Re: computer average speed problem

Thanks guys.
I finally managed to get the computer to start calculation the average speed again.
I had to reset it two to three times before it started working correctly again.


Once again thanks for the help:-)

Re: Mail order "custom" seat?

i just got my Corbin saddle 2 weeks ago. http://www.corbin.com/bmw/bmwr12r7.shtml I find it much better than the stock BMW saddle. I have done a few trips around home (120 miles) and find it great. Even the wife like it better than the stock one. I am going on a 4000km (2485Mile) trip in April over ...

Re: The Yellow Headlight

In South Africa white or yellow are allowed. I bought a yellow protector for my headlight from my local fiberglass place. They shaped it perfectly for the headlight and I stuck in on with 5 3M sticky Velcro strips. It cost me 20USD compared to the normal 45USD+ for bike shop ones. It does two things...
