BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Tried to book the Italian restaurant for Saturday night ( left it till a month before to be sure of final numbers), turns out that's when they have their two week summer holiday.
So, plan b to be decided.

Just tried to increase my agreed mileage with Onecall (8000 to 10000) for the remainder of the policy in June. Online portal worked ok but they refused to make the change. Cancelled the auto-renewal and will shop around again.

?Paving slab on the drive. When you're not using it lean it against the wall.

Couple of days round North Wales, weather's been kind and the Porthmadog Premier Inn is pretty good.

Had my first puncture last year in Scotland. Used the sticky string repair kit. Very easy using the supplied tools, didn't have to use the Co2 cannisters as somebody had a portable compressor.

Thanks, I'll go back and read it properly.

I know this has been covered countless times before but as things change thought worth asking. Previously used the travel health insurance that came with my Nationwide account but looking through the small print it seems that they've gone down the 'only cover up 125cc ' route. Which companies are pe...

Hadn't thought about that.

Same mileage but different time. Is that real time? As in allowing for current traffic conditions.

Cheers David.

Route for the Dumfries trip. Still tweaking it so not the final draft but just to have a look at. If any of the basecamp gurus see any glaring errors let me know. ayrshire.gpx Created on MyRoute App and Ive opened it on basecamp (seems Ok as long as fastest route is the default setting). Don't under...

I've just used the free version of MyRoute, what's the additional benefits of paying a fee?
