Actually moved back to Clapham as the local thieving element tried to nick my bike a couple of times.

They did half-inch the battery. Bleeders!

Thames was nice. Saw that whale that made all the news a couple of months back.

'ello

When you get your bungs, bring 'em along to Frith Street one Friday evening and there will be lots of people more than happy to help you fit them

see the Soho Massive section for directions

Myself, I don;t rate R&G any more. Mine did a pretty bad job in a fairly gentle crash, I've no faith in them. ALso, the replacement parts were expensive. So I use Motosliders, which are pretty much the only crash bungs that the SV Rider forum recommends, they've been tested by known idiots for hundreds of crashes and I've never seen one bad response. Can't say that for R&G unfortunately...

Hello matey, welcome to the site.

I think enough's been said on the crash bung topic. However, if you're that worried about falling over due to short legs - have you considered lowering the bike? - quite a few people of shorter stature have done so, should be plenty of info in the Tuning & Tweaking section...

Welcome,
I recommend R&G bungs as well, saves the frame from damage.
