Meet Up
When are some of you guys going to arrange a meet so that I may come along and have a natter with you.
I ask as this is my first BMW (and loving it) but I really don't know enough about my bike and I am reading up on the model. But I am interested to get people's thoughts on what can be done to improve mine and are certain noises standard etc.
It's like my bike has self canceling indicators, was this a standard fit for 2001 model or is it aftermarket. I already mentioned my bike has the yellow coloured spring on the rear shock and now found out this could be the upgraded sports suspension.
So when it starts to get a bit sunnier can we meet up for a chat, I don't fancy driving to Scotland from Milton Keynes for just a Saturday afternoon ride out though lol.

don't forget ...... when we're on the ride out ... we don't know one another .... wouldn't want to upset NW plod as I understand it's an offence for more than 10 vehicles to be in "convoy" without special permission
