Re: 1st month with 2010 RT

I bought my ‘11 rt in 2014 with low miles. I came from inline 4s and inline twins so it took me a bit of time to be completely comfortable on the rt. I honestly thought that I’d be trading it in for something I was more used to. Until I took it on a trip up the California coast from San Diego to Mon...

Re: Our Other Bikes

Re: New member, researching the 1200RT

Welcome  to the forum! There’s a boat load of beemer knowledge around here and I bet they’ll answer all your questions. I came from the typical inline 4 and have adjusted nicely to my ‘11 rt.

BBC TV series

To the end of the earth. Fantastic series on Netflix. Basically about a voyage by ship from England to Australia showing the hardships of traveling in the 18th century with some good drama thrown in. Very good!

Re: SUPERBIKE FACTORY, MACCLESFIELD

Wow.  Here in the states, test ride policies run the gamut, but in my part of California, I've never been charged a penny for a test ride. In fact, my dealer encourages test rides.  And they give me a free loaner bike when I take mine in for service.  So the concept of be...
