    So, swambo's 1200 GS with the diff problem is being fixed, and Andrew from Kingtek asks for the VIN no to ensure he fits the right parts. (This is not about him - that is to follow - don't worry, its a good experience this time) So Andrew start talking about the ST's diff. I tell him no, it is...

    A public service post

    I believe that sharing experiences with others (people and businesses) is a public service, helping others to make better informed decisions. Therefore, I feel it proper to share my experience with a person whose name I got off the BMW forum to do some work on a bike. On Wednesday 26 July, I...

    Tyre opinions

    I need new tyres. Done 30k km on a Heidi front, but only 5k km on a Mitas 08 rear, whilst having always done in excess of 12k km on Heidi rears. So no more Mitas for me. They are too expensive per km. Heidi ...... well, don't know. I've never had one that does not lose air, so always necessary...
