  1. Thanks for advice all... Well he has paid and it's in my bank, and yes I will now say BANK TRANSFER only as it saved me counting cash and risking bob the courier sliding a few cheeky 20s for himself. End of day I have a paper trail of texts and ebay chats to prove anything. Thanks. Sad to see my bike go but I want/need a yacht!!
  2. This buyer from ebay, he hasn't done too much asking about bike, or who I am or to view the bike. Said he is waiting for a payout from insurance next week.. Would be into bank, so once it's in there it's in there.. Then he said cash would come with courier?? Something sounds dodge???
  3. Trying to sell my 2006 CBR1000rr. Mint condition. 26k miles. I wanted £4500, with expectation to be knocked down to £4200. Only now I have lowered it to £3350 are offers coming in. If I wait till Spring will I get more?
  4. £36 a year not bad is it! I will look into them, and yes good point on the wiring thing.
  5. Bike is a CBR1000RR - 2006. As you know, not a ton of space to hide things, so I would like a tracking system which will be able to hide somewhere, if it was small enough it could maybe go deep in the fairings? Ideally it will be able to charge from the bike running (so never needs messing with). Be continually tracked via sms or whatever latest tech is now via phone. Small and light with minimal wiring and set up. Ideally no monthly costs, just a pay as you go when you want to see where it is. Affordable (£100-150?) And the alarm similar, small, light, minimal, doesn;t have to be as concealed but ideally hard to get to and dismantle. And affordable (£100?) Any 2022 recommendations?
  6. Cheers all, LIDL charger looks ok, will see if they have it in local tomorrow.
  7. NOTED - ENGINE OFF - So someone said riding it alone won't fully charge it back up? I don't have a charger at the moment, obviously I can buy one but is a cost I could do without at this moment.
  8. Left main beam on Have read conflicting advice online.. I expect conflicting advice here. But is this safe to do or are car amperages too high for a bike. I have a 2006 CBR1000rr.
  9. Can you recommend any 'snug' and tight textile pants that are not like 1970s flares? And that also have good hard foam armour in the knee, hip and wherever else it may be needed?
  10. Good point, it's like RAW DENIM, you buy them and they feel like you are wearing 30mm corrugated cardboard pants, but you break them in and they create joints specific to you over time... I guess I could get lucky and maybe get a 80% match, but the ones I have tried feel like a 50% match to my body, I would look silly and would most likely put myself in danger as pants not allowing me to move right. Yeah might just look for textiles right now or as new as possble leather! Thanks
  11. Yes solely road riding, it's just finding a good pair of leathers with internal hard foam padding, they pretty standard?
  12. Tbh I want internal padding too, hips and knees... You know the hard foam stuff... I am wanting leather pants (I suppose for aesthetics as well as proper protection... I bought an RST textile jacket with hard armour internal inc back.. A lot of the leather pants don't seem to have internal padding.. I want the pants to fit like a glove and buying on ebay is going to be too time consuming, meant to be getting insured this weekend and now I am minus pants! Can't be paying £300 new at the moment.
  13. Ha, I have a CBR1000RR too... But still, just too much room around the knee, doesn't feel right, although I suppose it's about how they fit on the bike is it? Saying that, when you come off you do not remain in that position do you.... I just assumed they would be skin tight if you get me.
  14. Bought a few pairs of ebay now, my waist and leg but the hard knee sliders always seems to be either middle or slightly upper calf / shin area. What's going on!? I do see some people wearing them half way down shin but seems counter, are they not ALSO meant to help protect the knee area or just simply for sliding sideways. Surly these need to be more on the knee itself... Any suggestions on buying used leather pants with knee slides??? I won't be going on track, was more just for protection. Also none have been a super tight snug fit. I am a good size, medium build, not skinny not overweight. Can old pairs stretch? I just want a pair that hug me and have no loose bits!
  15. It is checked and asked.... I can freey take the bike all day long... They are insured for it.
