Have a look at PCspecialist website and see what configs they have ready to go.

Great machines, good to deal with and plenty of options.

All I managed was new bearings on R-1 wheel, and a sore back……. [emoji22]

Interesting to read of the experiences - I wondered if they were for me.

Yeah- often used for rocking applications, but I'd have thought there was very little motion at all - there.

But - Triumph ain't gonna make a mistake with it.

Looks like a needle-bearing in one end?

It’s non-rotating, I’d expect plain bushing (or cushion sleeve like other end).

Out of interest - I plotted a non-peage rout from Calais………

Could be a leisurely 5 day jaunt. [emoji106]

The "Turnograph".

Good for you!

New tyres fitted, but the mechanic noticed front bearings a bit rough - SO..... I managed to read the bearing code (non-std wheels) and ordered up two sets of SKFs - so that will be the weekend's...

I think the S1000XR does the same - just in a different way. I DO Like twin-cyl instant grunt, though.

Too many choices when it comes to bikes - and some stonking S/H bikes on Facebook etc, at...

I'm not a huge fan of The Missenden Flyer, but stuck this one out to the end.

I don't like the rear fender - looks way too ancient.

But overall - I have to say, BMW have given the bike a very...

I sensed this is how a sole trader I used - was working. Transferred the money to his account when complete.

The fella in Moffat, off the M74 has done it right............

I'm not sure - although I discovered that I have shrunk 2" in the last ??? years (I hope it is in the last 10 years and not since 2023!).

I started on the low seat, but then bought the HP seat...

My original 2016 one - I fitted bar-end weights and a low seat before I even rode it, and couldn't discern any unusual vibes through the bars.

No bar vibes on either that or the subsequent 2019...

In the Borders - we had a fairly long trial period, where people got used to the limits. Did that not occur in Wales?

A lot of complaints, but it was passed (albeit their statistical analysis,...

Still my D36 (prev pic disappeared)

Out for a short run and a sit in the sun - to St Mary’s Loch. Lots of bikes out and when I counted at one point- 7 out of 27 bikes were BMW GS/GSAs.

Usual bunch of dicks revving fuel-injected...

The lot of them are culpable, including all the legal team and contracted lawyers.

Even the S1000R has sig better mileage than the MT10.

The XR is a brilliant bike though - I think I have covered around 30,000m on my two ser1 XRs - and haven't seen anything better for what I...

There's not a whole heap of bike - around that engine ! What a beast!

I was tempted by the 1290GT, for the shear grunt of the twin, but played safe with the S1000XR.
