BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Well - at least she was kind enough to say sorry!  :-)


Cool that the bike had zero damage though...

Thanks guys. I dread to think of the screech I made as I tried to grab it as it fell away... thank god i didnt have the side panniers! Interesting... There's a school of thought that the panniers generally do a good job of protecting some of the more expensive parts of the bike.  You recko...

Seem to remember he asked about BMW clothing.  Would appear  nobody on here has any, except me of course who has nothing else. Please , please nobody take offence over my observation or choice of first class gear. Not quite true... I'm forever extolling the virtues of BMW helmets ...

Even better!

Agree (mainly!) with RTman10.  Although, it's worth noting that there is plenty of other kit out there, some of which is undoubtedly better and much of which is definitely cheaper!  Rukka for example provide a 5-year warranty, which appears to be honoured without question.&nbsp...

I agree, I think most of us on this forum are of a certain age :o & grew up pre PC. We worked in places where 'banter' was part & parcel of the job, rightly or wrongly. 25 years down t'pit for me & if you didn't quickly develop a thick skin you were soon out. So most of the stuff that g...

We've all been there - and it could have been a lot worse...

Will update on Friday evening or Saturday morning before 9am.

What's all this stuff about not riding in bad weather David?  I thought it was us southerners who were supposed to be the softies??

I despair, I really do...

Isn't it the case though that non-BMW bt stuff can't be controlled with the wonder wheel?

Hey Folks, So I need to get a new helmet and comm system plus GPS.  For the GPS I'm going to get the new NAV VI.  For the helmet I'm thinking either Schuberth C3 Pro, C4 Pro or BMW Sys 7 Carbon.  It depends on what fits my head best and feels good.  Depending on ...

In your pocket or pannier or top box, like most normal people  8) I never had a top box on my RT - bloody ugly, ungainly things IMHO - and my pockets are always full of other rubbish! To be honest, I don't think I ever bothered with a disc lock on the RT.  I'm not really convinced...

I have an Thatcham approved Abus disc lock with alarm (cost just under £100) that fits in the left hand fairing storage compartment, never tried it under the seat as I have my auto com under there but I would think it would go. I normally wouldn't buy a disc lock but the alarmed ones have a visual ...

The spots look like rocket launchers on an Apache!

Not really.  One CD at a time and jumps at every bump.

Yeah - but it's like a car with an 8-track.  It might not work but it's still really cool!!!
