hp2 no more

If I see an HP2 around these parts, I'll give you a nod/wave mate.

There are only three (incl'g mine) that I know of in Perth now.
It'd be good to catch up.

Some bits I added to the beast:
Wunderlich Vario Screen

Touratech Bar Risers

Pivot Pegz

just goes to show that there really aren't that many bikes over here - and even less of them are BMW's

thats a big old ride

Possibly down to #3.

the breakdown was due to a known fault - which will be rectified. The sidestand cut-out switch is a known weak spot on the bike. BMW refused to give me instructions on how to bypass it to get me going again, mainly due to "liability reasons".
I'll do a search because I know this work-aruond has been already shown somewhere on this website.
Apart from the stand cut-out problem, the bike went exceptionally well, and met all expectations.
I mean, riding an HP2 for 4300km is not what it was primarily designed for.
Some minor mods as I'm doing to it now will make it more transport-section friendly
I also have a tricked-up XR400 with a spare Acerbis 23L tank to join the HP2 in the shed, so I reckon I have all non-competitive offroad riding bases covered.

I'm sorry mate there is no way you can make a throw away japper look any good.

Well done Beachman.
I got rid of my first wife because after repeated instruction, she could not make toast properly. Everything else she done was fine.
My new one is fat and ugly (Louise ..this is an analogy, dont take it personally) but she makes good toast.

Should have got your first wife one of these could have saved you loads of money on the "cost to change " Figure
