• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    garmin 660LM update

    Mine came with a Garmin 590 last week. When I checked it it turned out to have 2015 maps in it and the updates were going to cost £79 for the whole of Europe. Bring less than impressed I have asked the dealer to replace it, this time with lifetime map,updates and a working battery. I pick it...

    garmin 660LM update

    Think the 660 might just use a standard SD card. You will also have to pop the battery out to see the slot as well. It's been a long time since I had one so I might be wrong.

    garmin 660LM update

    Take off the battery cover and you will find a USB socket. The necessary cable should have come with the kit. Download Garmin Express from Garmin.com. Plug in your 660 and Express should find your unit and tell you what software and maps are available. If the unit did not come with lifetime...

    Corrosion Issues or Not

    Have just become the proud owner of RT Limited after 21 years on BMW tourers it's heartening to see there are not dozens of posts relating to corrosion issues. BMW seem very prone to them. Are there any problem areas or are they properly built in the first place. Mine for sure is very...

    RT Half-Cover Question

    Got the Ultraguard half cover delivered yesterday. Sold as being for the Goldwing but it's a very good fit and a third of the price of the OEM one in UK.

    How old is too old to get started riding a Spyder

    Just got my first one at 75 and 4 months. Much easier than a big bike and even more fun

    Downloading routes from to Garmin

    Any Windows 10 with a USB socket should do. If you intend to install your detailed maps into BaseCamp though it uses quite a lot of memory. I use a Windows Surface as it's easy to pack but don't install the detailed maps. Just plug in the Garmin and they appear. MAC computers don't seem to...

    BULBS

    my conversation this morning went something like this- I spend all this money and end up with a dead GPS which is now out of production. And by the way the battery is no more. New one on the way I think.

    BULBS

    I have also fitted the Sena SM10 to the audio unit and have a pair of Sena 10S headsets. Although the two have paired I am getting music both from the speakers and the headset at the same time. This definitely doesn't work as the headsets are a split second behind the speakers. If I mute the...

    BULBS

    As I said , don't really want to start taking bulbs out to see exactly what they are as I thought with all the collective knowledge here someone should tell me it they have offset pins or not. Doesn't look like anybody knows ..

    BULBS

    Honest. The one I have found is offset. If I could work out how to,post a photo I could prove it. Maybe it's just a Euro thing. Still would like to know what's fitted as I don't want to start poking about with something only 3 days old.

    BULBS

    Possibly to stop dumb owners fitting clear bulbs behind clear lenses so turning indicators into reversing lights.

    BULBS

    Even more confused now. I have found a single element 21 orange bulb and the pins are offset. Out of a BMW about 7 years ago.

    BULBS

    The handbook for my 2017 Limited has confused me. Been digging round the house for spare bulbs and the book is not too clear . Rear indicators are shown as 21W. As they are behind clear lenses they are orange. This normally means the pins are offset. True or false? Dipped headlight is shown...

    GET IT TOMORROW

    50 mile trip home this morning and then another 30 miles with wife in board. The first 10 miles was no fun but then things slowly started to gel and it started to go where I wanted to go. Great fun and all in the dry. Can't work out how to post picks, help.

    GET IT TOMORROW

    Looks like I'm in for an interesting day. There don't seem to be many of them this side of the pond so all the more fun. And thanks for all your comments. I will report back tomorrow, hopefully.

    GET IT TOMORROW

    Hi everyone. After 21 years on BMW bikes I have taken the plunge. So far I've had a 10 minute demo ride which was scary. Tomorrow I have a 50 mile ride home on twisty roads which should sort me out. It's an RT Limited in grey. Wish me luck. Looking forward to getting lots of info here.
