    Hanging up the helmet.

    My GT is gone. I sold it to a niece older fellow from Ventur, CA. We just loaded it onto his trailer and he headed South. I really enjoyed that scooter but since I'm only running around town with my longest rides are only 40 or 50 miles locally I don't need such a large scooter. I pick up a nice...

    Looks like it's getting close to the time to hang up my helmet.

    Old age is a bummer! At 76 my arthritis is becoming more than an annoyance. Two weeks ago I made a short trip, about 120 miles in total and the next day my right wrist was on fire for two days. I've ridden 62 years now started with a Cushman scooter and had quite a bunch of different motorcycles...

    Fuel flap cover

    I had to replace the fuel filler flap on my '13GT due to some clumsiness on my part. I managed to hit it with my foot on dismounting when it wasn't quite locked down. A new style flap from the local BMW shop cost me $86.00, stiff but then its a BMW part which aren't known for low prices. The...

    GS911 diagnostic code reader WIFI, Bluetooth, USB

    I decided I just couldn't part with my GT so I'll be keeping the code reader.

    Gonna keep her!

    I had my 2013 GT posted on Craigslist and got a real response today. The fellow had the cash but I kinda convinced him the bike was too tall for him and he decided he'd look for something else. Yes, I copped out. I just couldn't sell this scooter when it came down to it. I'd spent a half hour...

    Replacing rear fairing side panel

    Anyone ever changed the rear fairing side panel? Mine got scarred from a loose shopping cart. I have a replacement but can't seem to find a way to get at the fasteners to change it. Do you have to remove the under seat storage liner?

    BMW scooter engines go airborne.

    Looks like the BMW C series engine is being used in several other vehicles including a two seat quadcopter. http://newatlas.com/workhorse-surefly-helicopter-range-extended-electric-quadcopter/49866/

    My GT is boring!

    My GT is boring and that's the way I like it! It's been perfectly reliable for the past four years, needed a couple recalls but other than those it just goes and goes. I don't have a lot of mileage on mine, about 10K, but it's mostly the worst kind, lots of short trips and stop and go. Looks...

    Oil change

    I did another oil change on my '13 GT yesterday and gotta say that job is more of a PIA than any of the other bikes I've owned including the B650 and Silverwing scooters. Of course a scooter is a bit more awkward than most motor cycles due to being closer to the ground so I guess that's part of...

    Forget the Tesla and all other electric cars, Mercedes has a breakthrough!

    Mercedes now has all the other electric cars whipped! No more expensive battery changes. No slow recharging either. http://sundown.me.uk/technology/mercedes-aa-class.mp4

    Spent an hour digging out the driveway

    We got a record dump of that white stuff on us these past two days. I spent an hour just clearing out my short but wide driveway. I though all that was done once I got to Southern Oregon. No scooter riding this week, hard enough to get around in the AWD Equinox with all the damp ice on the road...

    Parking brake needed adjusting

    The other day I just happened to push back my scooter with the kickstand down and noticed the parking brake was slipping. It took a few turns on the adjuster to get it back to normal. Since the pads on the parking brake don't wear and the rear disk still measures it's original thickness I can...

    New Corbin seat

    Thought I'd post a picture of the new Corbin seat on my GT. Looks pretty good to me. I gained about an inch of legroom and a more comfortable seat besides the appearance. Yester day I took a ride of about 100 miles with no discomfort which is more than I can say about my OEM. I like the feel of...

    Lubed the center stand

    Funny how these things creep up on a person. I've had a bit of difficulty rocking my scooter off the center stand lately and getting it back up on the stand so have been parking in in the garage on the kickstand. I finally got around to putting the bike on the lift and lubing the center stand...

    Windshield won't adjust.

    For the second time since I got the bike the windshield won't move. I checked the OBD with my diagnostic tool which showed a fault on the windshield but when I cleared the fault the windshield still won't move. Last time it happened was when it was on warranty so I guess this time I'll find out...

    Dropped my GT two days ago.

    I can't believe I managed to screw up and drop my bike last Tuesday. I was on a steep hill and found the road blocked off. The road was well paved buy pretty narrow with curbs on both sides. Instead of backing the scooter back down a quarter mile or so to an intersection on flatter land I decide...

    Looks like I'm going to have to sell a rifle and a OEM GT seat.

    I have severe wants for a Corbin seat on my GT. I've had their seats on several bikes an all of them have been very comfortable. I just priced out a black leather one with red stitching including plug in ready heating. It's a bit pricey, $650 but would be more worth it to me than an exhaust slip...

    Saw a 650 Sport at my dealer's today.

    I had my GT in the shop today to get the brake line recall done and saw the new 650 Sport there. Interesting, it would have been more informative for me if I were more familiar with the Sport. I wish the color on the Sport was available on the GT. I liked the latches for the glove boxes, much...
