BMW K1200RS

Bought this bike second-hand in Oldham. Everything seemed OK at the time, however, on the 180-mile run back down the A1 the rear brake was binding.

When I stopped at Letchworth I could smell burning and looked down to find the back brake and rubber shaft-drive boot literally on fire.

Over £600 of repairs later the bike's fine. The next time I suspect a brake's binding I'll get off and inspect it!

I'm looking forward to both touring and commuting this bike in 2003. Watch this space.
