sold

sold my old two stroke bike(T500k) and bought a W800 as a replacement.

I had but soon sold. it was gutless one of the worst bike I've ever own. to be truthful it was a bag o'shyt. couldn't overtake a little ford fiesta. don't buy it mate.

it’s very old tech that was great at the time. But a £50-£70 motorcycle jacket. Seriously? Take off all the extra costs involved in getting it from China to your hands and you’re buying a £12 garment to trust your skin to. just because I said they tend to be around £50/£70 doesn't mean I'll buy one. my current jacket wife inc is oxford Montreal .it still in good nick. not been worn that much.bought it just before the pandemic so it probably has about 6 continues use. the shoulder flo pattern has faded a bit other than that its still looks new. anyway thanks for the input.

I'm in a bit of a spot here(wide choices). the reason why is that cordura jackets are 100% water proof according to the adverts. textiles are only shower proof but if water proof spray on it make it more water proof but not 100%. a lot of cordura jackets on ebay tend to cost around £50/£70. I don't think I've ever had Cordura jackets mostly Textiles. have any of you worn a cordura and are they really 100% waterproof.?

have anyone got these and do they keep your hands warm. got handle bar mitts but don't like them.

I've got oxford Toledo jacket and Montreal trousers . so far so good but not got caught in any real heavy down pours.

on Oxford products what does 1.0,2.0,3.0 mean? better quality or better water proof?

oi bugger lugs is what got called as an apprentice

typical of insurance they like taking money off you but pay out.they fight tooth and nail to keep it.

opinions. thats what we're for. won't know or learn other wise.

I wash my jacket in the washing machine with a small amount of detergent last year. have I buggered it up water proof wise. thinking of washing it again but using Nikwax wash and spray on w/proofing .or is it to late??

jacket. wife and me both have this jacket. not been tested in the rain as yet. so we don't know how water proof these jackets. can any one on here vouch it is water proof as manufactures states? I ask recently about over jacket but I question myself do I really need one if these are water proof?

not only that salt on the road. no way I'm going to ruin my bike for the sake of it.

got this delivered a couple of weeks ago. not ridden it yet to coooold.lol m/bikes for me are passed.getting sick of numb bum syndrome. this a m/bike with a scooter body on.

OK guys thanks. I'll look into these links.

try as I might I cannot find a water proof light weight over jacket. the one I'm looking for is that you can fold or roll into a small bag. all I can find is the ones with lining in. which I already have but to fat and take up to much space. any ideas??

well I've finally got it sorted tried another web sight which inc no claim protect. didn't bother with legal protection or breakdown cover cost £114.61. thats the cheapest I've ever had insurance.lol thanks for your replies its interesting to read what others have to say.

why is it such a pain in the ass doing these on line quotes ,not interested in riding some one else's bike nor overseas riding. never inc no claim protection etc. tried ringing never get through .sorry line is busy try later or they make you wait. why can't things be simple like the old days full comp is FULL COMP not full of these add on's.

E10 gas has a three-month shelf life maximum. I put fuel stabiliser in my tank and always full to the brim. not had problems so far. on my old bike I changed the fuel lines that are e10 compatible.

thanks
