becksy .... Well I understand better ..... 7 hours west of London, at the speed that the earth turns, and your prolly not going to have that problem as it is very dry here ..... I do my own laundry and it has been raining and hailing here in Colorado and even this morning a little rain and I put my wet pants out in my rather small house (5 pairs) and they were very wearable this morning.

Zitat von paleolithictech im Beitrag #31 Way back, I used to work at a company in Southeast PA that build equipment for hydroelectric dams. On occasion, the on-site project managers from out west would visit the home office. All the green and grass would freak some of them out. They thought they were in the jungle.

I have the 19" tinted V-stream with a Puig 6320 clear clip on deflector. With custom bar risers, I dont need wind blast to keep a comfortable touring position. The deflector is quick disconnect for sportier rides, but I prefer it for reducing helmet buffeting and to minimize bugsplat on my face shield. Heat is no issue for me on the RS as I came from an F800GT which throws copious amounts of heat, cooking the rider's left thigh. |

Zitat von Chug im Beitrag #33 I owned two different F800GT's. I thought they were neat bikes, even if down on power. But the wind noise from that OEM screen...I almost stopped on a 150-mile ride in the mountains and uninstalled it to throw it into a 1000-foot deep canyon. It gave me a bad headache. Tried different screens and deflector combos...no help. If not for that, I might still be riding one of those. Heat on the F800GT never bothered me, but then I wasn't tooling around in the city at all. |

Zitat von paleolithictech im Beitrag #29 Definitely check out the pinlock solutions that your helmet supports - it's a life changer. I ride year round including winter and that little insert made a huge difference. No fogging or shield cracking at all and in the worst cold/damp conditions if fitted properly it will endure 45-60mins before you need to fiddle a little to defog it. I keep it year round JIC.

@Mr. 36654 I did order replacement grommets from the local dealer on Mar 5 and they still haven't arrived although I've been told the order was acknowledged by BMW and 'is in the works'. So I got a bit tired and ordered them from Morton's BMW in Spotsylvania (where I used to get my bikes serviced) and they arrived four days later so well worth the $7.20 shipping. |
