After much soul searching and procrastination; I have let go of my Mamola and gone for this little Bavarian Beauty.

She arrived yesterday, so roll on the better weather to get some miles done.

Very nice. Shame about the injured header pipes... When do the bandages come off

Cheers,

Paul

note to self, don't put pictures of my "jungle" on here or Reg will kick my a*se

could that number plate be bigger? It's hard to read!

Yes, Herb, I know. The BMW garage wouldn't put anything else on, so I will change it to something slightly smaller - albeit still legal (hopefully).

Can anyone here tell me if I am allowed to place 3 rows as opposed to 2 on the plate? Therefore making it taller but slimmer.

Hello Reg, good to hear from you again.

Yes, the garden has taken a bit of a hammering lately with our 2 mad dogs.

Yes Mitch, it's the high level Ackrapovic with the baffle removed. Nice sound.

So, do you have any plans to customise/modify your new steed in any way? There seems to be a ton of stuff out on the interweb for owners to personalise their R9T's

Cheers,

Paul

For me, this type of arrangement is more elegant.

To answer your question, 3 line number plates are not allowable, assuming you are staying strictly within the law.

Thanks for that Herb.

Yes, I have seen those type and they are cleaner and less obtrusive. I bought the bike, as you see it, from the dealer but I am giving consideration to making a few changes.

The dealer used Rizoma bling and it's not cheap, although Wunderlich to a more reasonably priced plate holder as per your image.

I will give it a while and see what's best.

"The characters on the number plate must be set out over two lines and must be displayed on all motorcycles registered on or after 1 January 1973."

Thing is everyone of the 5 K100RS's I had from 1985 to 2007 had 3 line vertical plates fitted

Nice one Colin, Do you want to buy a nice new BMW leather jacket to go with it.

Hello Ian, great to hear from you. I think it will still be too big for me pal.

Are you still up in Gods Country?
