    Snoopy's in the shop again.

    Yup. The warranty period expired in July of last year. :(

    Snoopy's in the shop again.

    I brought it in last week for a New York State inspection and discovered the right side fork leg is leaking fluid. They didn't have time to work on it last weekend so I dropped it off on Saturday. :(

    Need Front Tire Torque Specs.

    According to what I see: The bolt holding the caliper to the fork leg needs to be tightened to 28 Nm The clamping screws that hold the axle need to be tightened to 8 Nm The quick release axle itself should be tightened to 30 Nm Those figures are for the C650GT. I'm assuming the same holds true...

    2016 650 GT or 2016 Yamaha T Max ?

    Your legs are two inches longer than mine. You will DEFINITELY fit better on the GT. After a long enough time in the saddle, I started feeling cramped on the TMAX. You can not only stretch your legs farther forward on the Beemer, you can also move them farther back, too.

    2016 650 GT or 2016 Yamaha T Max ?

    For me, check with the customers of your local Yamaha and BMW dealerships and see which ones are happiest. Also, the C650GT has twice the luggage capacity of the TMAX without adding the trunk. It also has anti-lock brakes (which aren't even an option on the TMAX) and you get the better weather...

    2017 Daytona Bike Week

    Oh believe me, it's NOT something you can do easily by the side of the road! It takes pretty major disassembly of the rear of the bike to access the alarm. It took me a little over an hour to do the whole thing and double checking that I put everything back together properly. The 850 lbs...

    2017 Daytona Bike Week

    Well, I had an "adventure" all right, but it had nothing to do with the weather. My K1200LT has a security fob that I need to disable the anti-theft system each time I start the bike. On Saturday morning, I filled my tank in Winter Park, FL and started back north. I stopped for lunch in...

    Larger windscreen for C650GT

    Another option in the States: http://www.laminarlip.com/c650gt.php I used this on my TMAX, and on my Buells and they were pretty effective.

    2017 Daytona Bike Week

    Just saw they say there's a chance of 4 to 6 inches of snowfall back home Saturday night into Sunday morning. This isn't good... Well, I'll get as far north as I can tomorrow and see what happens on Sunday.

    Larger windscreen for C650GT

    I'm looking over it. I think I had this same discussion with someone else in another thread. :)

    Larger windscreen for C650GT

    I'm 5'10" and LOVE my Aeroflow shield. Best thing I've added to the scoot (the Corbin saddle is second).

    2017 Daytona Bike Week

    I'm taking it easy today in Orlando (where I'm staying). I have an 1,100 mile weekend and it isn't looking like the weather is going to be terribly cooperative. In fact, I'm not even sure I'll make it home on Sunday as there is a good chance of snow/freezing rain. I've already notified my...

    2017 Daytona Bike Week

    Had a clear but COLD ride all the way down till I hit the Florida state line. Then the temperatures finally started feeling like Spring except then it started to rain. Rode in and out of the rain all the way to the resort here in Orlando. Arrive Monday evening. Today was chilly and overcast...

    Heading out on the K1200LT shortly. Looks like I'll be arriving wet on Monday.

    2017 Daytona Bike Week

    Cordura and GORE-TEX. Just checked the forecast for the area. Other than showers on the day I arrive, it's looking like a BEAUTIFUL week. Even better, I'll be missing a potential BLIZZARD hitting my area here on Tuesday.

    Thanks to Andy Goldfine, rain hasn't been a problem for me for literally decades. :)

    2017 Daytona Bike Week

    The snow is really coming down outside. If the roads aren't clear on Sunday, or the rest of the route looks "iffy" I may take a pass on riding the K1200LT and put the C650GT on a trailer and do the "unthinkable." Last year when I tried to go to Biketoberfest, Matthew washed out I-95 south of...

    Bug in the forum software?

    Very strange... it seemed to work using Seamonkey in Linux. Oh well...

    Bug in the forum software?

    I received a "Friend Request" but when I attempt to accept it, nothing happens. The little "Notifications" drop down at the top of the screen also never changes. I've accepted friends before, so I don't know what is happening now. Using the latest version of Chrome on Windows7, but the same...
