30th GS Range

what wrong with my post

Which of your posts?
The one involving a pot and a kettle?

[Motu]

Automatic Stability Control - at last,a bike I can stop on without having to put my feet down! It's taken a long time,but finally BMW have made a bike for the shortarse.

TYRE PRESSURE CONTROL

Wot? it drops the TKC80s to 16psi when you hit gravel, then automagically ups them to 36 when you hit the tar again?

CHROMED EXHAUST PIPE

That'll get all the Harley fans hot in the crotch

ON-BOARD COMPUTER

I sit in front of a computer all day & ride bikes to get away from the damn things.

ADDITIONAL FOG LIGHT

What was wrong with the first one? Also, in NZ bikes are only allowed 1 fog light

OFF-ROAD TIRES

So not TKC80s then?!

Motu's on to it.

Yea - it's just a release off the news wires. I'll have another look.
Lynda proof reads the mag - the site is mainly blogs and it's easy to miss them when self-posting.

? What was the error?
I couldnae find it and pedantic wankery is a hobby of mine...

'Eloxy' is all I can spot on a scan just now - perhaps should be epoxy - but it's done twice and I don't know better to change it.

Col - On the sports models the pressure control is by blue tooth to the vales for letting air out if it's spinning up.

Excuse me while I wade through this wave of orange kool aid

[Oscar]

I wanna a seat with "a three-dimensional "GS" stamp in the side flanks"...


Just the seat - someone else can have the bike.
They don' like water...

So if you want the seat and not the bike - and I want the bike and not the seat, do you want to go halfsies? - I will even pay the freight to get the seat up to you

[Big Dave]

Googling 'Eloxy' doesn't yield any definitive answers other than it's probably correct.

I've seen a yellow one just like that! Eh Gunnyrob?

It was not a spelling error like I did on purpose. It was a factual error re abs

"At the same time the new R 100 GS was the world's first enduro to feature ABS - a superior safety feature now to be found on all BMW motorcycles, with the exception of the BMW G 450 X."

I think they meant R1100GS as i ant seen a R100GS with ABS
sorry for being a pedantic wanker but I live with-in 15km of my hero.
