    Information R18 Model

    It is finished! Detail is amazing on the model unfortunately the old eyes and fat fingers mean there are a few errors/mistakes but i am super impressed with the overall result. Now to try and figure out how to add the same mods as on the real Big Red

    Information R18 Model

    I bought the Meng 1/9 Scale Model not sure what to expect. It is coming together and I have to admit I am impressed with the quality of the kit and the finish on the painted parts. Was happy to get the classic in the Mars Red same as Big Red. Will not have all the same mods but it will sit in...

    Some amazing roads in that region I am very jealous. When we have visited Marbella in the past and i was forced into the rental car I could only dream of riding the bike which was then a 2005 K1200S. Now to somehow get the Red Beast there for a week or two!

    R18 Boxer Coffee Machine

    Well said. However the 20m extension lead got me thinking? How come the wife needs an extension lead? 🤪but then looked at the photo. Definitely an Aussie image!

    R18 Boxer Coffee Machine

    It is more finished than that now. It took almost 7 years of small improvements and the bar was self made. I assembled the billiard table on my own to save money. Fortunately the basement was finished when we bought the house 11 years ago and has a full height ceiling. The painting was done by...

    R18 Boxer Coffee Machine

    Damn only 80 will be made. And of course no mention of price. Old saying. If you have to ask you can’t afford it.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Installed the Vance and Hines slip one. Easy to do once figured it out. Not a huge difference noticed in sound. But will know more after first ride tomorrow

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Today I replaced the polished alloy covers with BMW original black chromed ones. In my opinion improved the looks no end Tomorrow, hopefully, the Vance and Hines slip ons will be added. Also assembled the Kern Stabi the the mobility wheels. Much easier to move around.

    Luggage Rack Disappointment

    Based on their shop I assume most businesses is with HD. May be worth taking it to get anodized.

    Luggage Rack Disappointment

    I have installed the chrome version on my Classic. Love the looks and will be keen to see how it wears over time. I found the finish of the chrome to be good. But I guess only time will tell. For the black I almost went that route but glad I didn’t now. Seems it is a painted not a black chrome...

    Cheers from Italy

    I am 172cm or 5ft6 and when I first sat on the bike it was the first bike ever that the bars felt exactly right. They did seem to be rotated backwards slightly. It was a used bike so perhaps the previous owner adapted it slightly. Now the seat I agree with, one hour and it is certainly getting...
