I just had a good experience renting a BMW motorcycle in Europe through BMW's new Fuel for Life European dealer rental program. It was a solo trip with a very modest amount of preparation. Here are a few notes that might help if you are considering such a trip. Feel free to post any questions...
I smelled a burning plastic smell before my r1100s broke down on the side of the road. I traced the cause of the burning smell to the wires from the right handlebar kill switch that plug to the righthand side relay box as shown in photo.
The current symptoms of the bike are no start and no...

Hi all,
I'm Robb. The recent purchaser of Godfather's cherry 1978 R100/7. I found it on the advrider forum while asking questions about an R90/6 for sale locally. When I saw the bike and the care that went into it, I knew I'd found my airhead. After a few emails and phone calls, we made the...

I was going to purchase some "Speed-Bleeders" and install them, but when I...
