Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Nice.. as a bike novice, is there much adjustment available for the seat/pegs/handlebars etc, so that different size bikerists fit comfortably? Yep BMW are pretty good at that sort of thing. There’s official bar riser accessory and 4 different style/height of seat available, and each seat has a hig...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
So yesterday was New Bike Day. I took my 12 year old daughter Evalyn along with me as she loves riding pillion. It's a 1hr 10 ride to my preferred BMW Motorrad dealer in the deepest bandit country of Suffolk, but what a lovely day for it. There was a bit of faffing with DVLA/BMW computer system to g...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement
The fact the tool has turned off replies unless he follows you has backfired somewhat. 320 quote-tweet so far, and they're all pretty golden.

https://x.com/thenorthernlad7/status/1699456507497136426?s=46&t=SUoANWv2-_o1W4X4vHqmfw I cannot understand why anyone would undertake a vehicle that is indicating left. Quite. If you scroll down the comments a bit, the guy says he thought he was turning left further on. So, idiot cyclist makes ...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement
prolly because typing "speeding" is quicker than "riding at a speed which is unsuitable for the conditions and/or type of road" and handily provokes further ill-will among keyboard specialists.

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement
https://twitter.com/MikeyCycling This guy seems nice. Yeah, he's already known to be a bell. As for your previous posts addressed to me: you're not on Twitter now ;) I'm not judging anything; the social media person will not have made something up, so they only shared online some basic details of w...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement
However, delivering a word of advice: such as 'you're not breaking the law' and then publicly announcing this fact is not going to achieve anything at all except justified ridicule. You're judging the officer(s) involved against what some social media twonk in the comms dept has posted. Like I said...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement
You're making an assumption to try and prove a point and further an argument. Have you tried Twitter? You might like it. You don't know what the officer said to them. I very much doubt they rattled past with the B&T going, handbraked to a halt and had them all up against the wall for "break...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement
Also I doubt it was an actual serving traffic officer who made that tweet. It'll be some kid in the social media dept churning it out, without any thought.

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement
Courtesy and restraint should be a hall mark of all road users. It's not hard. Yes, including traffic police who should not stop people who aren't breaking the law. Good way to lose respect :lol: I disagree with you there. Useful words of advice delivered in an appropriate way does no harm in my vi...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement
The problem with that tweet is, it doesn't give enough context, and the fact it's a tweet on the most polarised anonymous tribal hell-scape. They were never to get a bunch of replies supporting it because the people who are capable of using all parts of their brain, being pragmatic about a situation...

About 35kgs! It's the same engine and chassis, but the GS is the "Adventure" bike with off-road capabilities, lighter, bit more upright riding position. The same but different. My RT: https://i.imgur.com/8oy84xz.jpg What my GS will look like: https://i.imgur.com/mEQmSNL.png This is me on a...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
I've had my R1250 RT two weeks short of 4 years, and it really is the best bike in the world. But 7 years on RTs I was starting to think a change might be nice. What's the second best bike in the world? Well an R1250GS TE Triple-Black, of course: https://i.imgur.com/qZoBO1y.jpg https://i.imgur.com/l...

Re: The House Projects Thread
That all sounds horribly stressful. People are weird. They'll be Freemans of the Land or something next, no doubt. Good luck, 40k is a fuck load of money to fight stupidity (and also sounds horribly familiar).
