Please look up ´racism´. I get and sort of second your point but I did laugh out loud about your understanding and use of the language you claim is the simplest :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Btw for us forrinahs English is a véry confusing language. It is totally on par with the use of thumbs and feet...

Coin ´coined´ . If visible when dry will clean up the glue.

I am ok with the about 10 l. I am not riding longer distances in one go anyway and more fule would just be more weight sñoshing about high up. If/when I hook up a sidecar, will carry a 20 l. can it that one.

Received the coin

not very flashy that

congratulations and enjoy!

Thanks. Much appreciated. The dealer is an überlarge BMW combined car and motorcycle dealer not much interested in the latter and thén only in selling electric ones so it is more a case of being interested in móre money.

Took some creative searching as the site search did not turn it up but FOUND it in an earlier thread: https://www.r18forums.com/threads/battery-in-the-dwa-unit.3146/

@laennecr Still muddling ahead with informing myself proplery about sidecar install. Latest is that the vehicle electrics/electronics specialist ánd the ´nearest´ BMW dealer are clueless about the R18 can-bus. Looks I will have to do that myself. Do you have any pointers starting with where I...

Has anyone found/located the DWA connector on the R18? This for hooking up a HEX-EZ Canbus.

The sidecar idea is still burning on the backburner. Over here the actual physical/technical bit is not the challenge; the paperwork to have it legal on the road is and thén some. I have an independent cár garage at 50 meters, just the other side of the bridge. The owner and only mechanic is a...

in the larger scheme of things it does not matter and will be ok anywhichway: Change happens and a new balance will establish. And that ´us´ is as much us plebs as our span of control reaches. Same thing ... ´we´ did destroy the two richests cultures in past centuries; India and China, to...

Again not thát cut and dried. Yes it is thát much more expensive to be Made in Germany.

A perspective for us dinosaurs: 2006 344’000 Harleys sold worldwide. 2024 151’000. Turning up the prices does not change the underlying reality.

As observed there is probably a bit nuance to ´copy´. In most cases the original was fabricated in China already. The Chinese shifter I got from China is pretty much ok and for the price VGVFM. Here a nice quote lifted from the German R18 forum: ´Die neuen G450er Modelle werden in Indien...

and that is only partly true because of differences in production costs. That is not even mentioning brand ´added value´.

ahhhh, prices. The whole market for larger motorcycles is seriously sliding down a slippery slope. It is a combination of economy and the baby boomers getting past their sell by date. In Germany the market has fallen 25%. As such ALL cruisers are bruising. It stands to reason that a new kid...

Thanks for sharing the photo.

When you buy from a seller in China, you know the product is Made in China. When you buy from a manufacturar in say Spain with in house production, you know it is Made in Spain. Buying something from a European or US based after market seller, no matter how renowned, you may get Made in...

Over here we have a network of caminos; compacted ´zahorra´ (crushed red/pink granite). Generally very well maintained and off/all road enthusiast from the north of europe come over for organised ´adventure´ holiday packages. here are two flourishing businesses in the very valley here. I pedal...
