[HarryHH]

Hello friends,
I would like to introduce myself:
My name is Harry [Harald], 71 years young, long-legged and no belly.
I live in Norderstedt, a city right next to Hamburg/Germany.
Two professions: telecommunications technician at Deutsche Telekom and driving instructor in the army (1972 to 1984).
Retired as a civil servant.
Hobby: Car transfer across Germany.

Owner of the R 18 FE since May 2020. Her name is Miss O.
Special equipment: different oil cooler, longer front fender, nicer cylinder head covers.
Use a magnifying glass on the engine shield.
And lastly: I am very humorous

Hi HarryHH nice looking bike

 

[Alex-B]

Welcome I am signed up on the German forum but Google doesn’t always translate it too well. Still a good source of information and some nice examples of R18s

Hai Alex,
my English froze a long time ago.

Just write in the German forum in English or simply German.
Nobody will laugh at you there.
We are happy about it.
And you get answers, too.

Welcome to the group Harald. I have been to Hamburg many times to visit my cousins. It is a very beautiful place. When I go there on vacation I ride motorcycles with my cousin in Ost Deutschland by the river Elbe, near Dömitz. You are very fortunate to live in such a great place!! Prost

 

[HarryHH]

Thank you.
Yes, Germany is beautiful.
However, sometimes pretty stupid - from a political point of view.
But that's the same in many other countries - isn't it?

I like the finned cylinder head covers. Have not seen them on this side of the pond.

Thank you!

Do you see any improvements in cooling?

Have a nice day also!

 

[HarryHH]

I installed the oil cooler and the extended fender at the same time.
The longer sheet metal is stone chip protection for the cooler.

Do you have any issues with the engine heating?
