What did you do to your R18 today?

[Noelpolar]

What this ‘miles’ stuff…. Kilometres mate

I've converted to American in the hope my dollars convert as well..... driving on the other side is fun.... much quicker at roundabouts.... though the whoppers at Hungry Jacks haven't got into the spirit of it.

I received my new short - masked windscreen from BMW today. So far, I like it. A bit dark outside here in Pennsylvania and looks like rain. Maybe I'll take it to work tomorrow and report back.

$90 shipped from my local dealer. You have to swap the hardware over from the stock screen

I cannot upload photos here so jump over to Facebook if you want to see what it looks like.

Washed it today.... very special event... it's been about a year since it lasts wash.... about as long as between my washes if not for the wife's nagging....




Fwiw.... the Chinese carbon fibre bit's are growing on me.... thay are amazingly well made and sparkle in the sun when looking down from the seat when riding. I'm still contemplating the silver jug nipples.....

I have started drinking ouzo and am now getting "next level" good ideas, they were one of them. I wish I had known years ago that when suffering from "writers block" one just needed a new alholoic beverage to push through....

That's the risk of cleaning.... maybe you need a second dirty bike!
