thanks RantMachine i will see what comes up later this year

i have an old out of date tomtom xl classic and tomtom keep emailing me to tell me they dont support it anymore so i think im goosed with that one will probably have to reinvest

well thats a result

well that should make him sell his kwak and buy a suzy like yours now XT

just plug them back in and see what happens

that looks nice and clean and good colour too

yea its a bit like riding horses there are no brakes on those things

thanks old timer on more info, i looked again last night on the bm forum and seemingly the guy had another forum buddy who lived reasonably close by so he went to have a look and they decided that a short while before he started having elecy problems he had taken it off road and through puddles so there was water in the electrics and just before his mate got there they had dried out, anyway i think i would be looking at the f650gs and even that model some of them are twenty years old and the one i would get will be the 650 single and not the 800 twin

are the blades not in a cage

yea never ending

well enjoy it while it lasted

just to change the subject i have just been looking on the f650 forum and a guy has been struggling with his indicators staying on so he looked behind the dashboard and there is two relays just for the hazard lights, have any of you guys had any electrical problems with your 650 beemers

thanks Tiggie the oil change vid was worth watching thanks

have you heard of the fumoto sump plug no need to take the plug out just turn the lever

FORD TRANSIT

im not too bad for transporting bikes as i have a tranny van

right i have just posted a question on the f650 gs forum about oil changing so see if i get a reply

i have heard that they dont have a sump plug wether that's true im not sure it seems a bit crazy if they don't

that sounds good i might just insure it again when we get back to normality and i might have another one by then

without lights it would be a daytime mot

how long is it before you loose your no claims if you dont insure them as my insurance runs out at the end of next month and im wondering what to do with all this lot going on

Brilliant idea ! I can recommend a BMW F650 single cilinder; they are really 'multi functional allrounders'. I used them for my daily commute (before I retired), ride outs with the Mrs, holidays, biker weekends and occasionally a 'dirt road'. They are not too heavy and not too light. And the 650 single is still strong and fast enough to carry heavy loads and score speed tickets... My first one was a 2002 F650 GS Dakar. My current bike is a 1999 F650 'classic', nicknamed 'Funduro'. Though they are both 'allroads' in the true sense of the word, the Dakar had a bit better off-road qualities than the Funduro or the standard F650 GS. It has a longer front and rear suspension, and a larger front wheel (21 inch) than the standard F650 GS and the Funduro (both 19 inch). They are very durable, I sold my Dakar with 100.000 kms on the clock... No problem. And... and this is not unimportant... they are FUN to ride. On the road and offroad, with or without luggage, with or without pillion...

it could be like watching the purple helmets and the rider with a big tin of beans and with a big trumpet stuck up his fat butt

those beemer singles look a nice bike i might try one sometime

there is a shop called booths not far down the road and they sell all the weird and wonderful named beers like wyre piddle and hob goblin
