I'd ask on a BMW boxer forum as I don't know if there's anything specific to re commisioning a BMW boxer.
In general,with any bike that's been stood I would get it turning over with the kick start or through the gearbox first.

Don't the buses/coaches have heated windscreens or night heaters? I get that a Artic cab is a lot smaller than a bus/coach cab but surely they're specced for the climate the vehicles operate in? When I was trucking I'd just fire up the Eberspacher for a few minutes,lovely toasty cab,windscreen defro...

Living where you are it should be routine & you're geared up for it,over here it's random & the place skids to a halt!

Pah, I've driven 25 miles to the office, bossing it in the snow in my Swedish pimp wagon. Took me ages to get all the snow off the car, shouldn't have bothered, no fucker else on the commute had, snow falling off cars all over the shop. That sodding annoys me!! Especially the morning after a heavy ...

We've had a light duting in West Lancs.



Another reason to be glad that my trucking day's are over

Ah sorry,I thought it was the 1000.
These are for the 600 https://skidmarx.co.uk/fairings-lowers/ ... ing-lowers
Or these https://www.pandpbodyworks.co.uk/produc ... ng-lowers/

Managed to get out on the 650X for a spin earlier,the gritters don't seem to have been out yet,but the farmer's are busy :shock: https://i.imgur.com/rmxMBnO.jpg I might be looking for a more aggresive tread pattern for the next set of tyres... https://i.imgur.com/h4V2eX3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/QyqD...

We went to the canalside pub where we plan our motorcycle tours,this time it's a Scotland trip





Lovely Autumn day although it turned to Fog by the time we left,hopefully that's not a omen for the Scotland trip...

I think that's the first time I've seen a Harris Magnum & thought it looked ugly

[ Sun should have reappeared yesterday evening in the NW and should be reasonably bright for the next few days. Staying fairly mild. Would you be kind enough to let me pinch that second photo? Would be perfect for my Science Of Being Seen presentations to show that lights are useful on dull grey da...

Should be interesting to see how the trail bike version compares to the Himalayan,Voge & CRF in both performance & price.
I always liked the look of the DRZ400 SM,I think this new version would look good in classic Suzuki blue & white.

One of my mate's has a GT250A,I'll send him a link to this

I was out on the 650X today,glad I was wearing my Winter gloves. https://i.imgur.com/z89HkKo.jpg I went for an explore across the moss,this roads been closed for a couple of months where a bridge goes over the old dissused railway line,they've put big concrete blocks across the road but there's enou...

I don't know who was first to use a compressor & I think it's a different use for it but they've been using compressors in Moto GP for years for the pneumatic valves.

I've just watched that Bikeworld video,I'm a subscriber to the channel,it's great to see how much fun you can have for not much outlay at grass roots level,CB500's,Bandit's & MZ's spring to mind. I listen to a lot of bike racing podcasts & a common theme with racers looking back on their car...

I must admit I was surprised that he's going around again,especially at that level of racing

Leon Haslam's switching to Ducati power next season https://bikesportnews.com/british-super ... sb-season/
I don't know if Oxford are still involved or what's happening with Christian Iddon
Glen Irwin's signed with PBM again for two years.

Well we're going down the pub next thursday for a chat & put some ideas together so I'll be refering them to these suggestions
Thanks for your input .

Hating Trump didn't make Harris more qualified. She lost because she's a blithering idiot. At least now she has a reason to avoid the media. FFS stop whining you're as bad as the Brexiteers. Haven't you got that arse upwards, as it was the Brexiteers that won, so it was the remain lot that were ble...
