I think I'm in love.
Union Garage Tool Roll
Union Garage recently announced the release of this beautiful tool roll based on the BMW factory toolkit:

Beautiful and functional, but that is some price. Does anyone know if the nineT is going to come with a toolkit? I assume it is not. I'm in the market for one, but this just seems a bit steep.

Boys, you're buying a brand new high quality bike.
Within the first two years you are not even allowed to do more than filling up gas, oil and air.
So why think about tools now ?

for my R1200GSBoys, you're buying a brand new high quality bike.

My GS is 3 1/2 years old, 137'000 km and I didn't need tools there either..
Just ride it, all day, every day. She will appreciate it...

I wouldn't be afraid that it is and old bike when you come back.
To be honest: What do you want to repair by yourself ?
I don't expect that you will ride 3000 miles offroad in the middle of nowhere with a nineT. So there will be a helping hand/garage close to you.
So please: A little more confidence in this German masterpiece, gents !!

Thanks!+1, i can't leave home without tools.
And checked your hallockhill site Moto,.. very cool., ill have to go back later for a good look around. I think we have more than bikes in common.
NO you wouldn't!
Not BMW's Chrome!
you wouldn't prefer that!
I'm talking from experience. When I bought my 'C' from the dealer, I thought the previous owner was a bit of a grub (and that's saying something - I'm definitely NOT the world's greatest polisher, might have to change though with the R9T
) .... anyway, uh, well I tried to clean up the rims and the chrome was flaking off in chunks. It never occurred to me to inspect the quality of the chrome! Checking out all other chrome bits, one of the side covers the chrome had peeled off to the size of a matchbox and everywhere else it's pitted like ****. BMW's paint jobs are usually very good, and they're pretty good with aluminium (note the correct spelling here? Ha!) but their chrome is not only sooo many levels below US-standards .... it's completely useless! Most 'C' riders concluded that Euro-environmental regulations are to blame, which seemingly doesn't allow certain chemicals to be used which are vital in the preparation process and undercoating before the final Chroming.
... bit by bit I'm turning the 'C' into a rat-cruiser .... there are some nice examples I can take my cues from ....
shame on the 90s owner...
no original pipes, no original crash bar, scratched valve cover...
and not Daytona Orange
