I'm all good, thanks. I'm hardly ever on here anymore, but got a notification because I have alerts turned on for this area of the forum.
Great to see you've jumped aboard an RS - it's still my...

Welcome to the club, mate! :)

Blimey, mate! Sounds like a bit of an adventure! Some people would probably pay good money for those sorts of things!
Good to hear that the results have been positive, and I hope you go from...

Thanks for keeping us updated, Ian. Holding thumbs for a positive outcome.

It looks like the R1200RS forums are down again.
Can anyone else confirm?

From me too, mate. Such crap news, but we're all thinking of you and wishing you well.

Sorry that this is happening again, Ian.
We'll all be hoping and praying for another positive outcome. Good luck, mate.

Hey Will,

Sorry to hear that you'll be saying goodbye to your F800 Special.
Here she is in happier times :)

Could it be that any leftover non-Euro4 bikes are being sent over to the US because they can no longer be sold in Europe? And that only when they're all gone will the new 2017 model start being...

Not to mention that I've managed to successfully fit the expanding panniers from my F800ST on my RS. It looks a little weird from behind, as the exhaust cut-out is on the wrong side, and I took the...

Yep, I've said before that it's the natural progression from the F800 series for those who loved the bikes, but wanted a little 'more' of everything.

The only place where the F800 still beats the...

I just had my 12,000 mile service on Friday / Saturday, and the bike just gets better and better.

(I did have an absolute hoot ​on the R nine T loan bike, though)

Thankfully, my old ST panniers fit on the RS ok. The exhaust cut-out is on the wrong side, and I put some heat protection on the bottom of the right-hand pannier as it sits very close to the exhaust,...

Hehe! Thanks guys.
Normally we'll play her her lullaby from our phones, and it relaxes her, but the other night, we Skyped my sister and she actually played and sang for Elodie via video call....

I should have posted this ages ago. For her first birthday, my sister wrote and performed a lullaby just for Elodie. I set it to a video of snippets of her getting bigger, and I love the results....

Now this man is a true champion:

Whew! It was a great match! If only we'd managed to put a more pressure on the All Blacks and further disrupt their flow.
They were definitely the better team, though.
That photo of the All Blacks...

Agreed. This is why I have about 8 different screens for my F800S (and later ST). I should really get around to selling the ones that didn't work for me... ;)

I have the standard height tinted PowerBronze screen. It looks nicer than the stock screen, but the only real difference is that it doesn't have the little 'lip' at the top of the screen.
It still...

Congrats, Roger. It seems the RS is a natural progression for quite a few of us F800 riders. With nearly 2500 miles on the clock, I'm loving mine.

One chap on the RS forums has put on R1200R bars on his RS, and it looks like it would take care of your problem:

I'd agree...

Now that I've had more 'bonding' time with the RS (on a long weekend mini-tour to Wales), I can affirm much of what you're saying.

The stock screen was great for me in the lower position with the...

Amen, bother! [lol]

Yoda, where did you get the spray guard thingy? I've had a look on ebay and the few I was able to find were really expensive.
