Adventure riding ÔÇô itÔÇÖs the latest genre of motorcycling and it is taking the world by storm. Except adventure motorcycling and the bikes that fall into this category arenÔÇÖt new to BMW Motorrad. After all, the BMW R 80 G/S (G/S stands for Gel?ñnde/Strasse ÔÇô off-road/street) was introduced in 1980. This was the production bike that allowed two-wheel fanatics to indulge in off-road sport and, more ..More

Munich.The BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2012 is complete. This, the third edition of the GS Trophy proved every bit as compelling, as challenging ÔÇô and ultimately, as unifying ÔÇô as the previous two. The biggest yet, it brought 15 teams with riders representing 19 nations together for a seven-day 2000 kilometre adventure across the Andean high country of the Chile-Argentina borderlands. Riding over terrain that was sometimes no more than a loamy single-track path through a forest, other times a hard pack high-speed piste across the vast open plateaux, the riders battled through clouds of volcanic ash, were exhausted by sun-baked afternoons, then soaked by rain and chilled by the cool of the mountains in this time of early spring in Southern Hemisphere. ..More

No matter which of the four seasons fall upon motorcyclists, there is always one part of the riding day that fills us with a natural dread: night time.

Every motorcyclist understands the benefits of powered two-wheelers, especially as a quick and reliable way to get through traffic in busy urban areas.

When the first production version of the BMW i3 rolls off the assembly line in Leipzig in late 2013, it will mark the provisional culmination of 40 years of development work at BMW. It all began at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, where the BMW starting line-up included two electrically powered test vehicles. The converted BMW 1602 models served as a means of transport for the members of the organising committee, and were also deployed as support and camera cars in various long-distance events. However, there could be no questioning that lead batteries weighing 350 kilograms and with a range of around 60 kilometres (37 miles) were hardly ideal for a production car. BMW therefore launched a series of research and development projects with the aim of bringing an improved and, above all, more efficient technology for electric drive systems onto the road. ..More

ÔÇ£Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AGÔÇØ (BFW) was established on 6 March 1916. In 1922, financier Camillo Castiglioni acquired engine production along with the workforce and production facilities, the company name and the logo in white and blue of ÔÇ£Bayerische Motoren Werke GmbHÔÇØ and transferred all these assets to ÔÇ£Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AGÔÇØ. Since that point, the establishment of BFW has been recorded as the birthday of Bayerische Motoren Werke. ..More

Whew, I have missed the whole forum for several days now.
Glad they fixed what ever they found wrong.
Now I want to make sure i get my daily racing and motorbike news, will the daily thread automatically send me an update like it has for the last year or so ?

Thanks, Doug

NEW: DIY Motorcycle Lift/Work Deck
Saw this in another thread and thought I would add it to the Reference Library. Since my last move I have been on the floor. I am thinking about this winter and upcoming projects. I have used DIY Lifts/Work Decks for years. This caught my eye.

FWIW

A new year brings a slightly revised thread. There are some back of the house changes intended to speed putting the thread together and hopefully speed the loading of the thread for you to read. This is still a work in progress.

Members with Birthdays this Month
Forum members are the reason we are here. Posts for this thread and its various precursors have started with a birthday greeting.. I have missed some days and memberÔÇÖs birthdays by doing it as ÔÇÿTodayÔÇÖ. The link has changed to the Forums monthly calendar that has all the birthdays.

Black and Blue
The threads major categories remain. Black headings such as On the Street are simply category headings for organization. Ones that appear in blue have links to the primary home page for that area. For example SBK links directly to the World Superbike site.

Reference Library
The library has moved to its own post within the thread. The Reference Library is a work in progress. The new form just fits within the limits of a single post. I will continue to edit it for ease, clarity and length. Future versions will come. I hope this change will speed loading of the thread and you will still find the library a useful resource.

Frequency
LifeÔÇÖs demands are piling up. My goal at this time is a baseline of posts on Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and more as they happen. Looking over my records of daily views these are the peak view days. I hope you understand.

An Apology
Several members have sent me linkedin requests that I have not responded to. I do not mean to be a snob, I am just a recovering Luddite who is way behind.

Thank You
A couple of quick thank you notes seem in order to start the new year.

First thank you to all the over 5000 Forum members that check in during the past week. I am humbly amazed at your interest in what interest me as I ÔÇÿpurposefully wonderÔÇÖ about the internet (Or there are a lot of Laurel and Hardy fans on the forum).

Thank you to Vince and the Forum staff for the link on the homepage to this thread. When Vince contacted me about this I felt honored for the opportunity. The thread views had been growing to that point but exploded after the link was put in place.

I hope the changes work for you.

Happy New Year and welcome back to the thread.

Dakar 2013 Press Rekease
Wednesday 9th January 2013
A serious accident involving 3 vehicles occurred in Peru on Wednesday 9th January at 21.30 hours (Peru time), 10 kilometres from the border with Chile.

The accident involved a support vehicle with 3 passengers and two taxis, one of them carrying 6 people and the other with 4 people.

One of the two taxis collided head on with the support vehicle, and the second taxi overturned several times in an attempt to avoid the accident.

Unfortunately, two of the people in the first taxi ÔÇô one of them the driver ÔÇô died, and 7 others were injured (4 Peruvians and the 3 passengers in the support vehicle). They are being examined in hospitals in Tacna (Peru), where they were taken following the accident.

An Antonov aircraft of the Peruvian police has been put on special alert to transport the injured to Lima, in coordination with the rallyÔÇÖs medical service.
