Whatever BMW call it, it's not exactly cheap.

Nothing to-do with BMW is ever cheap, but then if you want the best 😐  or is it???????  Phil

A relay is a magnetic switch, I suppose that makes it a solenoid.

Without getting to carried away, a relay uses a solenoid to pull in a set of contacts, so therefor is only part of a relay.  Phil 😀

🙄  I had the same trouble with the fuel pump relay on a (Dare I say it)  🙄 Ducati some years back.  None in stock in NZ, and the cost was something like $230.00, so I took the old one to an auto elect. supply shop and they found a replacement, at a cost of about $25.00.  I plugged it in and we were away.  It was still going when I sold the bike some 12 years latter.  “Makes you wonder”  Phil

3 letter boxes along the Thames coast road.  I like the dust bin one means the junk mail is in the right place to start with.  Phil

(quote) “If you do pull the clutch in you may not have much braking at all.” ( Unquote) You should never disengage the motor when going down hill in mud or gravel, you are in danger of locking up the back when you reengage, same applies in a corner. Anyone else like to comment?  Phil

Does anyone have a suggestion for sleeping pillion passengers. Coming up the Southern Motorway I felt this body slump against me and the two helmets hit before my pillion was jolted awake. I'm a little concerned about this and pleased she fell forward instead of to the side. I think I really want to avoid this situation in future.

Don't worry I have never had anyone fall off the back yet.  There has been times when I wish they would 👿  But the thing is would you be charged with having an insecure load 😕  Phil

Sure, it counts. But where is it?

Along the Thames coast on the way to Coromandal Town. Here is 2 more views of the same building
