Good times to remember

Long piece (part review, part hagiography) on the motikom.

At this time I'm more likely to get a 2nd hand beeline as my only requirement is navigation and less noise (foam ear plugs work for me).

IF I was to start riding with a pillion or with a riding partner then I would certainly consider getting one.

I've been using Google over headphones with no visual. That has mostly worked, but does involves some self directed "oh bugger" U turns.

Thanks all for the info and feedback.

Thanks.

Colour is gold metal flake with a candy apple red top coat - I'm such a tart!

How is the noise cancelling? Thorough?

Had a fab long weekend, went down to visit friends in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, did nigh on 700 miles on the Beemer.

Finally sorting out what works for me with the sat nav. Multi stops and no motorways seems to head off Google's propensity for re-routing.

Only trouble is after a day's spirited riding with sat nav headphones (and a loud bike), my ears were properly ringing. Note this will be from wind and exhaust not the sat nav as it only speaks once in a while.

I might try one of the Beeline handlebar thingies as I need to protect what hearing I have left.

Reluctant to fit my phone to the handlebars as being an artist my main usage of the thing is for photography and there are many stories of the vibration damaging the camera.

Anyone found a good noise or visual solution to sat nav woes?

Following.

Just did 600 + miles on my old Beemer this weekend, bikes are just the best!

Yes, I did the London one. Over 500 riders. Great fun

Liking this! Subbed...

Clean and shiny just need one minor repair (out with the glue) and I'm set.

Go on, dip in your pockets... it's for a good cause, and the irony of me riding in the "Gentlemen's Ride" has to be worth a few bob!

Silly silly money, but phwaor!

Exactly a '79 R80/7, but with loads of tweaks. Rebuild was completed while I was still planning to emigrate to New Mexico (deeper sump, higher top gear, 1000cc etc), but I don't regret any of it. She's a keeper for sure.

It's had a shit ton of work done on it, and wow, it felt sooooooo good.

Happy Poppy!

Not sure how many of my old LFGSS crew are still on here, but 11 years after it was last on the road, the might Beemer rumbles again...!

Damn and blast, this sounds good, but I no longer live in London, so pretty unlikely!

Ride safe, Poppy
