  1. I think I will go with the BMW XR Tour when time for change is due. It's a bit smaller than the GT, and this should suit my stature and age.
  2. Read an article about a recall for newer BMW's with flashing brake lights. Not legal apparently in the US.
  3. Was told the map is not needed if the header pipes arn't changed, acro headers are larger dia ,better overall flow.
  4. BMW Au. BMW Motorrad Australia Configurator ...
  5. 22k for an XR Tour, fully optioned, but no panniers.
  6. 20k aud, about the same as the tracer Gt in Australia.
  7. Priced a white one online today and was $20K ride away. Facebook owners seem happy so far, even with a few noting a noisy/harsh clutch.
  8. AAMI for me @ $441 for $10,500 comprehensive. Went for a ride in my suburb today, pre and post oil change. Police have warned people in our area that fines will apply from now on if a reasonable excuse is not forthcoming. Up to the Police at the time to judge your excuse.
  9. Your bike on an empty street at night.
  10. Ordered HH pads for the front and a TST Industries brake light modulator for an MT09 (hope it fits, as it is plug and play).
  11. Got some black reflective stickers made up (Crooked Cuts Vinyl, in the US). Cant see them during the day.
  12. I use my phone on a Quad Mount and tilt it fwd a bit at the top. Reflects my jacket.
  13. Scorpion here too. Plenty of cheap stock systems around to cut the headers off.
  14. Went around the Dams south of Brisbane. Pics are at Moogerah Dam. Google Maps
  15. I got a packet of M8 plastic screws for aeromodelling, works a treat. [M2 M8] ISO7045 DIN7985 GB818 Nylon Cross Recessed Pan Head Screws Plastic Spacer Phillips Screw NL12|cross recessed|pan head screw|phillips screws - AliExpress ...
  16. Another night on the roads. Nanango to Gympie was heavy fog and I had to wait at Nanango for the servo to open. Rolled over 60K on the way. https://goo.gl/maps/YJvGARcnvH38GH3b8
  17. I put 4 larger holes in the side above the rest of them. It seems to have allowed better breathing in a top gear acceleration .
  18. my 15 has the red key,here in Australia.
  19. Tuesday Ride before we cant go out in groups.
  20. I got one fitted to the rear last change, and came back to the bike with a large chrome cruiser one fitted. Pays to see them before fitment.
  21. Google Maps ... Plenty of Nomads use this area.
  22. Another Morning Run, pic on Hampton - Esk rd. Queensland Australia. https://goo.gl/maps/piN86Xd57HxPdrNF9
  23. Discussing Angel's with a friend the other day and he went with the ST's for better manners than the GT's. Wear was about the same on his Triumph.
