than here in our little corner of the net, and &quot;crap&quot; is a very mild term in that environ. &nbsp;While I haven't met him face to face, Anton generally isn't a bad guy - like anyone he can have his moments but for the most part I think that he is a very helpful and highly experienced. &nbsp;I may even be sending him a transmission to rebuild this winter.<br /><br />I'd advise to not get too worked up over it and it will all be forgotten in time. &nbsp;Anton L and Bob F spend alot of time putting info on their website to the benefit of many, and they may get a bit protective of the material in part because they put alot of effort into it, and in part because they don't want the info to be misconstrued/misinterpreted by being taken out of context --- I think. http://www.bmwr65.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1283626598/9#9 The Hopefully New And Improved But Still Unofficial and Purposely Disorganized R65 Forum/BMW Technical Q&A, Primarily R65 http://www.bmwr65.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1283626598/9#9 [quote author=6459546960575A52534C69010F69640003360 link=1283626598/8#8 date=1283980396]+1 on getting a bigger bike.[/quote]<br />+2 Im with Rob have a peep at this<br />http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=220665212384&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT<br />If you dont buy it i might, there was a R100 in Cumbria went for 750 a few week back all it needed was a push rod seal.<br />Lou http://www.bmwr65.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1283969769/5#5 The Hopefully New And Improved But Still Unofficial and Purposely Disorganized R65 Forum/BMW Technical Q&A, Primarily R65 http://www.bmwr65.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1283969769/5#5 May be worth checking the cross over pipe between the carbs as it passes through the Clam Shell air filter housing.<br />Lou http://www.bmwr65.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1283774444/4#4 The Hopefully New And Improved But Still Unofficial and Purposely Disorganized R65 Forum/Totally Off-Topic Discussions, Rants, Tire & Oil Threads, Etc. http://www.bmwr65.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1283774444/4#4 Son in law has just gone on a &quot;secret&quot;

The guy installing felt, in his opinion, that the rim was definitely bent enough that it wouldn't be round and suggested I get it straightened.<br /><br />That being said, it *feels* like 95% of the hop is gone with the new tire. The remaining 5% may still be the rim, or it might be me imagining the bounce. I plan on taking it up the local twisties (safely!) this coming weekend to verify, as that is where I noticed it the most before.
