Hi All,

Just back from a beech holiday in Majorca, whilst sitting enjoying a few cold ones on the front with the GF on Sunday lunchtime, a group of about 15 Espana BMW riders came passed and parked on the promenade, it consisted of 2 RT's, 1 R and the rest a mixture of GS's from 650,s up, with mostly 1200,s and 1 GSA.

After finishing my beer i decided to stroll up and have a looksee, insisting to the GF it was worth her while :D on approaching the bikes started to ride off leaving...... a breakdown truck. After spending the previous 30 minutes preaching how we must go on a biking holiday together this didnt bode well, to my surprise it wasnt the GSA as it had rode past and i couldnt see what bike it was so i told her it was one of those unreliable RT's :)

hope i got away with it...
 
Good luck with that!

In defence of the RT, I have had 1 x 1150 and subsequently 2 x 1200s and never a problem.

Apart from seizing the front discs on the 1150 cos I hadnt noticed the pads were down to metal :augie

Oh and then on a 1200 I got knocked off the RT in the outside lane of the M3 by a mini cab who just sort changed lanes into me...bike oil everywhere...

Oh and on another trip in France the engine refused to idle...did the throttle open closed routine before lighting her up and all was fixed.

Buuuut apart from that what have the Romans ever done for us?
