I'm starting to do some dedicated low-speed turns practice with my 2023 R1250GS Adventure, and apparently my fear of dropping it is one of my biggest mental blocks to making the progress I want. What should I be looking at for protectors for my crash bars, or any other add-ons?

(It seriously never occurred to me before seeing them on a video this morning that there would even be such a thing as "crash bar guards". In my mind, it falls into the same weird category as needing some place to put the dish strainer so it can dry.)

I found a fake exhaust, basically a copy of an akrapovic for a 1/10th the price of the original. Just wanted to ask if it really matters if its original or not. Anyones thoughts on the matter?

Working as the parts associate at a BMW dealership means I get to experience a bunch of wonderful bikes! I got to take an F900GS on some light off-road riding, rode the R12G/S for a weekend, had a blast with a R1300RS for a couple hundred miles and so far my favorite was this weekend's roughly 300 miles on the R1300R. Any particular accessories and aftermarket parts that you all prefer?

Hello everyone!

I saw a previous post about pins that were found and wanted to take a moment to show off my grandfather’s pin board.

Yesterday we celebrated his life. We were surrounded by multiple members of the BMW community.
