Re: My other bike needs a good polishing......

Is that a Turbo saddle I spy? : Yup ... It's more uncomfortable than I remember but (1) I was in my 30's when I used that saddle originally and now I'm nearly in my 60's and (2) I was hoping that was because I haven't got around to getting some proper shorts yet... I could do 7 and 8hr days on that...

Re: exhaust gasket substitute

You can get universal exhaust ring type gaskets but without the "ears " for the studs/ bolts and I'm not sure what carriage charges to you would be..

Re: clutch line bleed

As above, remove the screw from the bleed extension pipe , remove cable ties securing pipe , drop the extension pipe down away from paint work, behind this screw is a spring loaded ball , it can be done without a bleed nipple , just press the spring loaded ball and fluid / air will exit under pressu...

Hi, has anybody fitted an R1150 RT wheel to an R1100 s non ABS? They look the same wheel, I had no confirmation from BMW Motorwerks in Holmfirth, and the wheel looks the same with the studs for the disc? Should I have any concerns? Thanks in advance Chris A 5.5" or 5" rim will obviously f...

Re: Anyone been for a ride yet?

Different Jurisdiction, not due for non essential travel release until July 20th assuming everything goes to plan .

The resolution/ clarity on the black 12S probably isn't as good as the lighter coloured 11S but the only other printed mug I have to compare at the moment is an Enfield version with only one bike back and front so obviously a larger im...

I've just received my mug and christened it while wondering if I should have placed it in quarantine ... I guess the clothing will take a bit longer .

Re: Mallory Park 1990

A full race rotary engine is something else alright. Locally the only time I'd ever get to hear a rotary was when some mad rally driver fitted a Mazda version to a MK11 Ford Escort or RWD Toyota Starlet. .
