Re: What have you got planned for 2016?

Hi Henry ...... Thank you very much for a wonderful reply, that as certainly wet my appetite, and will enjoy doing more research on your choices!
I only intend to book the ferry out, and the first night in Belgium, everything else we will roll with, so not to be tied down.

Thanks again
Dave

Re: Bmw warranty

I'd imagine it would be more expensive monthly, insurance usually is, but if your only going to use you bike for 7/8 months of the year!

Very pleased with them for the money, and get good reviews, I didn't what a pair that tucked in the boots, and being 6ft tall it proved a problem!

Re: Changing Tires

Had a look at mine today, no weight on the back, but one on the front, seem to remember the tyre fitter saying back didn't need balancing?

Re: Riding with luggage & pillion

Agree what the other guys are saying re - pillion getting on and off,  I'd only had mine a week when we toured Wales last June, and found the extra weight a handful at times till I got more used to it, best bit of advice I got from a fellow RT rider was make sure your in 1st when you set off.
