If this is an answer.
The funny thing is that a load of things on the list have been promised for the last ten years and never delivered. So a lot of it is just delivering the overdue kit, not "new" ideas.
"In my opinion"
You cover everywhere except brakes, tyres, controls. Painted metal and plastic will all benefit from the protection.
As for applying it... By the time you've paid for a...
My advice for waterproof socks would be SealSkinz - completely waterproof (as in, you can stand in the bath in them) merino wool lined so they're super warm. I love them :)
(I don't own a...
Do you own a tin foil hat?
Neither is "best" they are just both different.
A decent set of heated gloves will keep your hands warmer than the best heated grips ever will. But only if you're wearing them
You can't...
I'd expect most bikes to manage double that amount quite easily.
Without knowing the exact bike it's impossible to say whether it's high mileage. A properly maintained (between services, as well...
The trick is Nooj - go to Iraq/Afghanistan in the summer and spend the day wearing body armour and carrying a gun and a load of ammo.
Then when you get back and go to France/Spain in the summer...
I'm guessing they're the R&G ones?
In which case -excellent choice and fantastic VFM
(If they're not, then I'm sure that Nooj has picked something equally good)
My advice - is don't.
Get a trade/job/career that pays well and work on bikes in your spare time for yourself.
Alternatively - before looking at an apprenticeship, check out the jobs sites...
Thanks Dex, that's very kind of you and much appreciated.
I have quite a lot on my plate right now (Rospa retest and leaking clutch cylinder), but I really appreciate your offer and will bear it in...
I've had scottoilers on my last two bikes.
Fitted by me, setup by me. There is a small amount of oil gets on the rear of my number plate but certainly nothing on my clothing.
The majority of...
I loved the 24 hour ferry (santander to Portsmouth) when I came back from my Pyrenees tour in July.
Mind you, it didn't hurt that we were in a Commodore class cabin so we got to sit on our...
Glad you got it sorted :) I would have offered to help, but I'm in the desert!
have you got a pic of the seized in bolts to show what the access to them is like please?
Do you mean getting the heated grip off the bar, or off the twist grip?
I never bother taking heated grips off the throttle tube as it tends to knacker both in a lot of cases. I just replace the...
The coffee machine inside GW's made nice coffee and it only cost 20p a cup :)[/quote]
I've never paid for a cup of coffee in several years of going to Triumph. In fact, whenever I fancy a coffee...
;D
I'll have to ask him - I'm sure if I tell him you said it would be ok he'll be fine about it ;)
(I might have to call in wed or thur and harass him)
Now I wonder if we can get JJ to give me a decent super special, winter WB, RBLR discount on the 12k service for my Tiger 800......
Too true.
How free is "freedom"?[/quote]
It's free Jon, everyone has it, along with rights, we are all born with 'it'.
However, governments and dictators like to take it away, and...
Expensive!
Although, Dubya's does have them with about £3k of kit thrown in free at the moment. So I guess they're not exactly flying out of the showroom...
Wow. I killed that topic.
I'd say it's the safety pin from the bottom of a trip flare.
After you fit the trip flare to the stake, you cock the striker, attach the trip wire and then remove the pin before you walk away. The...
I've got a stud extractor set (external - not a drill in like ez-out) that tends to work for most things
If you want I can call round with it and see if we can get the stud out?
PM me if you...
Ah the joy of the military and it's way of doing things....
The RAF made around 900 people redundant today.
It had 650 people apply for redundancy, of which it chose 410 to make redundant.
