    Drive Shaft Illumination

    I followed the link you provided and looked at the .pdf installation instructions on the page. About half-way through I began to feel like a dog watching television ... but I am not very handy with this kind of stuff. I would like to see a video, at dusk or dark or a street and night of the...

    Jack/Lift for the R18?

    Most reasonable and I agreee. I will ask to have a look next summer when I get an annual service on my machine. Cheers.

    R18 100th Anniversary Model

    100 years - fantastic. Why can't they make a stock seat that a human being can sit on for more than 10 minutes?;)

    BMW 8 days of Cyber Deals?

    Page Not Found Select a Motorcycle is the result I got when I used the link. Perhaps I am too late. It appears to be a Seattle BMW motorcycle dealer. (?).

    Never Notice That!

    As I posted previously this summer, as this is my first airhead and boxer twin, I became aware of the jug offset because my right foot was a touch warmer than the left when I was riding one day. I felt slightly dopey about that, but hey, gotta learn something every day or you are not paying...

    ALMOST was a DIY on installing battery trickle charger, but stopped when realized bike might not like direct trickle charging (photos in thread)

    I bought the Optimate 4 with the CANbus connector. Out of the box it took me a couple of goes to figure out if it was in the CANbus mode. There are confusing (to me anyway) paper instructions, but I found an excellent online video clip. The Optimate 4 is the bee’s knees. It is less than half the...

    Choices for a motorcycle cover

    There was another thread about this somewhere on the site. I was in a quandary myself as I keep my bike outside in summer but in my garage in winter. As I looked at options I chose www.carcoversfactory.ca and bought the large. It is an excellent quality cover and came quickly. However, the large...

    RIP Queen Elizabeth II

    I was an RCAF pilot, then flew as a civilian for the British Government in a foreign country for some years, still in a military role. Her Majesty was my Queen and I was quite sentimentally loyal to her. I am Canadian but my heritage and deep attachments to England are strong. Our daughter lives...

    Is limited lean angle posing a safety risk?

    I agree, the lean angle is steep. Today I was playing with an upright front tire chock I bought, as I wanted (I thought) to store the bike during winter in my garage. I noticed after it was upright for a bit, that it did not fit well in the front wheel chock. I do not think it will safely hold...

    Warm Right Foot

    I had a warm right foot on yesterday's ride and after some on-seat looking around I, (first time!), noticed the right hand engine cylinder is locate closer to the seat than the left hand one. The reason is obvious and I find this a bit amusing more than anything. I ride with Daytona GTX boots...
