thansk for the welcome

Post by koray »

yes this is excatly my bike , i have ABS( integrated ) alarm and imobilazer,heated handgrips , and helmet lock system but I guess these are standard options with my bike . Because it is new I am not much pushing the engine as per the manual it says not to exceed 4000rpm first 1000km and I hope it will start egtting faster after firts 1000. Kuwait is a great location for biking . you can ride almost 10 months a year but not in july august as it reaches to 55C. and about 40 after midnight. ( a bit hot here) but the rest of the year in partuculary in winter it is lovley . Long and large higways , but a small country you can reach the Iraqi border from the saudi border with 1-1,5 hours so if you missed the next exit you are in Baghdat.:) thanks for the warm welcome and I shall ask your expert ideas when ever I need know something about the new toy. Here in Kuwait there is a large expat community and a large bmw rider group , we are meeting every friday morning having group breakfast and riding arroud which is great fun . any how I iwll keep checking my messages and keep visiting the web page .

Get some mesh gears and cooling vests (the kind that you soak in water and then wear) and you'll be OK. Kuwait is hot (yes, I've been to that area before :( ), but it's not that much hotter if any than a lot of places in the American Southwest. For example, the Laughlin, Nevada/Bullhead City, Arizona/Needles, California run into the 130-F in the shade.
