    BMW Service/Warranty Options For Former Endras Customers

    The 10,000 km that was performed in the spring wasn't representative but from multiple 10,000 km services on my previous R1200GS I seem to remember in the $500 range. Although a valve clearance check is performed, they seldom need any work as the the engine design and manufacture is well developed.

    BMW Service/Warranty Options For Former Endras Customers

    I purchased a 2019 BMW R1250RT from Endras and had the 10,000 km service performed there early this year just before they went out of business. The bike is nearing the next service interval of 20,000 and I'm thinking my options for service and warranty work in reasonable distance are BMW Toronto...

    Endras Motorrad Out of Business

    As noted on the ADV Rider forum, it looks like Endras BMW has exited the motorcycle sales and service business. I was aware that their master mechanic Owen Clarke left last year. In my experience, he was very skilled and excellent at customer service. There seemed to be several personnel changes...

    "Close Calls".

    Couple of years ago in Oshawa, I was stopped in a line of traffic waiting for someone ahead to make a left turn. I was bunted from behind by a young lady in a Suzuki SUV with bush bars in front. I don't know how, but I stayed upright on the bike and made it off to the shoulder. She was clearly a...

    Ear plug recommendations?

    It was a few years ago and I don't remember but I still use them. The fact that they're still in use tells you that the cost per use is very low and there's no waste to the environment like disposables. I do remember that with some companies you could claim the cost or part of it as hearing...

    Ear plug recommendations?

    I had some custom made by the hearing department at Costco. Reasonably priced, worked well for me and comfy.

    Garmin Nuvi For GPS Navigation - How do you hear the turn-by-turn instructions?

    I don't use audio from the GPS or any other audio source for that matter. I enjoy the solitude of the ride and focus on the riding, hazards, etc. I occasionally glance at the GPS for upcoming turns or "is there a blind intersection over that upcoming hill?"

    Schuberth Helmets mini documentary

    I've had the C3 pro for a few years now and very happy with it for comfort and quiet. I use the chin guard and get loads of airflow through the top vent.....unless it's plugged with bug corpses. I once broke the internal sun visor where it attaches to the lowering/raising mechanism. I sourced a...
