BMW is recalling model year 2008, 2009, and 2010 F650GS and F800GS motorcycles manufactured between January 2008 and December 2009.
During engine operation, a vacuum is created in order to draw fresh air into the canister. This air then mixes with the fuel vapors captured by the canister, and is subsequently combusted. Due to the routing of the ventilation hose, water near the end of the hose could be drawn into the charcoal canister.

Early Pictures
I have a request for all the viewers of the site. Please send me your pictures! This site is not just the Wing Nuts, but belongs to all of you as well. We get a lot of emails and comments requesting info and we do what we can to comply, but we don't have all the answers. I'm really looking for early club and race pictures. Mostly 40s and 50s. So if you can help, I'd appreciate it. I am trying to track down an early picture of the Galloping Goose patch from the 40s. It was triangle shaped. I've got a viewer who is really trying to find photographic evidence of this elusive patch. Any help would be appreciated.

An artist perspective by Tom Fritz
Wing Nut friend and incredible artist Tom Fritz has done what only an artist eye can do. Inspired by some shots I posted of Crater Camp, he returned to the scene of the crime to photograph the same shot today. I've been known to do this from time to time, but not with the precision Tom has. I now share his experiment with you.
The hill as it sits today.
A little magic overlay.
Another overlay and finally how the hill was back in the day.
Very cool Tom. Some of those home owning bastards don't even know that the track ran right through their house!
