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.

Re: Best years to buy r1200rt
That's good to know. I've worried about the potential fuel strip on my 2012. I didn't realise it doesn't have one!

The cafe and facilities were superb. https://philiphaughestate.com/the-waterwheel-cafe/ Please don't think that I'm trying to interfere with your plans MikeS. It wouldn't mind at all if you ignored all of my ramblings. Looking for...

Re: Dumfries 2023 Annual RT Meet 14th to 16th July 2023
Thanks for organising MikeS. Tim and I rode around the area last year. There are some superb roads up there for sure. One that sticks in my mind is the A708, that runs alongside The Loch of The Lowes. We stopped at the Glen Cafe, which is right on the side of the Loch. I think it may be too far off ...

Re: 2022 Sim's UK Annual meet
A great weekend chaps. Thanks to Simbo for planning the route and leading our ride on Saturday.
Well done to Mike for 'volunteering' to plan a route for next year - thanks Mike.
Thanks also to David for topping up my oil on Sunday morning - I must remember to keep a closer eye on that!
