BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hiya, which end is the service history missing? I'm no expert but if the initial history is missing that would be worse for me than if the later history wasn't done by BMW. Not everyone wants to pay dealer servicing costs on an older bike and that's fine as long as its still been serviced somewhere ...

Thanks for all the comments, you are all correct. I have a mini compressor and plug kit, even a bottle of Stans no tubes which has saved me before but for a couple of miles before it went, the bike felt like I was riding over a washboard at low speed. I was 4 miles from where we were staying so deci...

BMW assist were great, bike recovered in about an hour but nearest BMW dealers (Chester) closed til Monday. No probs, they give you a hire car! Hire car is in Llandudno. I'm in Dolgellau...

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...

I'd say it depends on your level of physical and mental fitness. In middle age muscle wastage starts and if you're not active you can quickly lose core and leg strength. Are you mentally fit enough to spot hazards and take action? Do you drive defensively? If the answer is yes to these questions get...

No shame in admitting a lighter bike makes life easier. I was at the same stage with my K1600 that I'd had for seven years. I got a R1250RT as a loan bike last xmas but they didn't have one without the fancy screen and keyless ignition for sale but when a 20 plate came up in Febuary this year with g...

Go up to the Assynt region, beautiful up around Lochinver ;-)

Excellent selection of sex toys though

Sex? Ah...I think I remember it - lots of expensive pushing and shoving....

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.
