There's just......one other vehicle that S&S put their engine in that I've been lusting after for a LONG time..... The Morgan 3-wheeler. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/morgan/3-wheeler-2012-2020 It's too bad that a couple years ago, Morgan discontinued with S&S and instead, went with a...

Several things I'd check for: Is the fuel pump in the tank running? Listen for the humming while the ignition is on. If the fuel pump is running, I'd pull the affected fuel line (the one you've been testing) and see if it squirts fuel out (into a safe container). Is the fuel coming out at a...

For future reference, for these fuel lines, you push the black female fitting against the male, press the light grey tab inwards, then pull outwards. Reinstallation is as simple as fitting the male and female parts together, ensuring a "click" happens. Do a light tug to ensure the fitting clamp...

https://www.topspeed.com/these-2000cc-chinese-cruisers-want-to-challenge-harley-davidson/ I wonder if motorcycle reviewers will give these guys as much grief as they did with BMW and the R18 line for challenging American cruisers? Mike

Not everyone here shares your political viewpoints sir... ;) Just my counterpoint in a humorous meme. Mike

I LOVE my Alcina (2022 R18 Transcontinental First Edition)! Here's how I see it: Get the TC if you can afford it up front. If you don't like the top case, you can always remove it later. IMHO, it's cheaper to just get all of the TC goodies up front than to buy a bagger and then try building a...

https://www.rideapart.com/news/687857/bmw-motorrad-usa-stop-sale/ https://www.autoblog.com/2023/09/21/bmw-motorcycle-stop-sale-emissions/ There's not much info out in the press on this matter, except that it deals with the EVAP system, (the vapor canister that traps the fuel vapor and returns...

BINGO! That's the one. Probably the easiest way to describe how to find it is: It's directly behind the oil filter, centerline of the bike. I was able to feel for it on Alcina, hands-only. Mike

Moby, While I would HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone, I would MOST certainly recommend this product to you, especially with your bone issue. It's the "Helite Turtle 2" motorcycle airbag vest. And, while it is a little pricey, it is something that both wifey and I both have since, what...

I picture I took while on shore leave in 2009 in Phuket, Thailand. The PASSION! 🤣 🤣 🤣 A good portion of the world uses 2-wheels for their principal transportation. Just some light ribbing ;) 🍻 Mike

You might be the first to report on it then... ;) "Just because a dealership hasn't heard of a problem before doesn't mean that problem cannot exist now..." - a truism. Mike

My immediate thought went to your "POWER ON" switch on your right-handlebar. You might want to check if any water got inside the switch and is causing a short? Mike

Texas weather doesn't seem to be getting much cooler as of late. Maybe someone should give them the memo that a LOT of bikes are still air/oil cooled, like our R18's! When I was stationed in San Diego, I used lane-splitting mainly on the Coronado bridge in morning traffic to the naval base...

Oh boy...welcome to the internet Rufus... https://securethoughts.com/computer-spying-on-you/ I'd say at least in the EU, they have more protections against this sort of thing...if you LIVED in the EU, that is... ;) But, while we're on the subject of "targeted advertising", I "hope" you don't...

Weird how California is the nanny state where lane-splitting is legal, but Texas just outlawed lane-splitting. https://www.rideapart.com/news/685449/texas-outlaws-lane-splitting-filtering/#:~:text=Under%20the%20terms%20of%20this,by%20state%20representative%20Ryan%20Guillen. Things that make you...

Huh... I'll be damned... What sort of black magic sorcery is BMW up to here?!?!?! I just came in myself, key in hand, typing this. The clutch has NO effect on reverse gear! I've been wrong before, and I'm certainly man enough to admit that I'm wrong yet again. Mike

🤣 I'm not debating that the GS can handle off-road conditions better than the R18. The GS and the R18 are in different classes and have nothing to do with one another. I cannot ride my Alcina off-road, nor would I dare to; I didn't buy her for that purpose. But, I wouldn't buy a GS for an...

Clutch disengages the transmission from the final drive. Reverse gear is in transmission. Hence, clutch WILL disengage reverse from final drive. Mike

Oh, just the base model then? Because BMW smartened up and underpriced the TC in comparison to its rivals. IMHO, the TC is the one to beat in terms of value and bang for buck. The cruiser is an "art" bike, whereas the B and TC's are riders. Mike
