Riding for Charleston SC to Wheels Through Time, Sept 18-21. All welcome to join. Let me know.

How do you "react" to a post here? I can't find any option that lets me do that but I see that others have.

Ran into a plastic grocery bag that blew out of the back of a truck. Anyone know if this can be removed or will I have to replace the head pipe?

While waiting for the shop to complete the reverse recall repair, I test rode a Can Am Electric motorcycle. That thing was a blast!!! I was prepared to be underwhelmed, but I was very surprised. It had plenty of power and regen at the throttle could be used to brake. If they could make one...

I was just curious how many R18 riders have had knee replacements and are still able to ride comfortably. Sadly, my left knee is degrading and I can only stand short jaunts on my TC now. The R18 requires a more severe knee bend than some bikes. What was initially a little awkward has now become...

I stalled my TC today at a traffic light. When I did a fast restart, both the fuel gauge and power reserve gauge seemed to re-zero themselves in mid stroke. Now they are both indicating wildly inaccurate. With power off, the fuel gauge shows 3/8 and the power reserve meter shows 5%. I did note...

Any South Carolina R18 Riders? I'm in the Charleston area. Up for a ride anytime.

...not really, but if I could have reached my gun I'd have put one through it!!! Went to ride yesterday and the Connect app half-ass connected to the bike. It started spouting navigation instructions to God knows where and would not allow me access to the nav screen to turn it off because it...

I rode my R18TC to Myrtle Beach Bike Week for a couple of days. While I must admit that I fell in love with the bike at first sight, it's taken me a while to develop a good relationship with it. Now that I have, I'm enjoying the ride more all the time. My friend bet me $20 we wouldn't see...

I looked for a concise answer and didn't see one... I'm a reasonably competent mechanic and feel quite confident that I can perform the maintenance required for my R18TC. Will BMW continue to honor the warranty if I perform my own service? 6k miles service is coming up. If they will, what...

Is there a way to remove a single radio station from the Favorites list on my R18 Transcontinental? The Riders manual just explains how to delete the entire list.

I've been on numerous rides lately as a guest with the local H.O.G. chapter and have thoroughly enjoyed the social experience. I would have thought I'd take some flack for the only non-HD on the rides, but folks have been nothing but positive and complimentary about my TC. I've been hesitant...

I did my first long ride on my Transcontinental last week and I can testify that the stock seat is lacking. Looking at a few options: 1) Corbin - beautiful seat, $1000 2) Mean City Cycles - waiting to hear back if they can perform an upgrade. $ undetermined as of yet. 3) C.C. Rider? Saw these...

Hello BMW! Please, please consider developing an R18B/C with a fixed frame mount fairing. I know we have the K1600B but that just doesn't scratch the itch. The history of the R100RT really presents an opportunity.

Has anyone seen these on Amazon? Thoughts?

Does anyone know if the stock exhaust tips can be replaced or modified? I don't see an obvious way to do it without replacing the entire muffler. I've always loved fish tails...

Does anyone know about custom mirror options for the R18? Attachment looks similar to HD, but I don't know if mirrors made for HD would fit. Any experiences?

Ok, so it's no secret that the B/TC handlebars are just horrible. So, rather than bitching, I'm gonna fix it. Since surgically extending my arms is cost prohibitive, it looks like replacing the bars is on the menu. In this thread, I'd like to hear from folks who have successfully remediated the...

Hi! I'm a new owner of a 2023 R18TC. I've been riding for about 47 years. My previous rides include a Honda XL250, a Suzuki RE-5 (look that one up!), a couple of Kawasaki Vulcans, a Victory V92TC and a Victory Vision (best long distance touring cruiser bar none). While the R18TC is a beautiful...
