Hello!

[Warthog]

Very nice looking bike! And just when I'd started using phrases like "bloody kids..." and "back in my day..." I'm now reassured as, despite Beemer ownership and grumpy old geez syndrome, I seem to be one of the younger GS owners: 31 years young, albeit only for another 7 weeks. Excellent, Smithers....

Welcome to the club 'Dog, and a very helpful club it is too...

We are doing a camping trip to Wales on the 16-18th Sept. Doing Snowdonia first and make our way down to fishguard. That's where his parents live. If your about, pop over and say hello.

That sounds great! I can pop over on the Sunday morning if you're still in Snowdonia?

I will also make that trip down to the moors, haven't been down that way for years.

Thanks for the welcome folks, much appreciated!

Stuart

Hi Lyn,

I will pm you closer to the 18th so we can arrange to meet up and ride over together.

Yes, I do have the wiring diagram for the WR (what are indicators used for on a WR ). Leave it with me, I'll scan it and email over to you. Send me your address.

I knew there was a real gripe I've got with the bike.....it's bloody lights!

I was riding back from Fishguard the other week and really struggled on those beautiful dark twisties through Mid Wales. Would changing the bulb for one of those Xenon type bulbs make any difference or is mounting auxiliary spots a recommended upgrade?

I looked at Touratech's lights and almost p*&%£$ myself, I don't know how they get away with charging the prices they do?

What alternative lights have people fitted and what brackets were used etc.

Cheers

Stu

Do a search for BTBR or Bigtrailbigrider. Seems to be the man - he's doing mine in a week or so.
