must admit that I will watch (and read) almost any science fiction I can get my hands on or buy a ticket to though admit that though I have the AVATAR special edition that i haven't watched all the disks, yet. still have one to go. That extra umpteen hours of stuff is a lot to watch. Should...

posted elsewhere - but I was there and was also washed out of the demo ride - here is my take on the bike again. just got back from the bike show in Long Beach. Disappointed that they canceled my demo ride on the Super Tenere due to light drizzle - bunch of sissies. Did spend some time on the...

just got back from the bike show in Long Beach. Disappointed that they canceled my demo ride on the Super Tenere due to light drizzle - bunch of sissies. Did spend some time on the bike and since I was the only person out at the demo truck, they let me mess around with the bike, fire it up and...

duh yes

this is the problem with conversion kits - the reflectors of the stock lights are not purposefully built for HID bulbs which usually don't have the exact same fit - either too long or too short - and even with a perfect fit - the reflectors weren't made for it. That said there are some kits and...

good luck to you. unfortunately - my list of friends with BMW failures is a Long one - and they have plenty of data. So do I with two final drive failures on my K12LT. the first at about 75,000 miles and the second about 25k later. I have a friend with a GT - that has had 3 failures - one on...

you will also see Dual Lock marketed as "Super Lock". This stuff is the bomb and I always have extra in my tool box. As mentioned - the glue (to borrow a phrase) is strong with this one ! Be careful on what you mount it. The first time I ever used the stuff I put a 1" wide strip about 3"...

this is a good summary - the only thing your friend is not commenting on and one more reason to go to the XT12Z - is the lack of reliability exhibited by BMW over the last dozen years - along with their unwillingness and arrogance in dealing with their problems. Like the R bikes that surged and...

gracias

well THAT didn't turn out right --- supposed to be something like LARGE XT with small 1200 and LARGE Z so XTZ - what I hope to have when I'm riding mine.

I liked A - but I would add something like XT1200Z Is this what you intended? ;)

i got mine free - so I admit that I haven't priced them lately, and 2 fer 1 is obviously an exaggeration - but when I got mine they were at least 300 cheaper (total) than Stich. To change the subject - anyone looked KLIM gear? I saw the Adventurer stuff and other than a freekin' SHOCKING...

a question was asked about the aerostich AD1 pants. I have found them inferior to the darien pants due to the knee pads being incorrectly located. Just don't seem to fit as well. Have some Darien pants for a bunch of years - actually about finally worn OUT, but they have been great. that said...

d & h also sold YES warranties at a very low price - at least they did back with FJR's were first coming out.

my little magnetic finger glove thingie. great for holding a nut underneath a difficult location. saves tons of drop nuts and searching the garage floor.. also fond of a tiny ratchet I have for getting into small places and still able to turn a wrench. bonus third tool - long telescoping...
