Re: 1st trip of '24

Hi Steve, are you doing the NC500 clockwise (heading up West side of Scotland) and coming back down the east side? Thing is, Mrs Big Rob & I are booked with our van on the Black Isle from 10th to 14th June with our 2 Dogs. I'd love a "valid" reason to ride a motorcycle to our chosen l...

Fuel Strikes in France

Apparently there's fuel shortages in France at present, for example 60% of fuel stations in the Paris area are currently out of fuel.

Re: Ex RC8

Thanks Al, the Air Ambulance was on scene within 15 mins and the police and ambulance were by all accounts fantastic, I of course didn't see any of it. I am under no illusion as to how lucky I was with the outcome. Nearly 100k on the 1200S and not a scratch, 10k on the RC8 and this is the end resul...

Re: Europe tour advice

Last time we used the Peage I just used my bank card no need to input the pin it just read it and away, that was 2019 I dare say that they’ve been upgraded by now to contactless.

The HP2s is ‘special’…………. Been threatening to sell mine for last couple of years, now - as I just seldom get a chance to ride it. Now - all standard apart from the HP4 mirrors. Think the mileage is still below 6k and still qualifies for BMW warranty, I believe. I guess you have ridden one before, ...

Re: Europe tour advice

useful item from my trip last September was to get a toll tag for the autoroute, saved so much hassle. I used Bip & Go in the sleeve pocket of my BMW jacket
