BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Thanks for all the comments, you are all correct.

I was 4 miles from where we were staying so deci...

OK which one of you has gone to get their teeth done....?

Going on Friday for a long weekend in Dolgellau. Been before and have a nice unusual place to stay overlooking the town. People drive north to the Lakes and the Highlands or south to the Cotswolds or the west country and miss out on this gem of a country. Weather isn't looking great but we'll manage...

Are you mentally fit enough to spot hazards and take action? Do you drive defensively? If the answer is yes to these questions get...

I found the pair of motorcycle driving lights just like the BMW ones PLUS handlebar switch and all wiring only £7.99! They are 2 inches long... Gotta lurve the Chinese....

Nice to hear it. I was in serious danger of having two....

Her Ladyship ordered a fan/water misting device when it was hot recently from Temu and I can't get it to work. Tried other USB leads etc still nowt. This can happen when you order Chinese stuff from anywhere though to be fair.

These are a damn good screen, if I hadn't bought a new one I'd be all over this
