BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Saturday, as Speedway takes priority on Sundays.

Hope to be in but still awaiting approval-must go now, got hovering, washing, windows to clean etc to get more brownie points. ::)

Good weather too, or was it a tad too warm?  Now that one is out the way, where and when is the next Northern Monkey tour? 8)

When they ask Muslim women to remove their head gear, then I might remove my helmet at petrol stations- until then I will stand my ground and argue the toss.

Have business in Sheffield this morning but may make a meet up at Castleton for 12.30 ish for a chat and brew. Have a good ride out!

5 different makes of bikes on the first Northern Meet,  so no we are not a closed shop and everyone welcome.

Considering buying a Nav V, just a couple of questions. My 2015LC has not got the audio package but has speakers and blank switches. Does Nav 5 connect to these speakers, or are they just covers ,is there a speaker built into Nav V unit itself , or do I need helmet communication???  If I ne...

Wow, and I thought my two  Arai helmets were expensive.

I too have had the sudden jumps in 1st and second, never use pro shift now in those gears.

Put me down for a good possibility, if my cycling injury improves in time.
