BMW R-Series description

Gorgeous vintage motorcycle, garage kept, all original german parts (hence the KM in title). Recent maintenance includes resealed gas tank, battery replaced, all light bulbs replaced, etc. This bike includes original saddlebags and mounts, worth about $500 now. Also, the bike is a burnt red color with no real damage to speak off, aside from minor nicks and dings (ex. small scratch on leather, small scrape on gauge from the keys etc)
I went to start it up recently and discovered a leak in the right carb due to worn gaskets and floats. Will need to be gone through.
Still fires up and runs!

In Gear: Alpinestars SMX-6 V3 Boot Review

Thu, 09 Jan 2025

Alpinestars updates its all-around full-sized street boot Photos by: Got Blue Milk (action) & Alpinestars (static) Not to wax poetic, but choosing the right gear requires a little introspection. What are we going to use it for? What do we expect out of our gear?

BMW 1000RR and the Honda C70, are they indestructible?

I’ve managed 1374 miles on the Michelin Power Pures (mostly on track) and although we’ve had some decent temperatures they still look like new so there’s plenty meat left for another month at least. I’ve been running them at 30psi front and 32psi rear and find they warm up after a few miles but I wouldn’t say the temperature comes any quicker than any of the competition so it has to be four miles before I get brave. I’ve had a few out the seat moments with my BMW but I have got the rear suspension  set pretty hard (8 rebound,8 compression, two turns on pre load) and in slick mode, so 190bhp in first gear at the Knockhill hairpin is always going to be dodgy.

Seat Time: Falling on Your Face

Photography by: Matthew McNulty and Justin Coffey After scrolling through endless lists of famous quotes looking for something which really suits my condition, I landed on this: “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” —Paulo Coelho It’s not the most profound of the options. Nor the most touching or even poignant. But how I interpret the meaning was the most encouraging.
