Re: 190/50/17 on a 5.5 inch rim....Certain death??

Here in Spain , that tyre would be classified as illegal, as it is not "As built".

Re: 190/50/17 on a 5.5 inch rim....Certain death??

Regardless of the wrong size rim / tyre , here in Spain its one of the things always checked by ITV and Guardia Traffico , tyre size ! What ever the correct tyre size was for the bike, when manufactured, is the tyre that must be on the bike . I'd personally not use such a big tyre, the profile will ...

Re: Loz got Robbed

This makes me really angry to read !!! I'm speaking from experience here , as an ex cop , the police today are really not interested in this sort of crime. No one was hurt, no one is out of pocket (except the owner and insurance ) so its easy to brush the stat under the carpet. There is no more poli...

Re: I'm shocked !

Looking good Gerry, the move to Spain seems to have worked out well for you. Just been for short blast on my 660 to try out some adjustable fork caps, surprisingly chilly in Devon. Al. Yes thanks Al, my COPD has not deteriorated at the speed I was in UK, since being here 2017 to now, I've barely ch...

Re: I'm shocked !

A bit more pensioner antics , on one of my other bikes ! I'm afraid this one brings out the hooligan, on the twisties in this part of Spain , i seem to be challenging the tyres. I think the next set of tyres will have to be seriously "Sport" rated .... Last weekend , I had a big slide ... ...

I'm shocked !

In January this year, I finally officially joined the OAP ranks !! :shock: Some how, with what I've done in my life, I kinda never ever believed I'd reach this milestone !!! Fortunately, despite contracting COPD, the weather here in Spain is kind to me, and my lungs are not a big issue. I'm still po...

Re: For Sale. 2000 R1100S

Thanks Gerry. Wise words. Must admit, bit surprised at no interest shown, guess the market is a bit odd at the moment. I was hoping for bike to go to a fellow enthusiast and will probably keep it in the garage until that time! Just refresh ad here from time to time :roll: Cheers! Phil. Phil, I symp...

Re: Another 'old' boy returns

In my opinion , you are always welcome no matter what you ride ! A genuine band of bike enthusiasts will never be stuck up or snobbish, in my opinion ! However , I have detected some very strange folks out there who consider themselves elite . But that's their problem, I've been riding more than 50 ...

Re: For Sale. 2000 R1100S

Good luck, and I hope you get a decent price for yours. Mine was in nowhere as pretty a condition as yours, I eventually dropped the ads, and am just carry on using mine, fortunately no health issues. However, apart from a dozen wheel kicker time wasters, the best offer I had was £1400, so you can i...

Re: Wanted - rack & hard luggage for an R1100s

I'm open to offers, but living in Spain , it maybe difficult to get it to you.

Alternatively , ride over here , we fit them and you ride back .

Re: What real speed ???

80mph on your speedo is probably around 75-76mph on a satnav (true speed) Go back out with a satnav or phone with suitable app - and do an indicated 60mph. Read the Satnav steady speed in km/hr and multiply that by 4/3. I reckon you will be around 121-122 km/hr. Thanks Al , hopefully the guys who c...
