Thanks David. I've signed up to their mailing list. Maybe one day, I'll take a tour.

Glad you managed to stop before it failed catastrophically!

Ali Express - Crankcase covers
I've had a quote to repaint the Crankcase covers on my 2012 RT. For less than the cost of a repaint, I can but a new set from Ali Express. I wonder if the quality is OK? I know it's unlikely, but I wondered if anyone else had purchased a set? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003368479345.html?spm...

Re: BMW Insured Warranty
Here's hoping you don't need to claim on it this year.
Do you start up your bike over the winter David, or just cross your fingers on the 1st April that it will fire into life?

Re: Annual meet 2023 Discussion Thread
Tim and I are travelling up on Thursday, staying here on the way up to break the 400 mile ride. If any of the Southern guys want to do the same, just let me know. https://all.accor.com/hotel/6617/index.en.shtml And then staying at the Fort Dunlop Travelodge on the way home, with a quick trip in to t...

Re: The Southern Softies group meet ups
Wessons at Horam closed a while back.
Close to there is the Butchers Hook cafe. That's worth a visit.

Re: The Southern Monk group meet ups
Yes, I'd be keen on meeting up. We've had a few 'Southern Softies' meetings before.
I'm close to Gatwick.

Re: 2011 Camhead - clunky gear changes
My 2012 CLUNKS when I change gear.
I came from a slick Honda CBF600, which glided into gear by comparison. You learn to get used to it, but I was told by the dealer and my independent mechanic "They all do that".

Re: Shoei Neotec 2
Opened up one of the photos and found this young lady offering me what I'm looking for.Screenshot_20221123-161453.png
Which nice because what I'm looking for is someone to pay my gas and electricity bill over the winter.

Re: Wheel Balancing Limits
60g on the front, and none on the rear on my RT.
I'm sure I was told on another bike that balancing the rear, isn't as important as the front.

Re: Annual meet 2023 Discussion Thread
With lots of help from Bob21 and lots of YouTube tutorials, I finally got my head around Basecamp.
Then I ‘saw the light’ and converted to Tourstart. Best Eur 19 I’ve spent this year.

Re: Security whilst touring.
I never lock mine up. If I'm leaving it all night, I'll sometimes put the steering lock on, but that's it.
If someone is determined enough, they'll steal it irrespective of what security I put on it. That's why it's insured.
