 2016. I think googly translate helped in a big way.

I have a pair of them in the garage. Nice cheap work gloves shame they have not protection I thought leather was the protection? :mrgreen: My old pair of Fieldsheer gloves I bought in 1990 finally gave up last year and there was nothing fancy in them except for ThinsulateTM. You don't always have t...
