It's also my "Winter Commuter" since the Zero doesn't take well to below-freezing temperatures. The C650GT has far better weather protection along with the heated saddle and grips.

That's right. Four years ago I brought "Snoopy" home for the first time. He doesn't QUITE have 30K miles on him yet; ever since I got the Zero my mileage on my two gas-engine bikes have gone WAAAY down... but he's still hanging in there for those times when the K1200LT is "overkill" and the...

That might also explain the fork seal leak from earlier this year. It just got "old."

Good questionl. I'm not sure. I'll have to give mine the old "bounce test" when I think of it. I'm closing in on 30K miles so I may be due now...

Basically, when you order the shock you give them all the information they need to make sure it is set up for you (and your passenger if applicable). You shouldn't HAVE to do too much more adjustment other than swtiching from "with passenger" to "without passenger." If you set up "with...

This is something I've been thinking about. At Americade I checked with Ohlins, and they were (unfortunately) able to verify that they do NOT have a shock for this bike. However, another company held in high regard by BMW riders everywhere is Wilbers... and they DO have a shock for our...

Interesting. I was doing a Google search and only came up with one company who had protective covers listed, but currently "out of stock." Thanks for this pointer. The only one we could LEGALLY used in the US would be the clear version. They ship from Taiwan so they indicate if I ordered now...

I asked them about a headlight cover for the C650GT and was told they only had a C650GT long enough to produce either a windshield or a headlight cover and Paige decided there would be more of a market for the windshield. However, I'm thinking if I took a rock in that HUGE headlight lens, it'll...

By the way, while I was out riding on Wednesday (June 7), I came around a bend on Route 9N north of Bolton Landing and saw a panel truck with a big sign displaying "RoadPics.com." Standing next to it was a man behind a camera on a tripod. The next morning I checked into the site and found a...

I'm sure there's a "Check Digit" algorithm (similar to credit cards and VIN) that validate the number and it would be caught immediately.

I had a chance to demo this beast today at Americade. From a quick walk around compared to my C650GT scooter it has far less storage capacity. The majority of the underseat area is the massive battery pack. I was informed it is two cells from the BMW i3 electric automobile. The passenger...

It is an "AND" condition. Time AND distance. If the distance has elapsed too quickly, then the time parameter takes over. If the time period has expired but it hasn't yet traveled the required distance, then the blinkers will not cancel. Everyone mistakenly thinks it is an "OR" condition...

The Roaring Brook activities have been relocated to Fort William Henry which is where MOST of the demo bikes are located. The exceptions are Harley and Yamaha who are down on Beach Road. I didn't get a chance to try the updated C650GT (maybe tomorrow) but I did get to ride the Urban GS and had...

Just saw the BMW display. Looks like alongside the updated C650GT is an eScooter! I wasn't even aware they were selling those here. Conspicuous by its absence is the C650 Sport...

It's raining now. According to the forecast, it should be clearing out by mid week. Fortunately, we rode up here in the sun this morning.

It's Spring in the Adirondacks. it is GOING to rain... The problem is, none of the manufacturers will let you demo ride in the rain... not even the three-wheelers! Wonder how they think most of the people got to Lake George?
