Hi Tharon,  Good idea, I think the people who have developed these interface diagnostics have done an excellent job, with all the research and development that has gone into it I believe it is very reasonably priced as well as 1 year free upgrades from their website.If I owned an R1150 or 1200 GS and was going out the back of beyond, I would take this tool with me and a cell phone with the software installed and my trusty "Flukemeter" a can of WD40 and I think I could get home if the worst case scenario unfolded. I don't think I will take the adaptor with me when I venture out on my bike as I will never be too far from help and I don't think "Michelin Pilots work too well off road!  [ R1100S lacks suspension travel] But if you own a Beemer and you are off road this may be the" best thing since sliced bread ". Of course this statement now raises another question, If you have an enquiring mind like me then I asked my dear old Mum one day "what was the best thing just before "sliced bread". She just laughed and said I don't know.I have discussed this question with some fellow engineers were I work Air NZ and we believe the technology for mechanically slicing bread before being sold by the local baker may only have been around for approx 85 years!Can anyone help me with the answer????Hey Tharon you won't regret buying one of these tools.Cheers  Andrew
