Back peddling again I see I never mentioned law

So on that analagy because its not governed by regulations its not important! What a load of tosh! Im not saying everyone wears zip together its everyones own opinion but stating its not important is a massive statement that is just totally wrong! Having whitnessed first hand a crash and a long slide on my back where the leather jacket rode up and wore the inside of the jacket and the zip holding the jacket and torusers together to the point where I had to cut the connecting zip as it was so badly worn that it wouldn't come undone I will always zip togather and I will always recommend to wear zip together clothing But as clothing is not governed by regs its not important is it To the OP buy what you want and be carefull of what advice you take as some of it is just peoples opinions! they aren't always right despite thinking they always are! There is nothing wrong with having as much protection as you want. Its best to be well protected and not need it then not protected and need it The type of crash will always dictaate the protection you need but every single crash is different

Boots gloves leathers jackets trousers back protectors are all great safety features but not mandatory

There is no law in how you crash and how you slide! Just one small example where a rider is sliding on his arse feet first which could easily be on his back

Actually its to stop jackets riding up in a slide

Hi and welcoem to the forum No you would be fine The only roads you can't use are M roads ie Motorways Just a heads up if you didnt know that if you are traveling between different work places then you need business insurance! your policy will only cover you to and from a single place of work

Happy birthday

Bump!

I'm putting me down as a yes! Not sure on if I will be camping or hotel yet though Don't think the missus is going to be coming though

Loads on the pads! The tyre should have been replaced 500 miles ago

Hi Rob and welcome to the forum

Fitted a front and rear camera system yesterday Took it for a "test ride" today as you do I can't post the video The quality isn't too bad but might need a bit of tweaking on the exposure settings

Just been out to measure it for you its 3 inch in length about 7.5cm

I have one of these along with various other gauges and they all read the same so I recon they are all accurate https://www.halfords.com/pressure_gauge

I use a set of mercury custom plugs and like them Not tried Eggz but a lot of people rate them

A lot of insurance companies now allow some modifications without having to declare them These companies usually supply a list in their policy documents

Good to see you back

It's all downhill from here

In situations like this the best thing to do is to re trace your steps and check your work

Thanks all. Started the day off with a breakfast run on the bike with a mate

Hmmm! That's a mess

Well if you are going to be doing any sort of touring you need a new bike Also if you are off to the seaside you need a new bike and if you are going for rides you need a new bike

I can highly recommend Halfords Pro tools Mine have been used and abused over the 15+ years of owning some of them and only ever had one hex bit break! and that was because I had it on a breaker bar with a scaffold bar on the end of it! It was replaced with no arguments As has been mentioned JIS screwdrivers are a must if you are having a Jap bike as Philips screwdrivers don't sit in the screws and will just chew them up

MOT passed today with flying colours
