Hi tobes Beautiful pictures! :D :D :D I used to live in L.A. for a year back in 1999 and i love the PCH. One of the most beautiful places for riding a bike :D Thanks for sharing! Ciao Vito P.s.: I'll be on a seven week business trip in the Fremont area starting next Saturday Feb.16. Hope i'll get a ...

Yeah, I understand now. But for some reason I think I should be embarrassed for not knowing that. :oops: @GypsyRR: From what i've seen this nickname is not common in the english speaking forums while it's very common in the german speaking BMW forums...so you don't need to be embarrased in any case...

Hi guys! Thanks a lot for all your positive comments :wink: @GypsyRR: Here in Switzerland we call the BMW motorcycles "Q" because the older BMW's haven't had the paralever bar on the rear shaft drive, so every time one hit the throttle the back of the bike moved up a little (like riding a ...

Hi guys Today i took the first ride in 2008...my Q was very happy to see the daylight again after her long winter nap :D Here're some pics: http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc45/Swissbiker/DSC03287.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc45/Swissbiker/DSC03316.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albu...

Thanks DJ Downunder for your welcome :wink: The 1st two pics have been taken at the St. Gotthard pass (elevation 2091m (6860ft)). http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc45/Swissbiker/DSCN0668-1.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc45/Swissbiker/DSCN0653.jpg Lake on top of the Gotthard pass http://...

You mean those...?

I have a German made stainless steel ZACH exhaust on my Q. http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc45/Swissbiker/obj_4915.jpg It's 1.5 kg (3.3lbs) lighter than the original exhaust. Quality, assembly and most of all sound are excellent :D Some people say this thing makes the Q sound like a B52 bomber.....
