Re: The All New Megathread
We got off lightly on the weather. Back now. Couldn't believe how many 50 limits on the M1, roadworks that went on for too many miles with nothing much happening. I thought they'd put a stop to that...

Re: Cam chain tensioner - no slot??
That's odd. I removed my '99 tensioners way back and remember that I made a tool (same as Suzuki's) to hold the centre screw against notches in the tensioner body.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
New boiler fitted over the weekend. No more nursing our old 25 year old Worcester combi. I'm hoping the gas bill will drop accordingly.

We're away for a few days up north, of course the weather forecast now looks grim. Had a wander around Knaresborough today and enjoyed what looks like the last of the sunny weather. Tomorrow we're...

Re: The All New Megathread
I faffed about for ages reading reviews, there was so much contradiction on the models I was interested in. I definitely didn't want a battery powered item or petrol mower. So I went to see some in...

Re: Stamford ride
I regularly get mid sixties on the Transalp. Amazing efficiency on these modern engines driven by the euro regulations maybe.

Re: The All New Megathread
No I didn't. I've researched a few online but I want to see them in the flesh and I'd prefer to buy local if possible.

Re: The All New Megathread
Not a great ride in the end. I thought I'd visit a couple of specialist mower shops which meant a lot of boring roads. Still at least it was warm.

Re: The All New Megathread
I'm not sure yet. As you know my range is limited so I can't go too far.

Re: The All New Megathread
Yesterday was my gardening day which ended with the demise of my mower. It's lasted over 30 years so I can't complain. Today I'll be out on the bike as it's been two weeks since my last ride.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Temptations! Why do you fancy a change? For me it's usually that the current bike no longer suits my requirements.

Re: CB650R with E-clutch
The E-clutch is an interesting idea and would help some riders with physical problems. BMW have a new system called ASA which looks very similar.
Also useful if you do a lot of commuting in heavy...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
I was travelling through large Welsh town a couple of weeks ago and the van in front of me decided 15mph was fast enough. We got overtaken by an electric bicycle.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
It was a bad decision in the first place. A blanket speed restriction doesn't take into account local conditions. I'm not against the 20 limit but it should be applied to certain conditions such as...

Re: The All New Megathread
It relates to the welding on a lug that the spring connects to. If it fails the stand could fall while riding.

Ironing done. Just back from the Honda dealer. My centre stand is not in the faulty batch.
