Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Made use of the rain this afternoon to move all the shelves around in my garage. Thankfully I used twinslot uprights for them all so it was a matter of moving the brackets up, down or off to fit...

Re: Cadwell Park Celebration
I found my gaze constantly wandering back to the SV's at Kings last week every time I had to wait while Sandra did whatever she needed to do to sort my paperwork. The current model has so many nods...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I wonder if Kings will sell Hugh as quickly after he went in px last week for Bullseye. He's up on their website now - bafflingly they did not clean him before taking the pics... You'd have thought...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
The USB port will power the action camera until I buy an Innov dashcam. The power cables for the satnav cradle need a switched live and a ground, and on Hugh I used the horn as my feed (no...

Re: Suzuki Plaza, Hammamatsu
Interesting looking place and some nice pics.
The GSX650EZ was interesting to me as I had the 250cc version of it back in the day.

Re: The All New Megathread
Back home again. Had a lovely day out yesterday exploring the villages just upstream from Flatford (as in The Haywain) and found a very nice Tiptree Tearoom for lunch in Dedham. Lady Poppy and the...

Re: tighter or looser?
I'm with you on tightening. The Mundaneo I had with a LPG conversion did not have the lubrication unit fitted and all my clearances tightened due to valve recession. The garage lightly ground...

Re: The All New Megathread
Hello from Essex - visiting The Monkey.
The roadworks on the M25 around Potters Bar on the clockwise were a massive holdup. Miles of cones and crawling traffic but no sign of any work site, let...

Re: 2040 ICE (possible) motorcycle ban
This was inevitable really. They'd never miss a chance to screw us after doing the same for cars. I just hope future governments u-turn on the dates in the same way they do everything else...

Re: Sportsbikeshop visit
I've been to their site in Milton Keynes, but as it was effing freezing in late December I went in the car. It is quite a small unit on a retail park but even so I decided "looking round" would be an...

Re: The All New Megathread
Should have plenty of oomph, and so much better value than a cordless one, unless you already have the chonky batteries and charger. I've got almost 250 sq m of grass, and with paths and beds, it's...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Decided it was high time to give Hugh a wash and polish. Have not given him a clean so far this year so it was high time. Went for a spin this afternoon and found a five mile stretch of the A40 has...

Re: Stamford ride
If I do end up pulling the trigger on a P-Strom 800RE I'll let you know what economy the same engine gets in an ADV style bike.

Feeling manly tonight. The Freesat box started playing up last week and then we lost most of the channels - the signal strength showing nil on both input channels. I could see the LNB (the bit on the...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Just feel like a change really. Was looking last year but nothing seemed right - the Yam dealers near me never seem to have much stock, the TigerSport 660 has a horrible back end and looks stupid...

Re: CB650R with E-clutch
It's an interesting concept and I certainly hope other manufacturers bring similar to the market soon so we have more choice. I would quite like to try a DCT-style auto and i'm surprised it's not on...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Quite agree. On the flip side I was avoiding a traffic jam on Tuesday night and went a different route home and one of the villages I passed through was clearly campaigning for a 20 limit. Currently...
