    AAAAAAnd she's gone.....

    Well everyone. The MT is gone, sold, and the new owner has taken it home. Now there is an empty space in my garage, and I'm not sure when that will be filled by something else. Not even sure what bike I will get as a replacement. In the past weeks I have ridden: -BMW S1000RR, S1000R...

    Drove a BMW S1000RR yesterday

    Well, was that a completely different experience. It really made me see the strong and weak points of the MT-07. Ok, the comparison makes absolutely no sense as these are completely different bikes, but still it was an eye opening experience. First of all the seat height on the BMW is MUCH...

    First trip of the year.

    So I took the bike out for the first time this year. I parked the bike back in late October last year, not battery charger or anything, and 4,5 months later it fires right up without any trouble at all. That impressed me. The trip was cold, so it was not a very long one, I see I have to work...

    Anyone have Evotech frame sliders?

    I was thinking of getting these, but I would like to know the diameter of them. I wanted to know if I can put a gopro roll bar mount on them, I know the mount can handle 1.4" to 2.5" (3.5cm to 6.35cm) diameter tubing. Just wanted to know if the Evotech was within that size before I buy.

    Laser lights and HUD

    Looks like BMW intend to put the aftermarket light market out of business with its new laser light technology. Also a new connected ride system similar to what it has on its cars today, and a helmet with a HUD, this looks like a proper HUD, not just a tiny thing in the bottom corner like the...

    Cleaning / caring for your gear?

    Since I came off my first season with a bike since I rode a moped over 20 years ago I was wondering how to clean my riding gear. After some searching I found that the helmet is best cleaned with baby shampoo and left to dry for days. So I just ripped out the inner linings of my Shoei and...

    Driver hits bike on purpose

    There are some truly scary people out there. This thing from the US just appeared in local Norwegian media and I searched it up on YouTube. This guy "don't care" after he swerved into an overtaking bike because "it was a double yellow line"...... I am baffled, and get really angry when I see...

    visor treatment ?

    I thought I'd try and get some input from you guys. Yesterday I removed my Shoei GT-Air's visor and thoroughly cleaned it. Up to now I have mostly used alcohol wipes designed for cleaning glasses. But I thought it needed a good clean on the inside so I removed it. Cleaned using normal dish...

    First service done (1000km)

    So today I got my bike back from its 1000km service, almost run-in now (1300km, 300 to go). This service was not cheap (300€/220£), but I guess it's just something you have to deal with. Going in to service I did not expect much, oil change and some inspection items and maybe some adjustments, I...

    Ear phones

    Anyone use earphones, and which ones? I have a shoei gt-air helmet and I don't need ear plugs for noise, I have had no problems with noice in day trips so I don't feel that I need them for that. The wind noise is not an issue before I get past 100kph, and I don't go at those speeds for long...

    Pillion bag

    Well I never thought I would need to carry anything on my bike as I planned to take it on short trips and day trips, I was not planning on doing any shopping so why on earth would I need a bag? I have my wallet so I should be fine. Boy was I ever wrong. On my last day trip I was thinking why...

    Unable to log on with Mac/Ipad

    So just wondering if anyone else has this issue. I first noticed it on my Ipad, and the problem is that the top right hand corner is missing, meaning the fields and logon button is gone. On the left is the Register button. So I simply cant log on. At first I thought this may be a tablet issue...

    MT-07 vs fire truck

    Saw this in the news today and found it on YouTube. Not everyone lives after crashing head on with a truck, stay safe out there. http://youtu.be/AME8BzsFf_Y

    rear wheel stand?

    I wanted to get a rear wheel stand for my MT. When I was at the shop to arrange transport home I asked for one, but he looked at the bike and shook his head and said he had no idea, especially with the rear hub sliders fitted. Have seen many people on youtube who has these and when installing...

    Another Norwegian :)

    Hi. After a few weeks on the forum I am finally ready to introduce myself. I got my MT-07 delivered at my house today, can hardly stay out of the garage :) So I got this race red one that was on display at a shop in my area, I wanted a red one and since the -15 is no longer available in red I...
