Question regarding oil head ownership

[sycomoto]

This has been playing on my mind most of he night since collecting this loverly 2000 R1150gs. Do I need to buy an aerostich over suit or will my old hein gerick stuff do. I was thinking I may get another twat suit but in the clear light of day I didn't want to be mistaken for one of the WC riders or heavens forbid a Ewan mcgreggor wannabe. Back to the aerostich, do the do other colour or is grubby red and oily Gray the only options.
The other questions I have are regards tyres, mine are round n black but I quite fancied the knobbly types, can you get these at your bmw dealer or are the special order things. I'd also like to know what the key hole on my left cylinders for, is this some form of engine immobiliser, talking of engines, what oil should I use, I saw in halfords today some oil that had 2T on the bottle so that sounds about right as my bike has 2 pots but what do they men by premix
Last thing, my bike has a gear indicator and I think there's something wrong with it, it counts the gears one to five perfect but when you get to the sixth gear it shows a number 3 but backwards what's that all about.
Anyway thanks for any help and advice you can give, I'm looking forward to being an 1150 rider

Done that, I had a 1200adv and loved it, but once the wannabes started riding them to 's in their twatsuits, standing on the pegs for the speed bumps I decided enough was enough. I rode mine off road, went through fords got it muddy etc but then that Charlie fella with him bum chum Ewan did the long way down thing and it spoilt things.

Mind you a nice 1200adv in the anniversary colours like your avatar would look very nice next to my other GS.

Sounds like a locking oil filler cap. Hope you have the key.

It's supposed to do that 1,2,3,4,5,E the E stands for Economy.

Muppet
It is indeed an E, but that is for "Error"
There is an "Error" with six gear.
Sell it, quick.

E stands for error, it was supposed to be 5 speed like the 1100

Isn't E for EMMA

There you go..................a new name for the bike, in true Pastyman tradition
