Got heated grips fitted for the first time ever this year and have recently started to use them but still getting cold fingers, maybe it's time to upgrade my gloves - I thought that spending £50 on...
Broke my thumb several weeks ago after dropping the sprint at low speed, now well enough to fix the bike today. The biggest problem I had was the crash protector bracket had bent back and pushed a...
I've had mine today, replaced chain and sprockets over the weekend but didn't fully test ride it, got the rear disc a bit mucky so first bend this morning applies rear brake and not a lot happened so...
Speed's not a problem, it's the inability to stop or react when something changes... like someone swerving or changing lanes in this case. I also think he didn't do 148, the one following did that...
"Police said Mr Snook was following a blue car when he lost control and collided with the Transit van." From the news, where did you get the report of him colliding with the blue car - not arguing,...
Young biker died on Saturday at Longbridge Deveril just south of Warminster, he was seen close behind a blue car but ended up losing control and hitting a van head on. The blue car didn't stop and it...
I ended up having my MOT there end of last year as recommended by my normal MOT guy - he couldn't fit me in and it was close to xmas. Had great service and they explained what needed doing with a...
We seem to have to accept a certain amount of mud on B roads but now and again the farmers excel themselves and transform a section of road to being a death trap. I'm more than aware of what can lay...
that slick feeling of the gears after changing the oil, especially after putting it off for too long and the old oil falling out like dirty water.... :o
Also great when it's nice and shiney but...
They are easier to spot if you slow down a bit.... ;)
We went to Monkey World, was a great day out although a little frosty, she was cold and we bought some extra clothing/socks from the gift shop on completion. Sun was low directly in front on the way...
My neighbour (also bikers) stopped for someone between Westbury and Warminster who ran out of fuel, they were most embarrassed and were given a lift to the nearest fuel station - only another mile!...
Will be using the bike all the way through winter, even with 5 minutes at each end to wrap up it's still more fun than sitting in the jam jar :)
Very lonely out there lately and annoying amount of...
I've got one on my current Box lid and hardly use it, when I do I realise that some water has got inside and it needs cleaning so put it back up and squint instead...
I think Santa is bringing me a...
I generally nod to anyone on two wheels, to add another angle though I sometimes fail to nod to some, normally in dis-belief that they are wearing only a t-shirt, have their unfastened helmet sat...
Hope you had a good day, 50 is the new 40 which was the new 30. Merely warming up... ;)
I'm still the fittest in my Dojo's - which is a bold claim - still get knocked about by a 61 year old in a...
.... and the Wagon Wheels were bigger!
Much as I like the sound of the Sprint I do spend 2 hours a day on it, I don't think it hinders my concentration in any way, over 50mph I can't hear it anyway so won't get in the way of normal...
Another couple of ideas for the cooking pot although it sounds like you know what you are doing and have tried most things.
Take out bleed nipple and add some thread tape (plumbing supplies),...
706 :)
The thing I miss the most about being in a car (apart from warm and dry) is the choice of music, I've tried ipods and earphones but they are tricky with the crash hat and I feel may block noises that...
One of the biggest problems with adjusting is that a lot of the car drivers are doing the same thing and some of them are rolling disasters! Noticed it a lot this week with the clocks shifting,...
Add to that the inch of mud on most of the roads in Somerset....
Had a brown bike at one point and have taken to going through Bath to get to work.
They are probably all Chinese....
