Congratulations @Fozzienow you won't have to work.

Do you get a parking space in your name.. 

Apparently, the GS is the best selling bike the world over.

Am I breaking the rules for riding a BMW GS at 25? or is the 800 series allowed..

You're only allowed if you have a beard, and don't rev over 4k... 

I look at my local BMW used stock at least twice per week, now that I'm old enough.

Just can't raise the reddies....

Hi @Raccoon and welcome to the forum.

You've done a good thing coming here, you'll get lots of advice. 

I would stop fretting and just get along to chat with a motorcycle training agency, they'll put your mind at ease and advise on the correct approach. 

A course will involve lots of practice in car parks so you get used to a bike, which is actually the main hurdle to get over. Then when you're ready, they'll take you on the road. 

Maybe grab a push bike and start using that on the road, just pick the quietest time in your area. 

Good morning

That's incredible service. 

Looks like they might need turning 90 degrees, so the green arrows point down, and the crease in the armour folds around your hip?? 

That's a guess, of course. 

Hi Stephen, welcome to the forum. 

Whip the tank off, pop off the carb's and give those idle jets a clean.....

WTF? 

Took 90 minutes to get the tank off, 89 of those minutes were spent trying to disconnect the fuel sender. 

Strewth, even the air box was a bitch. 

Anyhoo, now what? 

I have a feeling I'll be putting it back together to take to the mechanic. 

That second option looks pretty good.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "Sticky" please ?

A post that stays at the top of the group, for reference.

So many possible replies to that, must not......  

Whatever you're thinking, it's all true

35 years later, it would be quite different

My last entry of the tour. I hope it has been of interest to some of you, or at the very least an insight of other peoples travels and maybe something useful. 

 

I used the following Hotels. 

Hotel Revotel 41-43 Raymond Poincare. Nancy. Clean and with a secure private underground garage. 10min walk to the main square, plenty of restaurants and bars. 

Hotel Geiger Ulferstrabe 18 Hopfen am See. Fussen. A spa Hotel, great food and secure parking undercover. Restaurants and bars on the door step but quiet. 

Hotel Restaurant Cigogne 4 Place du marche Munster, nice, clean and simple, with a secure private garage. Centre of Town which was very quiet. 

Logis Hotel Au Tambour 60-63 Rue de Maneux Reims. Quiet location with Private secure garage, short walk to centre, nice clean rooms, simple again. 

 

au revoir  

 

Excellent stuff.

Would make a good "sticky" 

As a "white van man" in my 20's, I would often take my girlfriend out with me, and I can confirm, ending up positioned where  one shouldn't be, is easily done 

That's absolutely frickin gorgeous!

Despite the price tag, the bike is better value than the watch......

You're flying through, excellent news.

I could be wrong, but I'm sure I read....

LG invented and manufacture all OLED screens.

Samsung tried something similar (QLED).

I would think Apple not only want reliability, but they wouldn't want to climb into bed with LG. I can't imagine the demand for screens to Apple could even be met.

Just an edumacated guess really.

Just got the road tax for my wife's automobile.....£20! 

 

I'll have to pay it monthly.

 

£1.75 a month. I think I can scrape that together.

What is it?

Must be electric?

It's a pity that Britain is such a small market compared to the rest of the world. 

I'm assuming that's why there's so little support for Chinese brands in the UK. 

Better support would mean more choice and less risk if buying into a Chinese brand. 

My car is Japanese, but my pickup is Ssangyong, which is a Korean brand that's been in the UK for a couple of decades, but support is still poor. Thank goodness it's so reliable. 

I consider any manufacturer of motorcycle if the support was available. 

Welcome to the forum Billy 

I'd be inclined to go west. 

Use the old A40 out to the Cotswolds, quite a straight route, but then you have the glorious ride up the middle of Wales. 

Good morning

Evening all! Decided for lolz to see what my new bike insurance damage would be if I still lived in London (and my actual for ref...fully comp only difference is the postcode) Man I love Norfolk

I'm assuming that, at that price, Bennetts were going to have someone stand guard over the bike each night...... 

Good afternoon
