What winds me up is how the headline reads! How about car pulls across front of motorcyclist because he never looked!

Thats shocking

I have seen you mention this a few times and I always pull the face of I am going to be that annoying kid! Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? I was always under the impression that the reg/recs job was to charge the battery fully and once fully charged pump the rest out as heat! so why won't it fully charge a battery? Oh and to @thevoyager car not running if you haven't guessed

It was! and still is! almost 8 months off work with it! Lots of nerve damage and muscle weakness in my face and as I say left with hearing loss of about 40% left in my right ear and also tinnitus in both ears although I do believe riding bikes has contributed to that too! To be honest I have just got used to the ringing! at first it was a nightmare and would stop me sleeping but I am out like a like now

I wish it was!

Ramsey hunt syndrome isn't related as such! Google what it is But it causes damage to the nerves and hearing loss and causes tinnitus amongst other long term issues I've been left with

I got something called Ramsey Hunt Syndrome at the start of 2020 which has left me with hearing loss and tinnitus! Stress certainly makes it worse as does lack of sleep! Being out on the bike does aggravate it a little but I have already learn to live with it! Before all this when I had been out on the bike my ears always seemed a bit sensitive to sound after a long days riding and I would get a slight ringing in my ears but it wasn't anything to complain about to be fair

I have had 1000's 1300's and 1200's and always look for another gear! it never stops so stop using it as an excuse You both want a 1000cc and are looking to buy one of the about! My advice is ride them and buy the ones you like you don't have to justify the change to anyone

Pictures usually help better to understand why the knee sliders are where they are As you can see its the outer part of the leg that touches down and not actually the knee

200 mile ride today on the bike! Started off at brid for a breakfast which is where one of my mates told me he is under the thumb and has to be home by 1.30 to pick his wife up Which meant I couldn't do the plans that I wanted to do! From there we ended up going to look at bikes at Barrie Robson Motorcycles in York from there we headed to seaways for a brew and to let my mate go home and attach himself to the ball and chain We then ended up in Grimsby looking at more bikes

@Gerontious and @fastbob I have made a change and put the message link on the bottom Let me know if you would prefer that or the three dots labelled more The three lines at the top right do the same as the more button

Take some lube with you!!! PS you haven't changed the front sprocket size have you?

I'm not sure what reviews you're reading or what year bike you are looking at but I have yet to see anyone complain about the RT for touring on The storage is plenty and could easily do 10 day tours on it with ease We did 5 days in wales in scorching hot weather last year and the only complaint was that it was way too hot to be riding when coming back! it was the hottest day of the year mind! saw highs of 32°c The trip to and from Wales was around 220 miles and no sore arse for either of us and the wife prefers this to that FJR I had previous The only way to be sure is to take one for a ride I suppose

evening! Happy star wars day! May the 4th be with you..........

My feet probably wouldn't reach the steel toecaps

Hi and welcome to the forum If it was my money I would be looking at he r1200rt rather than the K16 I always wanted the K16 but after speaking to owners who have had both the K and the RT the RT was better suited to me for plodding about and exploring. The K16 is more suited to sitting on the motorway all day long

And relax!! Hectic weekend this week! Loads of alcohol and food Mates wedding that I was best man at! I think I am broken! Work tomorrow for a rest

Hi and welcome to the forum If you have a class A entitlement with no restrion codes next to it then you will be able to ride anything If you're unsure then post a picture of the back of your licence and someone can confirm it for you

Yeah they have made it from China to the UK which is already too far

Hi and welcome to the forum The law is to not go over the solid white line so providing you are on your side of it you are OK

Hi @Abi and welcome to the forum

We don't normally allow these sorts of adverts without some sort of payment but I will make an exception Don't forget to promote us too

I wish I could but the actual LED light is sealed These are what they look like

Seat heights for the GS 800 / 820mm - Low Suspension Kit (Option) 790 / 810mm - Low Front Seat (Accessory) incl. Low Suspension Kit (Option) 820 / 840mm - Low Suspension Kit (Option) incl. Black Seat (Option) 840 / 860mm - Low Suspension Kit (Option) 890 / 910mm - Standard Seat 880mm - Low Rallye Seat (Accessory) 900mm - High Rallye Seat (Accessory) Seat height for the RT 760/780mm - Low Seat (Option/ Accessory) 805/825mm - Standard Seat 830/850mm - High Seat (Option/ Accessory)

Which is odd as every GS I have had a sit on they are far taller than the RT even the low ones Was the seat height adjuster put on the lowest setting too as well as having the low seat?
