Couple of tours and you will need a touring bike

@DuRavary thats it! thats who @DR1 is/was/whatever! It was also him that made me restrict editing to everyone to 30 mins doe to him spitting his dummy out and editing posts as he didn't like the replies

ffs! I am getting on a bit now I can't remember the old name! bear with......

Ah yes! No @Mr Fro that's not him

Lost me on that one!

It's you that's unacceptable! Someone disagrees with you and all hell breaks loose! You could always spit your dummy out and leave again then come back with a name change but still be the same obnoxious person you always are

UK RAISES ALERT LEVEL The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent Russian threats and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. The Russians have been re-categorised from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada. The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s Get the bast*rds” The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability. They have also started wearing their reversible coats. Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.” The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.” Belgians on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels. The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. Australia meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation.

I'm on it!

Got all geared up grabbed the bike key out the cupboard opened the garage unchained the bike pressed the ignition button (keyless ride) the light flashes on the dash to say its looking for the key and nothing! try again and again and again and again still nothing! Pulls the key out my pocket to move it closer which is at that point I realised I had the wifes spare car key Swapped the key all good Locked the house and garage up bike all running earplugs in helmet on get on bike wheres my gloves? In the house upstairs in the cupboard where I keep all my gear Finally got out and had a decent ride on mostly dry roads, got up to seaways the heavens opened it soon passed and dried up with the help of the wind! Had to wash the bike when I get home!

This is true but I can't see them trawling forums for evidence also the poster could be any one of the thousands of bikes stolen each day in London There is no info to suggest that this post is a real person or who the person actually is There is nothing publicly available that links usernames/email addresses so insurance would really be clutching at straws

For what reason?

Not drinking And its not a school night for me

Sorry! That was a lie!

Standards and @Six30 in the same sentence Should this be in worst joke thread?

Sorry bob but not everyone is mechanically minded and knows how everything works! if that was the case there would be no need for mechanics and a yearly MOT Thats why we have this forum to help people out and educate them on how things work and what they are for etc etc Lets not berate members for their lack of understanding but help them understand

Hi and welcome to the forum By the looks of it they are just the breather/overflow pipes Not sure how or why they have been dragged out like that though! The normally route down by the sprocket cover and in to a bracket under the bike in the middle roughly in line with the side stand

Hi Tim and welcome to the forum What do you mean by "What you can get away with" Are you talking noise? or looks

I don't think the question was asked if you are saving the photos for self pleasure I reckon the requester wants to do that

Thats a lot of money to go towards your full bike test and a new bike and probably change to get a car

Is it just me thinking WTF is Dan Dan PS good job on avoiding an accident

looks more of a prototype to me!
