I use one from from Radio Shack. I just checked their site, but don't see it there. I'll try to post a shot of it and the model #. I should have noted this, and will add it: Always carry meds with a copy of the original prescription and original bottle label, if not in the bottle itself (the...

Could be related to this (from motorcycle-usa.com post): "Perhaps most interesting is Husqvarna's targeted pitch toward young riders. The debut press announcement mentions “young” and “first-time” riders repeatedly. It E-ven uses the E-lectric E-marketing shtick...

I've had both at the same time of various vintages. If you live in a state that has tough licensing requirements, such as CA, the S is much easier to deal with in that regard. CA checks the VIN number to see if the bike qualifies. Recent vintage Es do not. We always stripped off everything we...

Thanks, it's been a great bike for us for our intended purposes. Will do. I know a guy who's got an 1150 in Prescott too. I might even be able to talk him into getting out with us... ;)

We had lunch with the top two guys at BMW Motorad U.S. last year. At that time, the GS product line accounted for about 6 out of every 10 units sold in the North American market. During the last downturn, the U.S. motorsports market shrank by 50% (more in some categories). Some of the brands...

I went the other way on this trade-off. I spent many years and many thousands of miles off-road on DR350 / DRZ400 bikes. I had the dual sport and dirt models of both bikes. I ended up buying the BMW 1150 GSA so I could show my wife some of the places I was seeing on dirt bikes that she would...

Now I need to go back to the BMW museum...

If you don't have a lift-top/vertically expanding camper, it's a good idea to install lanyards from your cab rack to the front corners of the camper. Scott Brady suggested this when we tested with him and I built and installed some while we were exploring the U.S. Rockies & Pac NW prior to...

Our fabricator, Mark Johnson, built a rack for our cab. It's made of high strength aluminum and the rack itself can be easily lifted by one person. Rack fabrication shots here: http://www.hackneys.com/mitsu/photos/buildup_album_19/index.htm Rack install shots here...

Yes, it was a rental. Contact Skip at MotoDiscovery. http://www.motodiscovery.com/ Highly recommended.

With all due respect, that is the point. The high beam modulator exists to attract the attention of other drivers. Especially the ones who will (not would - will) otherwise turn left in front of you or pull out in front of you: I am in violent agreement that no amount of farkles, options or...

We selected the following when we built our GS back in 2003. They are both still working after seeing quite a bit of the world. - Kisan Pathblazer Headlight Modulator This device flashes the high beam during daylight hours. Oncoming drivers will notice you and be less inclined to turn left...
