I just got a $1000 R65 so you can tell there's going to be a lot of wrenching going on, I live in Gilroy, California, USA, and I'm short enough that I rode the bike home by taking off the seat, taping two issues of the Mountain View Voice over the frame rails, and riding it home - it was actually quite comfy!


It will take me some time to learn to use this software here, but I hope this site will be a good resource for technical info for me.

Congrats on your new ride, even with NoSeat!  I understand the short issue - I had to have mine lowered before I could bring it home.  And please,  we all LOVE PICTURES!  [smiley=camera_sm.jpg] So show us yours.

I think you'll really learn to appreciate this forum - an invaluable resource and some great folks for camaraderie. So...

Welcome NoSeat!  I would have loved to have seen that ride you took home.    ;)

There's getting to be more of us from Northern California.  I'm just north of the Bay here in Sonoma County.  Someday we may be able to have a gathering of N. Cal. R65 riders!  

This is a great forum for technical info!  There are some very knowledgeable folks  here.  And if they don't know the answer they know where to find it.  

Have fun with your new to you R65.  The back roads in this part of the country are perfect for these bikes.

Welcome aboard, NoSeat!

As mentioned above, post pictures and let us know which year model you have.  Sometimes there can be a bit of a difference in trouble shooting between models as BMW was always modifying their design.

Off topic: Anybody else see the nat'l news TV blurb where high schoolers are now asking for prom dates on Facebook, etc? Whatever happened to social manners? Jeez.

Monte,  rejection over the computer doesn't give you that crushing feeling, but unless they go through an occasional rejection in real life face to face they never learn how to deal with it.
