I did much the same miles, Norwich->Cromer->Hunstanton->Norwich with some wiggly bits in between here and there Pacific Rim was a visual overdose in IMAX 3D, not much of a plot (as expected) bit wicked monsters and robots

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread
I love going out early - the roads are nice and quiet and it doesn't spoil a day at home with the family
Quite fancied Pacific Rim but I assumed the usual too much flashing lights and hard to see what's going on most of the time! Must be getting old!

The only issue I have at the moment is the gearbox, there's a false neutral between 4/5 and/or 5/6. Generally only happens when you cane it but it's pretty annoying! From what I've read it is fixable but I need to speak to KTM about it. |

If it's anything like my bike the gear lever does need quite a bit of movement (motocross thing)...you can rotate the lever on the spline one or 2 notches to help if it's like mine...

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread
Anyone know of a good shoe repair shop which can re-sole bike boots well?
I'm be in need of some new boots soon as my soles are almost worn through....the leather part is still great though so I'm wondering if they can be saved....anyone got any recommendations? They're Daytona Toron XCR's

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread
I had the same issue recently Mark - couldn't find anything online so went mad and bought a new pair of Sidi Vertigos from Bowers in Bury St Edmunds - the nice lady gave me 10% off so they cost me £205. As I was there on the bike I just left my 7 year and 40,000 mile hard worn Oxtars for them to put in the bin - in hindsight that was probably a bit silly! The DRZs metal moto-x style pegs had killed the soles though
ETA: The Sidis have replaceable soles so hopefully I wont have the same issue next time

edit: Just found a discussion on resoling daytona's, £60 and 4 weeks so I'd need another pair whilst I wait anyway...shoecare in Norwich apparently does resoling of bike boots though...the only worry is that I think the Daytona boots have a steel insert in the soles which a cobbler wont be able to provide

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread
It looks like quite a few are - not found a definitive list though.

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread
Well hello stranger, how are you?
I'm good thanks! You have a keen eye, I only popped in for 5 minutes to see if anyone was going to Hartford Marina tonight. But I guess not! Would be really good to arrange a meet...xx |
