A rear mudguard will help prevent water/dirt being thrown up over the back of the bike/rider. A rear hugger prevents all the same crap getting thrown all over the rear shock helping to prevent...
Morning Andy, welcome to the site.
Hi Scott, nice bike :D
Hello
Hi Karl, welcome to the site. Often ride through Malmesbury when out and about and going nowhere in particular on the bike.
Hi, I originated not too far from you in Kidderminster and ended up in Calne last year via 12 years in Pembrokeshire. Look forward to seeing you at a ride some day.
Have you thought about a Hayabusa? I have a 2005 fitted with Heli-bars, gel seats and full Krauser pannier and top box luggage system. Have toured France, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg a couple of...
I've done it for years. Not all the time - normally when I'm on a leisurely ride or carrying a pillion as I find it a much smoother gear change. As long as you get the revs right I'm not aware that...
Hi Keith, welcome :)
Well done on passing. Hope to meet up soon - I'm not that far away, only in Calne.
Have ridden bikes with plugged tyres in the past with no problem whatsoever. Had several such tyres when I was riding a VFR800 which is a heavy bike and a sporty ride. Tyres lasted to the end of...

Hi Kate, if you're enjoying the ride just keep going. If you feel out of sorts or it's just not flowing and enjoyable cut the ride short - everyone has times when it's 'just not right'.
Group riding...
Hello :)
Hi Ben, I couldn't make the ride today but hope to meet you soon on another ride. They're a good bunch of people on here. :)
Glad you're sorted. I doubt there is a single member on the site who hasn't had one of these moments (and you don't have to be a newbie!?) :D
Well done on passing.
Is the kill switch in the off position? Easily missed.
Congratulations on the pass.
Used Carson's Ride In Ride Out service yesterday. Phoned day before, didn't have rear tyre I wanted but they could get it next day. Told to come in the next day at 2pm. Arrived 20mins early and bike...
Hello :)
In fairness, some BMW models are known to have issues with their ABS. Maybe their brakes were malfunctioning which would cause an involuntary jerk to the head. :)
No need to apologise Mal, you've expressed a valid opinion and reason. The point of a forum is bringing together people with a common interest, not necessarily a common point of view. This is such an...
