BMW R-Series description

A little bit about my bike. I was 12 years old getting off the school bus when I spotted this black motorcycle being rolled out of a trailer into the nicest house in the neighborhood. Ten years later, I purchased that bike with 9300 miles on it. That was 1972! The original purchase was made at Ghost Motorcycles in Port Washington, New York. Now, 42 years later, the mileage is 23,960. I am the 2nd owner with the original documentation. This bike also won FIRST PLACE at LARZ ANDERSEN AUTO MUSEUM.

BMW Introduces Dynamic Damping Control Suspension System

Mon, 04 Jul 2011

BMW has developed new suspension technology that automatically adjusts damping for different riding conditions. The Dynamic Damping Control is the next evolutionary step in BMW‘s suspension technology, following its Electronic Suspension Adjustment systems (ESA and ESA II). While ESA allowed the rider to adjust suspension settings with the push of a button, DDC automatically makes adjustments as you ride.

Bridgestone BT-023 tyre tested

Fri, 19 Mar 2010

Replacing the BT-021, the 023 has a uniform carcass construction but has two different compounds of rubber to alter its performance. The inner rubber is harder for increased life while the rubber on the tyre’s edges is softer for outright grip. On the brief dry sections of our ride the 023 seemed to get up to working temperature rapidly and delivered good dry grip, certainly more than enough for most road riders if you are honest about your riding ability.

WSBK 2013: Jerez Race Report

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

Eugene Laverty did everything he could, scoring a pair of race wins but it was not enough as Tom Sykes rode smartly and conservatively at the season finale in Spain, securing his first ever World Superbike Championship. Sykes landed in Jerez with a 37-point lead over Laverty and a 38-point lead over Sylvain Guintoli. While Laverty battled Marco Melandri to win Race One, Sykes coasted comfortably in third for most of the race to score 16 points, enough to clinch the title.
