    I dropped my Sport off at the dealer (MAX BMW in Portsmouth NH, they are very good), for the brake line recall and a set of tires. I inquired about the hydraulic chain tensioner and if it would could be fitted onto a 2013 Sport. I also suggested that maybe mine should get it as part of the...

    New Tire installation

    It's warmer down here so they are softer. The best milage I have gotten on a notcher was with IRC brand. I got over ten k (miles) on a couple of sets and almost eighteen k on a front. I don't think they held the road as well as the Michelins and were down right slippery when it got cold.

    My GT is boring!

    I am attracted by Moto Guzzi's, and I day dream about having one. Then my daydream goes to the modifications I would have to make so it would suit me, you know, windshield and fairing , floor boards, auto transmission, etc., and it ends up being a notcher like I all ready have. So whats the...

    Oil change

    A piece of cardboard is a lot more cost effective for changing oil, plus gives the opportunity ( unapproved by wife) for a Saturday nap.

    Loosen the mounting bolts slightly and move the seat away from the touch area, then tighten the bolts.
