As for the switchgear, it's just a switch! Who cares where it is? It should be possible to find the flasher and horn in milliseconds, not seconds. That's why the standard Japanese switches are safer. However, BMW's self-cancelling indicators are a great safety feature. My instructor on a day's adva...

"It's illegal to insure a vehicle twice ". No it's not. You can insure anything several times. But as insurance is a means to indemnify oneself against loss, one may claim only up to the loss of the market or agreed value. So double insurance is double the premium for no extra benefit. If ...

Since I'm a serial monogamist (bikewise), I don't have a "fleet", but in approximate chronological order since 1969, these have been my sickles: Lambretta Cento, BSA 250 CI5 SS80, BSA A10 650, Triton 650, BSA A65T, BMW R75/5, Trident T150V, Honda 550 F1/F2 (3 off), AJS 250 Stormer, Sunbeam...

If only it were chain drive, I could put on a bigger front sprocket!

I rarely have more than one bike in the garage. When I rode off-road, I would have a road bike and an enduro bike. Once (in 1976) I even had three: a CB550F1, an AJS 250 Stormer MX and a Sunbeam S7 with a Steib chair. But I never had two bikes at once that serve the same purpose. That may change... ...

Thanks for the replies. If you respondents have R1100S bikes, do you have 4,000rpm @ 80mph too?

I've had my R1100S for a month and 600 miles, and am growing to like it. I'm pleasantly surprised by how smooth the gear change is. The bike is an '03 yellow/grey 11S. The logbook says it's a standard bike, but I think it may be a "Sport" as it has a wider back wheel and Laser pipes. (I lo...

Hi everbody! I've just joined. I've just bought a 2003 R1100S in yellow & grey. It has a black engine but silver pots, yellow wheels, fat back tyre, Laser exhaust and a bronze double-bubble screen. 12 years old, only 15K miles, and looks like new! I've done about 600 miles on it to acclimatise, ...
