in reply to: BMW K1600LT on its way #12844
It's a step too far for me. Too big for NZ roads, just like all the other mega cruisers. Besides, it's ugly.

in reply to: Bluetooth Solutions #13117Yep, love my Scalarider. Good sound quality from the FM radio, good comms between helmets (up to at least 300 metres), good reception with my bluetooth cellphone.Hoo roo
in reply to: Chch Service #13533The guys at Jeff Grays are nice guys, but lack the experience on the big twins.Jimmy at Bavarian Motorcycle Services is a BMW Motorrad trained mechanic. He's a sarcastic bugger, but great to deal with.Try him. We get our work bikes done at Jeff Grays becuas the lease says we have to. If we had a choice, Jimmy would be servicing them.Ka kitePete
in reply to: Helmet Intercom #5005Nope on the Gen 4, but the Scala Rider set I have (bluetooth) eats the Baehr set on my work helmet. So much so that I've now got a CARDO headset in my sries 5 helmet in addition to the Baehr set the employer makes me use.Just my experience.Ta ra.

in reply to: Shinko 705 #12435These things are trash. Mine delaminated too. The money is being refunded, but that doesn't help when you are in Twizel with the nearest replacement in Christchurch.
in reply to: System 6 Helmet #12142The BMW helmets are already silly prices.
in reply to: Sunday ride & track days, crashing etc. #7416Nice counter-steer in the second pic. Good technique.
in reply to: new member #10718Randomly, I have lived in Belmont, Takapuna, Devonport, Glenfield and Sunnynook.This was all pre Madass, I have lived down here for a few years.Yup, the MAdass is just the beasty for cruising to Sierra Coffee in Hurstmere Rd.
in reply to: new member #10715Can't believe you gave up a Sachs MadAss to ride the 650. The MadAss is fun factor, if not the coolest bike on 2 wheels.I had an 800ST, it had serious cool factor, but looked a bit too metrosexual for me. I don't wax my legs, so the 800 had to go.Ka kite a popo.
in reply to: Funny noise in a 1200RT #11560Okay, just back from the doctors.The loud bang was a backfire, although it sounded like it came from the engine, not the exhaust. The wheezing arose because the backfire blew the fuel injector out. Yes, BLEW THE FUEL INJECTOR OUT.So the RT is back on the road, all I have to do now is wonder when it will happen again.Sigh.
in reply to: Funny noise in a 1200RT #11558Yes, company vehicle. Funny, when the bang happened it sounded like a shotgun going off, and everyone in the bust gas station forecourt ducked for cover !!
in reply to: Funny noise in a 1200RT #11555……………….other than to learn of The quark epoch. Possibly related to the spark plug, but I'm not sure.Ho hum, interplanetary mechanics.
