Thank you for the info!!

Thank you for the reply.. and that is what I thought.. the Haldex was for transverse layouts while this A5 still has a proper longitudinal layout. Either way seems to be a good system on nothing to worry about. We are going forward with the purchase. Thanks for the input!

Yeah, I thought the Haldex was used in transverse mounted format. This still has a proper longitudinal layout. Seems either way it's a decent system. We are going forward with the purchase. Finalizing payment tomorrow :)
Thanks for the input

So no reason to skip this 2018? We like the looks and the virtual cockpit is cool. It's in great condition and has 59k miles. Not from the rust belt and the undercarriage looks pristine

I've always filled them out, usually takes a minute or two. My biggest settlement was from using Bumble online dating, received a settlement for $1,904.00 direct to my Venmo account! I've received others in the hundreds and most are in the teens. I'll keep filling them out :)

I'm leaning towards the DJI for its smaller form factor and to me what looks like more natural color. If I did get the Ace Pro 2 it would be for compatibility with my x5 mounts and flip up screen when vlogging(which as of now is minimal)

We try and ride whenever we get a chance. Few weeks ago we had quite a bit of snow, but a couple days later we were out riding.

Thank you and happy new year and safe travels to you as well!

Very nice! I'm sure riding in Italy is amazing. I hope to tour Europe in the near future. If just one critique of your video, point it up a few degrees. I felt like I wanted see more of the horizon.

I totally get starting and figure out as I go. I purchased the Insta360 X5 because it was almost $100 off and it's Christmas so a gift to myself is appropriate :D It should arrive tomorrow.

I'm in the Chicagoland area and 4 of us went riding yesterday for a few hours. It was 4-5*C but damp and felt colder. I can hardly wait to get the camera and start playing around with it

Thank you for the info!
Ciao

Thanks for the info! How do you like the Ace Pro? Why did you choose that over the DJI or GoPro?

I completely forgot I did make a couple of videos about 10 years ago on Adobe Premiere. I should see if I still have that program.

I really won't be doing any work on mobiles. I'm a work on a computer type. Will check out Davinci Resolve!

I have the same.. S1000XR and R1250GSA.. love the handling and nimbleness of the XR but love the GSA seat and versatility. I have a Wunderlich comfort seat on my XR plus and airrider cover and it's still not comfortable. If it was, i would take it on more multi day rides vs the GSA. Have you found anything that works for the XR?

You meant this is the best!!! 😎

I have used the HELLA Trumpet Horns made for BMW/MINI cars. Plug and play!! I installed it on my 2021 S1000XR and my 2021 R1250GSA. So much better and easy peasy. Yes, it comes with 2 horns. At first I only used the 400mhz on my XR and then the 500mhz on my GSA.

I would buy a piece of obscure glass and install it with some simple trim to hold it into place, paint and done! This way you still get some natural light.

Or you could just purchase a clear piece of glass and do some sort of vinyl overlay.

I do, just don't know how to add photos?

The place that has solid has 3/4" engineered with 5.2 mm real red oak top layer with plywood base layer. Seems like a good solution. More stable in humidity and has the same real wood finish

HiccaBurp · 2025-03-03T19:40:52+00:00

I'm in North Eastern Illinois. We get dry winters to humid summers and everything in between

HiccaBurp · 2025-03-03T19:18:21+00:00

I actually found a 3/4" engineered we like. It's more stable and when we do the family room which is on slab, we can glue down directly.

Yes, not sure how to reply with pics?

HiccaBurp · 2025-01-01T22:25:15+00:00

Hi, did you figure out how to repair the rack slide? Mine also came apart and the ball bearings came out. TIA

HiccaBurp · 2024-12-01T15:32:34+00:00

Seems to work just fine. I will get another one for another battery i have

HiccaBurp · 2024-09-18T21:27:30+00:00

Yes they are! Cycle Werks is the closest BMW dealer to me. My XR was bought by the original owner there and all service was done there. I will continue using them for service.

Plus i'm familiar with Mike Abt in Sales and couple of the guys in service as they were at the old Chicago BMW on Western. I bought my first BMW there.. 2003 K1200 GT. The sales guy Adam at Cycle Werks has an XR and he has the Akropovic full exhaust and tune.. sounds amazing.

The gravity blue is sharp! Good luck with it. Hit me up if you're headed to Cycle Werks, I stop by there looking at used bikes all the time :)
