What kit does everyone take out on the trails to be able to change a tube if the need arises? Speaking to @Whealie at the national got me thinking of what tools to take out.

Very solid luggage rack, just removed from my Tenere 700, all fittings and instructions included. Some rubbing of the black powder coating where the top case has been, and some boot scuffs. Doesn't include top box... see separate listing for that! :D £160 new. £90 posted.

Taken off when the bike was new to fit LED indicators. Might be useful as spares, all have bulbs. £5 can take the National Meet or arrange collection or postage.

Needs a repair as the aluminium has cracked where the rear fixing hooks are, but very repairable I think. See photos. Have 2 sets of keys for it. £50 Can bring to the National or can discuss other collection / postage options.

Mind condition, was taken off of the bike when new. Boxed with exhaust clamp. £50 Can bring to the National Meet in Dent or happy to discuss other options of pick up or post.

I’ve recently attended the BMW Off Road Skills level 1 course and thought it would be interesting to jot my thoughts down and share some pics. So the Off Road Skills company is run by Simon (ex Dakar god) & Linley Pavey and their team, they provide off road training on BMW GS Trophy’s 1250 and...

Well I never really gelled with the Tenere 700 Rally, it was in mint condition so never wanted to mess up off-road, and with only 1200 miles on it embarrassingly in 2 years! So it went today and its replacement picked up. Back to the BMW fold after my BMW Off Road Skills training (must do a...

For sale is my Garmin XT, perfect condition, reset, all patched and bang up to date. Plus a Touratech lockable mount, providing a very secure fixing. Includes two keys. XT is boxed with all original stuff in the box. All in mint condition. Also included is various spacers used to adapt the...

So sorry to announce that we've lost a brother. Dirk AKA Maverick that many of us will know and was a friend to many of us has passed away. He had a long fight with COVID and eventually succumbed. Thoughts are very much with his partner, the boys, family and friends. A very say day.

In a further variation from Dee Dub’s thread… going to chop in my GSA at Dick Lovett as it’s too big a beastie for my steep drive and it is literally an accident waiting to happen, plus I bought it for commuting which I won’t be doing now. What makes this thread very exciting is that I don’t...

I thought I’d stick some pics up of the Beemer as it won’t be looking like this for long! BMW 1250 GSA TE Rallye Done a grand total of 1200 miles so far. Very impressed generally, only PITA is the connectivity to the tft screen.

Youngest daughter is off to Kenya and needs a suitable tent to fit in her rucksack. Any recommendations? Apparently the Khyam Biker is too big! :cool2:

So it’s nearly time for me to change my GSA for something newer. I’m thinking of a change from another GSA, so any suggestions on something that I will commute on, and can do circa 280 miles on a tank full?

I like many others received a suspicious email today from Touratech. I suspect they’ve been hacked. I think everyone’s had exactly the same email. Just FYI Don’t click on the links.

We’ve just become grand parents for the first time. We’re so excited I just wanted to share the news especially as many of you will have met my lad Ben on a few of the XRV outings and meets. Mother and baby doing well even if the grand parents are a bit frazzled after celebrating.

Washed the bike this Saturday after a couple of weeks of continuous commuting and a previous ACF50 treatment. God damn that ACF50 attracts the dirt! Took loads of Muc-off and 2 buckets of hot soapy water to get the bike clean. New sponge is now black. Got it clean in the end though. Coated it...

It was cold this week so I dug out my heated jacket the other morning. I’ve got a digital switch for it to set the level. Plugged it in and set the level and then plugged my jacket in. Then power was cut and would not come back on until the bike was turned off and on again. So seems to be power...

I posted on UKGSer but thought I may as well ask here as well. I bought a spare set of wheels some time ago for my GSA LC. I finally got a set of tkc80s fitted by Lee from EMJ Bike Tyres the other month and have fitted them on the bike this weekend. Of course I now have the TPS icon flashing as...

Bah another puncture. I'm convinced its these Anakee tyres. So new GSA and only 2K miles and 1st puncture in the rear. Screw not far off the centre line. Looks like its been there a while. Will need to get the kit out tomorrow as mobile chappy can't repair it properly until Thursday evening.

Picked up my new GSA on Saturday from Dick (I) Lovett in Bristol. Pretty much the same as the one I chopped in other than cornering ABS I think and some new Euro gubbins. Busy putting the Akra back on and the Touratech bits and bobs to protect it. Other one had fared reasonably well over 2...
