I notice F90X has the same problem as me.... the starter motor cover slipping away.

Just a rubber bung and a bolt on the inner side to hold it on... Why is is it like that.... Is this a result of some sort of evolution.... I cannot believe BMW designed it that way from sratch. :?:

Has any one over come this..... Sorry I one of those nurds who walks into a room and sees immediately the sloping picture frame.... it takes all sorts!! :roll:

I would like to post some pictures of my new bike...................................... but it has not come yet. It was picked up in Berlin on thursday last and, if I can believe the transport guy, should be here by end of Jan. This is getting frustrating but at least I still have my Ducati. We went out for a spin (Me and my Duc) and ended up doing around 450 Km on the most gorgeous roads in absolutely fantastic weather. Wish I had my Beemer!!!!!! :( sigh. :cry:

Karlos.... what do you think of the spanish roads then.... much better than in the UK.??

In Costa Calida (Murcia) I bet they are even more quiet than the Blanca.

I look forward to your piccies when you get the bike..... The best pose for the bike is with the sea and sun behind the bike.... preferably a few palm trees.... that really gets the UK lot going.... poor bastards at the moment :wink: :roll:

Hi Stuart,
Yes definately muuuuuuch better than the roads in the U.K. better than the roads in Germany as well, at least those around the NRW area, where I used to live many years ago.
You may be right about the roads being quieter down there around Murcia but I reckon there are a lot more twisties around here and the further you get away from the coast the quieter they are.
If you don´t believe me take a ride up here and I would be more than willing to give you (and any other Boxertrixter around) a guided tour of the roads that I have on my doorstep. :lol: :lol:
Forgive me for asking but what´s the weather like over there in the U.K. at the moment lads?? snigger, snigger :wink: :wink:

Un saludo

Just the usual Karlos; 6 months of winter closely followed by 6 months of bad weather. :(

Well I live at about 900 feet, just off the Penine Way and the local town was cut-off today by flooding.
