Re: Ethanol E15 in US
My, there is some rubbish being quoted re fuels. Don't put Avgas in any modern car and certainly any bike you pay tax (ved) on - it'll not be pretty after many miles (and certainly not euro 3/4...... |

Re: Recommend a lens
Buy some L glassware (even second hand if tested) and you'll not look back. I also like ISM. |

Re: New Bike
Have a look at Honda's AT (2016). Awesome ride when I tried one. One non-stop grin, thoroughly loved it - even though I am way to short for it. Instantly put the fun factor back into a ride. |

Re: Driving licence codes
Yes, another brilliant gem from dvla. - When the web site was new (ish), I could only drive a lorry if over 6½/8½ tonnes (I forget which) ! |

Re: bt021's price
They're not poor value if they are half the price and they do everything else you want. But by far, the best rubber is new rubber - whatever. The second best rubber is rubber that behaves like... |

Re: Exhaust and the law
Legally - it'll be a design & construction issue. Plus, (strictly) it isn't permissible to modify an exhaust to be louder than the manufactures/vin specified level (on v5). Don't know about the... |

Re: Provisional Entitlement Question
It has been made a minefield by fiu-dvla. First Q/ Has everything been copied over from his original entitlements to his new licence? (They used to love dropping stuff off). Second Q/... |

Re: bike FM
Your commute might be a boring as that. But I'd always shout out against any distraction - and music/talk-radio fits in there nicely. |

Re: On the go bike tool kit
I've heard of being prepared but ... Somehow I doubt you'll need a fraction of that - assuming you're not about to tour. You may have one in either of your puncture kits (really?) - but I... |

Re: Bought a bike off ebay, loads of issues, what to do?
No comeback (you've got that by now!) But - fixable. Give it some extended TLC. Get the carbs off and see what is going on in there. Even if it hasn't been fiddle with, it will warrant a good... |

Re: critique. Should I have anticipated better
Oh, and just to say, there is NO excuse for listening to that obnoxious **** on the radio - there are other stations available for the short time R2 transmissions are interrupted. |

Honestly? Was that a gap you were leaving for her or just being in the way. Would you do that on a bike? Horn, but shorter. Absolutely no need for expletives - wasted anyway - and only winds you... |

Re: Air compressor fitting identity help
Look up a proper air compressor/fittings company nearby (I used Airquick for me locally). They know what is what and will sell you stuff that is appropriate and fits because it's their day job. ... |

All of the above. Stand your ground (offer payment etc.) If you feel obsoletely no option, occupy the paypoint until fully kitted out again - and don't bother using that station again. And,... |

Re: Recommend me a motorbike alarm!
All these three recommendations are the way to go. - I particularly like the rot. Don't wire in anything fancy - it *will* let you or another owner down. (Search any bike forum) |

Re: Complete electrical failure - Pointy.
Don't panic. It is all fixable given enough time/effort. If you want rid of the alarm then that could be a good next step - I'll never buy a bike with an add-on alarm that interferers with the main... |

Re: Video formats for head cams and the like
HD or even better. Definitely, if you can go for it. Let's face it, after the novelty value, more than 99.9% of it you'll ditch (or save and never use). When you need a frame or three you'll want to... |

Re: Road Rage - Do you?
Hoo yes. But it doesn't make it right. It does however make me feel a whole lot better and able to carry on more calmly. The odd driver knows they've done wrong by me, but generally I (try) and... |
