Re: Questions for our states members

Number 3
There are some people that are terrified of changing lanes, so once they get in a lane, they won't change lanes except to take the off-ramp. The problem is, for some reason they pick the fast lane and act like they own it. :twisted:

Wonkey cornering

My 17 RT with 23K miles is just not cornering well as it used to. I do the majority of my riding on country roads. Lately I have been noticing a lack of stability on the twisties at high speed, particularly if the turn is a little bumpy. I am not noticing any leakage or damage around the shocks or s...

Re: Bar Risers

Re: New owner!

Welcome from Friendswood, Texas 1. It's expensive, but a GS911 will solve that problem and many others. 2. The bike originally came with only 1 key. The eBay key almost certainly won't work. The best solution is getting one of the plastic emergency keys from BMW. Don't lose your key. It could cost $...

Re: BMW Motorrad dealer Ethics

I am sorry that you were hoodwinked, but you probably discussed this with a salesman, not the owner. Since the salesman is usually paid by commission and has a quota to obtain.

Re: Hello from New Hampshire, USA

Welcome from Friendswood, Texas. I was born in Laconia and lived in Meredith for the first 5 years of my life. :-D
I have been back a couple of times. Some great riding, but I can't handle the winters.
