emcarix - Sorry I must have missed your post. I’m 6’2”, 265# and the jacket is big enough that I could add a heated vest or down vest and not feel squeezed. But if it that cold I drive my car!

Almost $120.00 at BMW SAN ANTONIO,

Rode it of course! Put the stock seat back on and am missing the chrome trim piece that covers the rear screw that holds the seat in place - you know the small “U” shaped cover…

Since resuming riding back in September on the days and evenings that I ride the bike I have less tension in my lower back and at times although I still have chronic low back pain the pain doesn’t seem acute as the days that I drive my little F-Type Jag Convertible! Of course neither one of...

The only way I learned about the Reverse Recall was here on the forums. So thanks for that guys! The local dealer here in San Antonio “heard” about the recall and about disabling the module. However they knew nothing about a replacement part(s). I’m a retired Coast Guard CWO4 - logistics...

You need to tilt the negative end up enough to clear the exhaust pipe…

I love it when a plan comes together! On Saturday I rode to the San Antonio BMW Motorcycle Shop. I knew that there was something big going on but I wasn’t really there for that. They had a big todo food truck, icy cold beverages, lots of bikes. I wanted to find out how many payments I...

Having a heck of a time trying to re-install my battery on my First Edition R18; any tricks to doing that? Are the Li Batteries smaller than the standard lead acid battery? If so, what source/part number should I get? Thanks in advance...

Thanks all. Ulrich - still need to change fluids, renew the insurance, inspected (Texas don't you know). and registration paid. But I will take it for a test ride tomorrow!

Well almost. In early 2022 I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer aka “Old Man Cancer” and in October of 2022 I had my Prostate removed. So far there hasn’t been any re-occurance of any cancer! Thank God! Back in 2014 I had a heart attack and had to retire for a second time; and on 1 December...

Well Shazam! Fresh 12v battery; fresh 2032 Battery, not a 2025 battery; push fob button, in neutral, side stand up, vroom it starts! Thanks Rufus for the thought to check the fob battery!

Maybe if I would use the “right” battery; will try a 2032 instead of a 2025!

Supposedly the battery is charged will check it tonight.

Yes

Due to surgeries and hospitalizations my R18 has sat, unused for almost 2 years. I bought and installed a new fresh battery. Nothing; except for a vertical bar of red lines that goes blank. What do I do?

Danke Hanse and VARG my local Home Depot had Something that works. Currently in the Local Hospital with a 103.5 F fever. Instead of blood in my urine I have urine in my blood! Will keep you all posted!

Thank you!

I lost the screw that holds the rear of the seat to the rear fender. Anyone know the pitch and length for that screw? Thanks. Tim

Heck I even wore the white gloves and used the screwdriver in the FE Box to change the rondels. I also adjusted the fit on the ball cap and have worn the belt buckle a few times. I treated the FE Gift Pack like I do with all my firearms - I shoot them! Collecting firearms and buying, selling...

I buy, sell, trade, and collect custom knives and I also believe in stimulating the economy, one gun at a time! Here are a few of my knives and guns: 1952 Colt Government .45 acp; knife by Jerry Hossom. The mammoth ivory scales on the knife were sourced from Charles Turnage who lives here in...
