Re: Meet....Bumble!

Yes I guess it's your bike Mike. I was wondering about the story behind the black faces - did you change them? Did you also run the grease line to the swing-arm bushes?[/quote] I never got on with the yellow and black dial faces, so I designed my own in a more classic style. You should have got the ...

Re: Meet....Bumble!

That looks very much like my old bike ... If it has plain black on white instrument faces, it definitely is. I just bought this yesterday. Kids have already nick-named it Bumble for obvious reasons. The engine and box are nicer than the other one and it rides and stops better too. Got a couple of sm...

Stick around, post more - the site may have started with the 1100s (it did, didn't it????), but has evolved and will continue to do so

No, not giving up completely - too addicted for that!

Staying with BMW and going over to the darkside of 4 cylinders and water cooled - a K1300S which might prove a good exercise in self-restraint if I want to keep my license :shock:

Time for a change

Well after 10 great years, it's time for a change. 1100S has gone and all the bits and pieces that have been added over the years are in the For Sale section. I may well regret it and miss the boxer thump, but only time will tell. Although I haven't been a prolific poster :( this has been a great fo...

No, I've done my own black faces but with white lettering rather than yellow http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s414/mikek7/faces2_zpscd597084.jpg No KPH marking, just simple, classic aviator style.

Short answer is - not yet.
I'm just waiting for a new set of dial faces to arrive so I can do the whole lot together. Trouble is that I'm off touring on it in Europe is a couple of weeks, so it might have to wait until I get back.

MotoGP on German satellite channel

If any of you have a satellite receiver and pick up Astra 1 (19.2E) , MotoGP is free to view on Sport 1 (frequency 12480 V SR 27500)
OK, its in German, but its better than nothing. Currently showing qualifying.

sorry, didn't see that Phil Thomas had already spotted this
