BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Buying a motorcycle helmet is like buying underwear , they are tight , they move about  , its quite difficult to get a perfect fit , my last helmet was too tight i was getting irritating pains on the top my head after about an hours ride , so i thought ok i,ll get the next size up , felt g...

Ouch, you were lucky there.......


I wouldnt wear a "scooter" helmet either I have been using Shoei for 15 years now but really grudge the cost...... a new Neotc with intercom... £600  >:(

I don't trust £300 helmets, there fine sliding down a track but if you headbut someting solid......... I was wondering if the US ( where the site is pretending? to be) doesnt have high taxation like us or if the're in a state where compulsory wearing isnt in force the price may be cheaper..... As sa...

I keep seeing this advertised, am I missing something    https://www.tigeoe.online/ Their prices are rediculously cheap, Shoei helmets, and they say the ship to several countries.... a Neotec for under 100 dollars including shipping. When I google earth the adress on the website it...

My RT is white, my clothing and helmet are dark..... what I have noticed recently is when I catch up with a car, I drive mostly on country roads, they drive in the gutter / verge and kick up all sorts of crap with their tyres!!!  I dont know if they think I am police or they just are helpin...

Does anyone know if Wunderlicht manufacture themselves, or is this the same product from the same factory without going to Wunderlicht first?

Thanks Levisp, I would prefer to wear gloves than using muffs but just cant find the right ones. I did try mitts years ago but couldnt get on with them.... I found out that I clutch and brake with different amounts of fingers at different times / speeds...... these look different again though... cou...

Anyone used these?

I have tried a few different gloves and cant get comfy in anything other than summer ones.... so thinking of these now..

I paid £210 a couple of weeks back for 6000 miles, 1 yr service plus brake fluid flush.... BMW Main Dealer

Great run today, and as usual met some nice like minded guys. Stopped at the "Green Welly" and two RT's pulled in, Black one & Red one, they were heading North, forgot to ask if they were members... Stopped near Bridge of Orchy on route to Glen Coe, took this pic there. Round trip of 2...

I insured my Triumph Tiger, few years back, with Bikesure who are a part of Adrian Flux, declared the K&N filter & the Beowulf end can..... no charge.

Thanks for the feedback, food for thought.... I just hate trying on stuff, lost count of the number of trousers i tried before I found my Oxford suit which fits but doesnt keep water out or wind into the trousers  :(  I like the look of the Rukka gear...... Think I will need to get...

To start off, I must say I hate anything new clothing wise. I wish I coud pay someone o wear my ger for a couple of months before I use it  :alas: So as for the title, I need new gear, Jacket Trousers(pants) gloves &  boots. Well, whats worked for you guys? I dont mind paying R...

On my 2020 it appears to be for economy, not sure of the parameters used but similar to my wife's car. If your light on the throttle it suggests shifting up. I switched mine off, found it distracting having an orange light / symbol appearing on the dash...... as with you, I know when to shift

Wee run up to the Glenfinnan Viaduct (Harry Potter fame) and back. 300 mile round trip for me, stopped in Gen Coe on the way back, clouds were touching the mountains so very dramatic. Traffic was quite busy but moving well.... cracking day, 15 deg c in the glen and 24 deg when back down. Loads of bi...
