BMW, a German automotive company, is now using the innovative function elements of German laser and electronics specialist, LPKF. The handlebar grips of modern motorcycles are masterpieces: Numerous functions are arranged ergonomically within a tiny space. And reliability must be guaranteed under unfavourable weather conditions, when using thick motorbike gloves, in hot and cold temperatures. The BMW Motorcycles division meets this challenge by using LPKF-LDS technology for the development and production of MID electronic components. A moulded interconnect device in the motorcycle handlebar grip is the interface between driver and machine. The mechatronic sub-assembly consists of several connectors and 14 push-button and other electronic components on the surface of the MID. "This reduces the number of separate components, without compromising the extremely high quality standards.

When we met, I learned that we shared Car Talk, BMW motorcycles and a peculiar sense of humor, and the rest is history because I fell for him (at that time, the only extra vehicles were one Saab and the VW bus). Thanks for your help! Beth TOM: Gee, Beth, it sounds like a pretty harmless hobby to me. I mean, some guys use their free time to go out drinking or carousing. RAY : Or look at my brother's hobby: collecting food samples in his beard. .

At 5'6', BMW's R1200GS Adventure or KTM's 950 R Super Enduro, both in standard trim, are definitely out of my reach. But there are ways around the problem. If you can't adapt to the bike, the bike will have to adapt to you. And this means lowering the thing. One way of lowering your bike is to lower the suspension. Most modern motorcycles get adjustable preload on the rear shock, which means you can lower the rear ride height by reducing the preload. Like all dirt bikes, my Honda CRF250X was super-tall and I kept running out of leg off-road and falling off (that's my excuse anyway). So I took some preload off the rear, lowered the forks in the yokes, and the bike now feels tailored to me. And it's not as far to fall now! However, it's important to alter the front and rear evenly or you'll change the bike's geometry, which will affect handling.
