BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Oh yes!

Lovely bikes. :cheers: This is/was my -99 back in the day. It was first customer delivered RSV in the country. And after two years I traded it in for a pristine R1100RT. What an idiot. :lol: Today it is in the dealer's collection. I have tried to buy it but no luck so far. :| https://i.imgur.com/dUe...

I have been using Rukka and/or Yoko base layer and micro fleece mid layer if it is very cold.

I bought last year (or one before that) a generic heated west from local supermarket. It has heating elements on front and back as well as aroung the collar. It has three different power settings + off. I can only have it on lowest setting and only when it is under 15°C. Vest by itself is really war...

That's a Factory version, right? IIRC those blue wheels are forged.

I'd like to take a trip to northern Norway, Kirkenes for example. Maybe another further south in Sweden and Norway. And another to central Europe too. But that would need to take place in April before it starts to get warm there. And naturally again a trip around Finland. But that could be later in ...

FWIW, just noticed by accident that battery dealer had -15% this weekend so after agonizing days of going back and forth I finally ordered:

- Exide AGM ETX14AHL-BS for Suzuki

Too much time, too many alternatives.

Where I live (West Coast) the snow is gone - well, for now.

Yesterday we had a very nice sunny weather but as it is still January I'm quite sure that we get more snow and cold. As a matter of fact yesterday it felt like late March.

At least two more months to go...

Bah! There was no Paypal option but i ordered those today anyway.

I'm about 250 lbs on a good day so if they take my old bones (heavy) they take anything.

"And now for something completely different." My GSX1100EF has a bit of cracks on front end dust seals and the whole front end is rather soft and tired. So I was looking at springs and what else was needed when my buddy since early 70's called from dealer informing that he has an alternat...

FWIW, I went to start my Suzuki but all that happened was just click-click-click. Battery is an Exide AGM which I bought 6/2020. It has been in battery tender every now and then, last time a month ago. After two hours in tender it showed full but when I tried to start it just bogs. Time for a new ba...

This is quite interesting.

That is good to know. Paypal will give additional peace of mind.

That is a lot of CCA and then some.
