First ride on a BCR yesterday

I'll come clean.

Many moons ago I ran a basic grey R1100s for a while. Have been lurking around here for a while. Been through a few bikes since then and have a basic black Beemer in the shed, but only recently acquired a nice BCR and had it trucked home.

Sun was still shining yesterday evening after my chores were done. The rain promised to stay away. So I rolled it out of the shed for my first ride.

And second ride this morning. So I could compare the high and low seats.

What a sweetie! A tribute to the care and attention bestowed upon it before falling into my hands.

Purrs like a pussy cat. Rides well. I promise not to get it dirty.

Now - how on earth do I lock the mirror stems in the correct position? Now screwed in tight, but in the wrong place. Where's the lock nut hiding?

:shock: You have definitely elected the wrong username :wink:

Nice choice of bike though!

BTW follow the stem down and look underneath, all is revealed, 6mm allen key needed.

That is a beautiful bike!

BCRs are rare as hen's teeth here in the US.

Oddly enough there is somebody who lives nearby me that has the twin of my R11. Odd I only see hint when I'm driving not riding. Maybe he's got a spare key to my garage?

That's a clean example, for sure. :D

Central Scotland? Roughly where?

Last minute add on in case I scratched it. Must get a proper tank protector.
