BMW K1200 feels unstable...

After 3 months on my new K1200GT, I can honestly say it has only been fun. Since most of my time on the bike is spent
with a pillion on the back (wifey) I am sensible most of the time.

I have noticed one slight drawback on the bike, when travelling at speed by myself with the screen extended about half way- I can feel the air pushing against the Top Case and lifting the bike.
I can only say it scares the living daylights out of me! I have not noticed this when travelling with a pillion on the back.

If you have experienced the same, please let me know.

Huge repair bill on Harley-Davidson Dyna Street Bob leaves owner furious

Mr. David Steel a fire fighter from Edinburgh was left dumb struck after receiving a bill for £2400 from his local Harley-Davidson dealer.

Mr. Steel’s Dyna Street Bob was bought second hand for a sum of £7800 in July 2007. When stopping at lights in Edinburgh the engine suddenly gave up and that was the last of it. Mr Steel then had the motorcycle repaired by the Harley dealer and was offered 50% of the cost from Harley-Davidson as the bike had only done 8400 miles and just gone out of warrantee.

Come on Harley-Davidson UK, pull up your socks and look after you beloved loyal bikers!
