Liveware Problem

Broken necks are the most common cause of death with riders. A £500 hat or a £30 cheapie is no protection against that.

And that's where one of these comes in..

Though obviously that won't make you invulnerable.

I don't like open face helmets and would never buy one. Does that help?

The petrol at the Esso in Buxton was 114.9 ppl. At the Moto services Lancaster it was 131.9 ppl.

Captive market!

I'm in there too

Proof that we had some Sun

I went there and back avoiding motorways, but then I only had about 125 miles to travel each way.

One of the things that annoys me is the inflated fuel prices at motorway services, easily 20p/litre above the going rate - at least on a and b roads you can generally find regular garages.

I agree about the middle lane hogging, and tail-gating, even when there's no where to move out of their way

I have a Kriega tailpack. 30l and it's modular so you can add extra 20l or10l packs. I use it as I don't like putting to much weight in the top box. Attaches securely and can vouch for it being waterproof! I bought it second hand to keep the cost down.

I have one of those too, good quality but not cheap!

Agree with all that's been said, Thank you all for a great time, looking forward to next year's..

Payment for camping sent, tent bought..

Can anyone recommend a decent, lightweight stove that doesn't cost the earth?

Yes mate it's certainly got a grunt

Put a home made baffle in to make it quieter and

Have some back pressure

Sounds sweet tho

I'm not mechanically minded at all, what is the purpose of back pressure?

Is there any video footage you can post up

 

yes.

I managed to crash on my CBT, grabbed a load of throttle and fell off the back of the bike which then crashed through the barrier.. Seems funny now but I was pretty mortified at the time

But there was no mention of paying for damage caused and I still passed!

You really got a rough deal there, good luck with the new place

Nice, bet it sounds good too with that stubby?

I'm seeing orange, is it red?

Looks awesome either way

Bit late but.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY

The Highwayman Inn

Thanks!

Eventually got it off, have pretty much wrecked the end of the stock exhaust!

Any tips on fitting a new one would be great

Hi, I'm trying to remove the stock exhaust from my Hornet, got as far as taking off the various bits of plastic and undoing the clamp that holds the silencer/link pipe to the exhaust system..

But now I can't get the damn thing off! I've sprayed a load of wd40 on to try and lubricate it, been able to twist the exhaust but I can't pull it up and off, there's seemingly not enough space to lever it off.

Any suggestions appreciated

So, here in Reading deliveroo riders have had 6 scooters stolen in 2 months.

Couple of days ago one was stolen, another deliveroo guy managed to chase them down and recover it.. And we know who the thief is, and where they work.. But the police don't seem able to take action.

There's a gang of about 10, always buzzing around on 50cc peds, irritating everyone. Scooters are stolen, then turn up later completely wrecked - they're just doing it for fun, the bast*rds! Must all be known to the Police. So frustrating.

But what can be done? Apart from having cameras trained on every scooter at all times, even then it'd be difficult to prove anything if the thief simply covered their face.

Oops..

I haven't had a paddock stand, but did purchase an abba stand a few weeks back, I'd definitely recommend it - very easy to fit and almost effortless to raise the bike up so that the rear wheel is off the ground.

Also you can get a front lift arm if you want to raise the front of the bike.

Sorry to hear that, many condolences Oasis.

Does your clutch or side stand switch not work?

 

It doesn't, I was surprised it wasn't picked up in its recent M.O.T. actually!

 

Its not something that is checked on an mot

I would take a look to see why it's not working as it could save you a little tumble

I should, I really should!

Apologies for

Something I've done far too often is set off with the side stand still down

luckily it hasn't caused me to crash but it easily could do. Now I kick it up as soon as I get on, and double check before moving off!
