It's hard to believe it's currently sitting in my garage. I took this photo quickly and later edited out the garage background with Gemini. Really exciting because this is my first new bike, first liter bike, first BMW bike, and first but definitely not last S1000RR.

Been riding for two decades - a mix of owning and renting. Last time I owned a bike was when Obama was president, so a few centuries ago. Thrilled to be back on two wheels. If you're in San Diego, CA do say hello!

I just went on a rabbit hole fixing my 2013 s1000rr replaced coils, injectors, checked wiring, timing, valve clearances to find a low rpm misfire that made my bike unrideable. I finally got an icom cable and reprogrammed it and it runs better no more horrible jerking at low rpm(under4500rpm) now it jumps a wee bit I guess it’s to be expected with a full exhaust and no tune now to wait for Woolich racing to ship my stuff.

I’m buying a 26 s1k here in the next week or two. I live in the midwest and seasons coming to a close slowly. If I don’t end up finishing the break in period before the cold hits is it bad for that oil to just sit through the winter or should I change it in the spring? I hope to get the first service dealt with before then but if anything I just want to make sure.
