First ride on a BCR yesterday

I'll come clean.

Many moons ago I ran a basic grey R1100s for a while. Have been lurking around here for a while. Been through a few bikes since then and have a basic black Beemer in the shed, but only recently acquired a nice BCR and had it trucked home.

Sun was still shining yesterday evening after my chores were done. The rain promised to stay away. So I rolled it out of the shed for my first ride.

And second ride this morning. So I could compare the high and low seats.

What a sweetie! A tribute to the care and attention bestowed upon it before falling into my hands.

Purrs like a pussy cat. Rides well. I promise not to get it dirty.

Now - how on earth do I lock the mirror stems in the correct position? Now screwed in tight, but in the wrong place. Where's the lock nut hiding?

You have definitely elected the wrong username

Nice choice of bike though!

BTW follow the stem down and look underneath, all is revealed, 6mm allen key needed.

That is a beautiful bike!

BCRs are rare as hen's teeth here in the US.

Oddly enough there is somebody who lives nearby me that has the twin of my R11. Odd I only see hint when I'm driving not riding. Maybe he's got a spare key to my garage?

That's a clean example, for sure.

Central Scotland? Roughly where?

Last minute add on in case I scratched it. Must get a proper tank protector.
