New Rider

Post by celticus »

I met a new R1200R rider at The Boone rally this weekend. I hadn't thought of this but I thought it was a cool idea.

Great Plate.
If the rear reflectors are put on with the same glue as the front ones it most likely fell off. Maybe BMW should get their glue from the US we have a company called 3M that makes pretty good glue. The reflectors on Harleys don't vibrate off and that's saying a lot. :roll: :roll:

Time to get a Harley, it's the only solution.

If you ask me taking the reflector off of the other side is a better idea. Neither of us eyeballing the bike noticed.

I forgot to mention that this new fellow had a nice looking Z-Technics windshield on his bike. The bike was black with the white stripes. Yes he was an older fellow. :)
