Re: Are you happy with your Bike(s)?

Hmm - not that happy with the finish on my 2016 GSA.

Off to BMW dealer tomorrow for a new rear subframe to replace the rusty paint flaking mess that mine has become.

Re: KTM 990 Dakar V KTM 1050

I have just waved goodbye to a 13 plate 990 adventure with 17k on the clock and full KTM service history - great bike if you can live with flakey electrics -my fault for riding it through two winters without realising how vulnerable the solenoid and RR are to salt! Replaced it all of course prior to ...

Re: Quick erect tents...anyone use one?

I have a Kyham biker and as others have said it's no quicker to erect than a standard tent and it's not the best in terms of quality.

I have just retired a 1990's Pheonix Phunnel as the proofing has now expired and the taped seams have failed,

Re: KTM 990 what to look for?

Re: KTM 1090 Adventure R Thread

I had a 1090R as a courtesy bike whilst work was being done on my 2013 990 adventure, did about 400 motorway miles (work trips).

Other than it being a bit tall for me (although the lightness helps) I loved it, nice smooth throttle response compared to the knife edge response of the 990 and so much ...

Re: TomTom vs Garmin

Just replaced my ancient TomTom rider 2 with a Garmin 590 - so far so good I like it a lot. Feels well made and robust.
