    Maybe I'm blind, but can someone explain what the difference is between the BMW and MOPAR GL-5 differential fluids?

    Today I inquired again at my local dealership about the trade in value of my 2021 FE 14k, Russell Day Long seat, Wunderlich rear pillion rack, BMW Saddle Bags with mounts, and two sets of rims. The original spoked rims that I had no idea were not tubeless, and a set of BMW cast rims that set me...

    How many miles on your R18?

    I put a little bit over 14,000 miles on my 2021 R18FE since October of 2021 even though the bike was in the shop for about 2 and a half months combined, waiting for parts from Germany to arrive. It's funny because I have not been on any long road trips with the exception of the ride to Russell...

    Unbelievable. You are totally awesome. A dream creator nevertheless. Thank you for enlighten me with your magical words of wisdom, not to mention the caring qualities you display with such refinement and class. I have been transformed! No more bubbles. What a miracle man you are. Now go split...

    Quote from Dr. Markus Schramm, head of BMW Motorrad

    You just don't know what part to grab. Once again. If lane splitting in the State of California were legal, then the guy riding the motorcycle would not be liable for being in the wrong place at the wrong time going between two rows of cars. The law would find the driver of a car, a truck, a...

    Quote from Dr. Markus Schramm, head of BMW Motorrad

    Are you aware that if something bad happens while one's splitting lanes and is caused by a car for example, you, the motorcycle rider, are solely responsible for the outcome? If somebody in a car opens the door while you're trying to get through, or somebody changes lanes and causes you, the...

    Quote from Dr. Markus Schramm, head of BMW Motorrad

    Lane splitting in Cali is not "legal". It is just tolerated. Big difference that comes into play once they decide to not tolerate it anymore. They won't have to do anything but tell the public that started on such and such date lane splitting will no longer be possible. End of the story. But if...

    R18 VIBRATION

    Increasing the diameter of the grips is not really a good idea unless one has humongous hands. If not, it makes hanging on to the handlebars painful in no time. Cramping up is the name of the game! Just my experience.

    Look for 1st edition welcome box

    I did get the box at the dealership and when I got home, and opened it up, the only things I had found in there were the white gloves and a copper coloured condom with a thousand BMW roundels printed on it. It must be some esoteric knowledge involved here because I can't, for the life of me...

    DNA Air Filter and Air Box Cover Like New

    The reason is as stated in the original post. Decided to keep the bike stock, no mods of any kind. That is the reason! I know, you guys expected a"Saving Private Ryan" type of response to your question(s) but I don't have one. I believe that the OEM air filter is the best for the application...

    DNA Air Filter and Air Box Cover Like New

    On the bike for about 60 miles. Decided to revert to stock. It comes with instructions. Everything is in the box the way I received it. It cost me $160.00 total, shipped from Greece. $120.00 delivered in the US only.

    BMW Motorcycles and the Respect and Admiration They Deserve

    I reserved the letter "A" especially for you because I like to hear nonsensical things being said as an excuse for not being able to put together a real reply to the point I made in the original message. Congratulations on your detective work as well. I can't hide shirt from you. You are the...

    BMW Motorcycles and the Respect and Admiration They Deserve

    A brief reminder to those that fall into temptation and become blind to the esthetic refinements most of the BMW motorcycles possess.. Stop butchering this work of art with your poor taste. This bike is not a Honda and it's not a Harley Davidson either. Those German engineers and designers do...

    handlebar risers by Wild1

    You meant to say that Wunderlich was the source of "inspiration" in making those brackets, but you decided not to give them credit for it, did you? How do I know that, you wonder (lich)? I know because I do have the Wunderlich 25mm bar risers that came with longer brake lines, longer bolts and...

    handlebar risers by Wild1

    Have you also considered getting the Valkyrie's six cylinders six carburators engine and all the headaches that come with it? It would be an awesome addition to your Beemer/Honda new age/ancient future project and the portal into a new dimension of space and time. Something for you to consider...

    Harley Gas Caps fit...

    Give me some Harley part numbers for some Street Glide fairings and a gas tank while you're at it. Did you say Arlen Ness gas cap for a BMW R18? I can't believe this shirt!
