It's always great to hear of a mans life being so full and having no regrets..



I try to live with the viewpoint of regret what you do and don't ever regret what you don't do.......

You haven't included a link but I did see that and was wondering about the price then saw it mentioned it being a GS.......I can only imagine they have the price wrong as well as the details!!

I have been driving for 23 year (Christ I sound like and old moan!!) and never had to make a claim and its 15 on 2 whe...

Beautifully cafe style racer......

And the GS is great-why don't BMW offer a "sport" GS with 180 rear tyre 17" front wheel etc-more like the bastard offspring of a GS and Multistrada...............

I'd buy one!!!

No biggie. Take the calipers off and remove the pads. Pump the brakes gently so the pistons move a few mm then using brake cleaner and an old toothbrush clean all of the pistons. Then clean any corrosion off the slider pin (using emery paper) Deglaze the pads (rub them with some emery paper or a fil...

So just to confirm if I order some Castrol syntrax 75w 90 I can use this in the final drive (180ml) and ALSO in the gearbox (800-90...

D'oh just realised how do you hold the bike up when you take the rear wheel off?? I have a rear paddock stand but obviously can't use that!

Trolley jack underneath the sump-cat (with wood to spread the weight??)

PS -I don't have an ABBA stand!

The thing you need to remember is that BMW put the non linear throttle on there to try and protect us from our hamfisted throttle inputs while on wet greasy roundabouts! If you had a direct throttle connection and give it too much (easier with a quick action throttle) the torque from the big twin co...
