Jan steals my bike....


Second ride for Jan my partner. 200 Kilometer loop from Gosford down Wisemans Ferry Rd, cross the Hawkesbury River up to the Wisemans Ferry pub. Then to Berrowa Waters across the ferry there. Help rescue a girl push bike rider who face planted and lost half a tooth, was knocked out when we got to her and her friend. Jan helped her friend to get the girl off the road and clean up all the blood off the girl. I took off up to Berrowa Heights to call 000. 15 minutes later the Ambos turn up and cart the poor girl off to hospital. Jan found out the day next day that the girl did not sustain any major injuries.

After this sobering event we took our time riding back up the Old Pac Hwy to Gosford and home.


Jan gave me the boot.


On the road to Glenoire.

    Looks like you two had a great ride. I'll join you one day. Hope the bike is runing great now, its about time Buddy. Keep them good photos posted, we sorry people up north need some good reading whilst suffering from a bad winter attack. Yes I know the Wikings are hard cockies, but there is a limit of self inflected pain caused by snow and ice. :-) All the best my friends. Safe riding, Helge

Tuning 40mm BING CV carburetors for BMW motorcycles by ear.

Steve Doyle has put together this great and simple guide to tuning your Bing carbs. No need for expensive tuning equipment. So over to Steve...... Any feed back on this How To please email me and I will pass it onto Steve. There are 3 common methods to syncing the carbs. They will all work 1. Shorting the plugs. http://bmwmotorcycletech.info/synchcarbs.htm and http://www.airheads.org/content/view/216/98/ 2. Using a manometer of some sort. Carbtune, Twinmax or home made http://www.airheads.org/content/view/183/98/ 3. Using your ears. No comprehensive articles that I could find.. In the spirit of learning to service and tune at home and after lots of reading, I decided that for me the "by ear" technique might be the most useful, as it doesn't require any special tools and can be performed anywhere. There is no risk of electrical damage to the bike or the one doing the adjusting. It was very difficult to find a comprehensive description of the procedure, so using the combi...

ZS - The constant fiddle.

Why can it not be left alone? Why this constant fiddle? I can't answer this cause I can't stop doing things to the ZS. Added a pillion pad. Added a cowling to the speedo. Stripped all the stickers off the tank. Rubbed the rust back. Sealed the tank with Rust-oleum Clear. Made a tank bra out of leather and on old belt. To help stop fuel from affecting the clear coat when filling up. Used an old bum bag to fill the void between the tank and the saddle. Put headlight back to the original position. Bigger mirrors.

On a Sure Footing....

I love my BMW. More than any other bike I have owned. This doesn’t mean that it is not without its blemishes. Take the hair trigger sidestand. Known to fold up when an Alpaca herder in the Andres sneezes and the bike is in Australia. Many a BMW owner has found their bike on its side on the ground. Fairing broken. The sidestand has folded up into the raised position. Why? Because it likes to. Once the smallest amount of weigh transfers off the side stand it will fly up. Also if you have an RT type fairing as mine does you can not put the stand down when sitting on the seat. Well I can’t with my short legs. I have to clamber off the bike while holding it up right and then use centre stand. I don’t trust the sidestand. This Video shows how vicious the original sidestand is. Click on the play button. That all changed yesterday. I fitted a SureFoot sidestand . Moto-Bins in the UK supply these. They are of a very sturdy construction. Comes with full fitting instructions and 2 new...
