So you like your English brands. There is a maker in the borders whose name escapes me. When funds allow, I fancy one from there. Edit: Aero Leathers

Hi W4H BMW have just agreed to replace my rims, due to corrosion. I expected a bit of a tussle however, all was quick and easy. Wishing you some success one way or another.

Corrosion on hubs where spokes interlock with hub. BMW have agreed to replace under warranty.

Maybe not worth ‘your’ money, but definitely was worth mine. The tune is very subtle but makes big improvements all round in my opinion.

Which shade did you go for? Fancy the bronze myself. Or perhaps the light grey

Will it not cause you to have to look down and take your eyes off the road?

Best you don’t wrap your exhaust then. If you are going to ride around with concerns, not worth it for aesthetic's. 😊

I don’t think anyone is suggesting it as a top tip. Just something very naughty. 🤷‍♂️

Weirdly, the only other bike floating my boat right now is nothing like the R18, other than perhaps being just as quirky. Moto Guzzi V85TT

I was on the motorway with two friends on their GS type bikes. They were been blown round a bit in the cross wind and couldn’t believe I was quite comfortable with one handed riding. The bike was rock solid.

The Road King was brilliant for hands off riding

Glad to read it’s not just me. Which of us will come a cropper first I wonder. 😁

I didn’t pay anything like the price in the pic, but it was pretty pricey. If it had been made in Austria, Japan or USA, all of which are famous for working with Cordovan (Horse) leather I would have been over the moon.

Wow. Very nice. I bought the BMW Pure Boxer. Really nice leather but disappointed to see it was made in Vietnam and the stunning looking interior is not that hard wearing.

Looking at their website just now. I think their prices are creeping up. It has become my favourite jacket however.

I suspect those are in extremes. If the bike is not kept outside and the exhaust is first of all prepped with a high temperature silicone, it should be OK. The original purpose of wrapping manifolds was to keep the exhaust gases hot until they had escaped. I would be surprised Olof temperature...

I’ve seen it done on other R18’s. Thinking about it myself.

I have the Merlin wax cotton jacket in brown. Several times, it has been mistaken for a Belstaff. Nice fit, warm and waterproof. Good value too.

In UK, £200.00 is the going rate on EBay. Not too far away from the $300 quoted. Maybe make an offer.

Shirt works for me too.
