What did you do to / ride to with your Beemer today?

90 minutes in the garage tonight to strip the fairing, change the oil and filter, remove the valve covers and pull the spark plugs. Tomorrow AM I'll check the valves and adjust the rocker arms if necessary before putting it back together. This is a 6000 mile service.

Pretty color combination but the cylinders point in the wrong direction :biggrin:
 
Tor, I traded the 2013 for a used 2020, it'll be 2 years in May. I've put about 14,000 miles on it.

Thanks Tor, hope to see you and Lois at one or more events this year, especially WV-STOC!

Btw, the first 2 photos were taken on the tree lined road into Friendship Hill National Historic Site, home of Albert Gallatin who was the United States longest serving Secretary of the Treasury from 1801-1814. I believe he served in Congress representing Pennsylvania.

The other photo was at the entrance to Fort Necessity National Battlefield along US route. 40 in southwestern PA. As I live 8 miles south of the state line with WV, PA is a frequent riding area for me.

Is this a naked RT or a half naked RT?

I rode it today like this for just no reason but to try it like that. I didn't really notice much difference riding but I did notice I had to lift my old leg even higher to get it over the already much too high seat. 102 miles with 20 to 25 winds I couldn't tell if the gas mileage was much different.

But man o man it looks super mean. I'm thinking an orange peeler glass pack inside a single chrome 4" truck stack soon... :radleak:

Snazzy BMW. What type of rear tire are you running???? Darkside?

Shhh don't start a storm in the BMW area. Yes it takes the exact same rear as an ST1300 if you did use a car tire on the RT.
