I use it & it's extremely effective. Even when stationary, the visor is so slick that gravity is sufficient to pull the droplets right down. The one thing that I've noticed is that very fine droplets can accumulate, such as when following a large truck - the fix is to simply look left or right a...

If I modify the filler assembly to get an extra litre of fuel capacity, wouldn't that affect the charcoal canister? I always thought the can's purpose was to capture overfill, no? Then again, as a daily 50 mi. commuter I really like the idea of maximum mileage between fillups - maybe I should just d...

Well there's my problem. I thought I had 3/10th of a gallon to go! Definitely won't let THAT happen again.

Thanks for the slap upside the head...

Yours truly...is an idiot

Could have been worse, and I found out EXACTLY what my mileage envelope is on a tank of gas. Ran out of gas on the superslab last night at 240 miles on the tank (only 5 miles from my intended fill-up), but luckily my sainted mother was able to run out with a gascan and rescue me. Luckily I was withi...

I tried searching out "air filter" in the search box and got nearly 1500 results, and after scrolling through 5 pages of posts not related to air filters in any way, I decided to run for help... In short, what's the procedure for removing/replacing the air filter? Do I actually have to lif...

...by a seriously inattentive driver. 10 mph maybe, signalling right with my turn signal AND hand signal. Moved over to the left side of my lane to sweep into the cycle parking lot (it's sort of a right turn into a sidewalk cutout, progressing into a U-turn heading the opposite direction from traffi...

But but... I've just gotten back into riding my '02 beak on a regular basis, commuting 50+ miles per day, and when I'm walking up to the bike after work, I'm still struck by how damn beautiful the thing is. It really is a modern classic, still getting lots of comments/attention. Still looks new. I'm...

Just kidding

Just wanted to say it's good to be back here. Anyone in the Central PA region who wants to ride and help me shake the cobwebs out, just fire off a message.

Be well, and do good work...

Well, I'm back to commuting 50m/day after an unsuccessful 2-year stint with self-employment. My '02 R has been sitting for most of this time on a float charger in the unheated garage. My local BMW place wants quite of bit of $$ to do the 'scheduled maintenance' that I've missed, and I'm curious to k...

Unemployed and have to do this while job hunting. When you weigh your home against a bike, well, the home's alot heavier. 2002 r1150r, black w/tan seats. Pristine with ~14,000 mi. on her. Not many accessories except for clear signal lenses and a new Z6 on the rear. Oh, I put in a new gel battery and...
