thoughts on a loud snapping sound when starting the engine

Re: accident - NWC
Not sure that's so true now. I've had scooter riders admire the W650 and I've seen some very nice scooters. The vintage motorcycle run we saw in Belgium met up with a big scooter run for a huge joint

Re: Better source for luggage rack?
Ouch. I didn't know it would even be that much. I want to get the GIVI side cases. Which ones did you order? Some alternatives to that would be good. <eustisgary@...> wrote:

Re: FW: tyre wear on W 650's

Re: turn signal wiring problem
