Planning on being at the Lone Star Rally again this year. Looking forward to meeting other Texas Rocket captains. Paul, I'm just up the road in Seabrook.
Mine is a Red and Black '06 classic. Should have my Beetle Bags by then also! Got my Bike at Gulf Coast BMW June 2006. Never got a loaner for service. I'll have to try that next time. They have always taken care of me though. They should. My 10,000 mile checkup last month was $714!. 4 hours of labor for the 10K checkup and 3 hours for the valve clearance check. They had to put in 8 shims. Parts list shows a gasket for the tensioner, so I think they tightened the cam chain as well. Also had the oil change, fuel cap recall, and ECU remap recall done as well. A little concerned the valves took that much adjustment at only 6800 miles.
Bike is quieter and has more power. Vibration at 3000 RPM is still there, but much quieter now. It has a better growl at 4000-5000. OK, off topic a little. Sorry.
See you at the rally. Watch the trolley tracks on the Strand!
