Re: BMW recalls over 15,000 motorcycles - Autoblog

Thanks for the heads up. Just called and gave my VIN, it appears I am one of the unlucky who are being recalled. They said I should be getting a letter from BMW but I called and got my appointment anyway.

Re: Advice for first road trip

Congrats on your first trip. I just took my first long extended trip myself. I drove from NYC to Boston, with stops in CT both ways. Had a great time and learned a lot.

Re: New York City to Boston

Thanks Paul. Mohegan Sun is perfect! I don't know why I didnt think of that. I can even get a little blackjack into the trip. Is Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods better?

Re: Going to the dealer this friday to buy my bike

I just bought my r1200r there about 2 weeks ago. As far as deals go, there is a white one in the showroom that they will give a deal on, but other than that they dont budge much. I wanted black, and they needed to get it from the "inventory" somewhere else. There were only 2 left in their ...

Re: Picking up on Saturday.....

The "papers" required were:

License (m class obviously)
Valid Registration
Valid Inspection (NY inspection expires every year, not sure about every state)
Valid Insurance

if you didnt have all they took your bike for the weekend. and if you didnt pick up by monday, $20 a day at pound.

Re: Picking up on Saturday.....

I took the MSF course about 5 weeks ago and have been waiting for my road test waiver to come in the mail since. NY DMV tells us 6-8 weeks, which is totally crazy. Needless to sa...
