Seriously??? We've had flooding down our way for weeks, and have almost continuous rain forecast for the remainder of the month... and you want more rain!

I have the Denali one piece horn on the RT but far preferred the Nautilus horn that I had fitted to my old ST1300. To my ears there appears to be a momentary pause between pressing the horn button and the sound emitting, whereas it was immediate with the latter.

Mine sits on a CTEK when it’s not in use, I’ve done this with all my bikes and it’s never caused me a problem.

No, my 2018 hasn’t had a dealer service in the last 4 years, but I still received a letter from BMW to get the shaft checked along with the footrests and ECU update FOC.

These may help though I can't find the video and can only assume it' been taken down. These older posts refers to similar problems - https://www.bmwlt.com/threads/front-fairing-removal-problem-led-headlight-install.192909/ https://www.1200rt.com/viewtopic.php?t=3045&sid=9dd96033f23c7f153e735f419...

There’s a video I believe for stripping the fairing, I’ll try and find it tomorrow

Is your sargent seat heated ?

Oh yes! Nothing like a warm bum on a cold day..

The UK importer is Calamander I believe, you can send it back if it doesn’t suit you, but from what I’ve heard he (understandably perhaps?) won’t be happy to refund. Seats are like screens, I’ve always put Sargents on my touring bikes but what suits me may not suit you… they do come up 2nd hand. My ...

Hah… tidy garage! Lots of space now 😊 Prompted by shame and a nice day for the bike to be wheeled out, enforced by the fact I didn’t shut the freezer door properly and it was totally iced up 🙄 so I had to tidy up for space to empty it out. But now it’s done and I’ve just enough time polish my halo! ...

A footnote to this thread - After Bahnstormers BMW replacing the shaft free of charge last month (thank you 👍) I’ve since noticed that on a couple of occasions the rear rubber gaiter had become misplaced, thus exposing the shaft to water ingress. This of course happened in style as I hadn’t noticed ...

That thought occurred to me too

Didn’t do a lot of pics but here’s my ZX10 at a French forest campsite in the early ‘90’s (when I had hair),and a VF1000R halfway through the Deer Park bends near Horncastle in Lincolnshire.

How old do you want? This is me and my bike… well, eventually my bike after my Dad binned it and I got it fixed many years later.

How I hate people with tidy garages, but it’s only jealousy
really!

I do a regular 3 monthly clean up and it looks really good… for at least two days.
