I just checked my NYS Title and it looks like that information is not required; just the VIN number (which is stamped into the frame). If you have the bill of sale, that information is most likely recorded there. Otherwise, I'm afraid you have some plastic removal in your future...

I have been looking into a Ural for YEARS. Since my wife has difficulty climbing up on to the K1200LT these days I've been seriously considering replacing it with a Ural Patrol or Gear Up. Sadly, the closest dealer is across the bridge, although there is an authorized service center in...

Next week in beautiful Lake George, NY. I'll be there the whole week, and I'll be on Snoopy. Anyone else going? We'll be staying in nearby Lake Luzerne... right by the Painted Pony where the Americade "Dirt Daze" festivities take place. http://www.americade.com/ This year BMW WILL be there...

Based on the attendance this year, I'd be VERY surprised if the club holds the rally again next year. Very sad... this used to be a GREAT rally, and I can remember over 500 people in attendance. The old crowd is dying off, and the youngsters aren't into organized motorcycling events... I got...

Well, I'm here but it looks like not many decided to brave the rain today.

Well, this Memorial Day Weekend is the 28th Annual Charter Oak Rally. I'll be heading up Friday morning but I think this year I'll use the K1200LT and use the C650GT for Americade in two weeks' time. Anyone else planning on attending either event? Here's the link for the rally information...

Well well well... it took them long enough but Odyssey FINALLY lists a battery compatible with our scooters. The PC310 will fit, though they advise it is a little shorter than the OEM battery so may require a spacer to fit properly. On Facebook, Tom Cutter (long time BMW riders are VERY...

Yup. The "Floorboard" issue was covered in this thread here so I won't go into it here: http://www.bmw-scooters.com/forum/threads/1604-Snoopy-s-in-the-shop-again?p=16107&viewfull=1#post16107

Well, I was hoping SOMEBODY would've had an answer for me, but it turned out to be a moot point; the local Cycle Gear didn't have any of those valves in stock. So, this morning I headed over the BMW dealer and bought four stems just to have them on hand. The floorboard rubber also arrived today...

Does anyone know if these would fit our wheels? https://www.cyclegear.com/gear/bike-master-90-degree-valve-stems

Replaced Snoopy's front tire and installed a new valve stem last night. On the test ride we heard a "clicking" noise coming from the front end. My friend said I should check it so I got on the bike and noticed a red flashing triangle on the dash indicating low air pressure. Turns out the...

I'm thinking that MAYBE I should use some RTV Black on them to supplement those little nubs. That stuff should hold the pads in place, but still allow me to remove them when I need to access what is below them (like for checking the oil or whatever else BMW decided to hide under them). What...

Information here: http://www.crvbmw.org/pages/rally.asp Registration information here: http://www.crvbmw.org/webImages/Rally_Reg_Form_2017.pdf I do this rally every year. It's my "Kick-off" to riding season.

There were a LOT of those 10-15 mph hairpins on VERY steep up and downhills. Had to keep shifting around to get a good line of sight through each one. Surprised I only tore up the right side rubber, I'm pretty sure the left side was getting a good workout too. I remember when I first got the...

I just added my own two cents to that post. Pretty much what I wrote in a previous post.

17 inch tires??? I wonder if the Wall Street Journal would be interested in hiring a motorcycling editor...

Took Snoopy on a Poker Run yesterday. Compared to the bikes with which I was riding, what I lacked in acceleration I more than made up for in turning ability. That, plus I was never in "the wrong gear" for some of the steep, gnarly hairpins we found ourselves on was wonderful. Unfortunately...

Well, Snoopy is back home and in the garage. The mechanic pointed out that they probably SHOULDN'T'VE passed it for inspection because the front tire was so thin, but they put a sticker on anyway because they didn't tell me about that the first time. Just as well, I can do the tire myself for...

On my old bikes, it was easy to figure out how a fork seal could get torn. Road debris chipping away at the exposed forkleg would cause a rough area to form and it if was low enough on the leg it would be conceivable that the seals would eventually get abraded by that rough patch. HOWEVER on...

I miss Indianapolis. I hope they get MotoGP back again some day. I'll even make the trip for World Superbike. I've no interest in auto racing, unfortunately, but I did attend EVERY round of the MotoGP while it was there. Awesome facility and nice city. I even rode my scooter there the last...
