BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I had this PDF sent to me, quite interesting although it may be old news for some.

I would like to attend, if I can get my act in order, full charge & full tank. I`m away 6th - 15th touring southern Spain on a hired GS (turncoat)

Great pics, looks like you had a good ride. When the RAC guy turned up my bike fired up ok and has been ok since!! On the ride over to Wetherby I noticed that the rear heated seat was switched on. I switched it off, but this might have caused the drained battery.

Any advice please ?

Any plans for an August meet up?

Did you opt for the 15th or is the 22nd still a possibility?

Good banter in this thread, why was Wetherby mentioned earlier up the thread?

A single headset. I think it has been superceded by the sena10, but I don't need the extra functions.

Hi guys, just a quick update. I bought a Sena 05 headset £80.00. The correct process is to pair the sena with Garmin, then pair sena with pillion headset. Boom - it works fine, giving priority to the Garmin . We are half way through our summer tour, basking in Côte d'Azur sunshine without any fallou...
