Two knee operations plus hip and shoulder shots with therapy as a result of an accident last December have cut my miles way way down this year. Glad I bought the light weight Kymco 300i. Spending time on the Iron Butt Member Forum figuring out my National Parks Tour for next year.

Ah yes, memories from my childhood in Weymouth. I remember those things from trips to Nantasket Beach. Didn't stop the fun, though.

That's a proven fact. Read it on the Internet. :D Welcome to the gang RD

Hey Charles, Yeah you're right, interesting story. Does the "random" check oil light go off by itself? I know the oil level sensor is very sensitive on the 2013 model.

I originally got into this maxi scooter category as a result of seeing a Tmax and thinking how much I liked the look and practicality. Problem was it didn't fit me nearly as well as the CGT. And I thought the C600 was a little tight for me also. But the other day I was at my BMW dealer and sat...

I have, almost. After getting on the bike I was riding at the time (KLR) someone came up to talk to me. Being the easily distracted guy that I am, it would have happened except that the side stand scraped in the gravel I was on as I started to take off. Not sure what that says about my brain...

Sounds like you are expert enough to me. The cynical side of me would suggest that there are those manufacturers that require over spec'd maintenance to help dealer profits as much as to maintain the vehicle. Other members of this forum have worked at dealers and would have a better handle on...

Looks great with the color of your bike, too!

Hey David, Is your bike still under warranty? Have you tried estimates from any local non-BMW repair shops? That does seem pricey.

I'm assuming you mean that in a negative way.;). I mean, after all there are those that..... Butt seriously (sorry), I can't even remember if I did a walk around with the bike running during the test drive or on the day I bought it and don't remember when I first noticed one bulb. Like...

Looks like a Kaoko competitor. Maybe better. The Excel Throttle Control website is a pretty good one. http://www.excelthrottlecontrol.com/index.htm

Great pictures, Sean (except for maybe the last one:D).

I agree with your "rant" Tony (I hope you feel better.:D). The new daytime running lights on the c650 look so cool you would have thought the one lamp low beam configuration would have been changed.

Gosh, yah think maybe he liked it a little?;)

Well, PoHo, I think it is admirable that you take responsibility for killing your battery via "death by phone charging". ;) I wonder, however, if you might be a little too hard on yourself. 4yrs is not too bad.

Hey Bob, I can sure understand moving to the CGT as your bike of choice, but, yeah, the GS is a great bike. Sounds like a UMV is made for you. Post some pictures and first impressions when you get a chance. Steve

Welcome to the gang, Bob. Looking for stuff to add is fun for sure. If you haven't thought of it yet, you might want to consider a Kaoko throttle lock if touring is on the agenda.

So he says to you, "Colin, the only thing you could find to save my life was a jock strap? What about a bra? Or maybe a pair of panties? But a jock strap? C'mon man. Please tell me you had to tear it out of its new jock strap package!......What do yah mean you just wanted to save my life? And...

Ain't that the truth. And I don't really get it. I wonder, if it's because other parts of the world have a higher scooter to motorcycle ratio (made that up and have no idea if it's true) and therefore the big scoots are looked at as a step up in those places and here in the "Harley" nation...

Ha...Yeah, you're right. There can be exceptions.
