  1. Can't you bump start it?
  2. 1st tyre was about half worn when I bought it. 2nd tyre, a Continental, good brand I thought lasted about 1500miles 3rd and current tyre, Mitas or something 4th Bridgestone coming up. I put it down to a heavy bike, 230kgs I think, puny 150x13 rear tyre and me riding it pretty hard.
  3. Took the rear wheel out of the silverwing ready for another new tyre, 4th in 2 years and 13000 miles. Trying a Bridgestone this time.
  4. Not today, but yesterday however the rain precluded any pics, an engine less Mini. One of the son in laws had a suitable 1275cc engine which was convenient.
  5. Silly young woman on a road near home today. Went to work in the M3 to pick some things up, nearing home on a side road, goes to overtake a parked car when said woman just pulls straight off her drive behind the parked car and near craps herself when she sees the BM about to drill the side of her car. We both stop and she reverses back onto her drive without any apology and I drive by, watched her in the mirror and she hoons back out into the road and gone.
  6. I have a GP100 engine if any use?
  7. Does it have a V5?
  8. What about comparing a dual carriageway and smart motorway? Same speed limit , no hard shoulder. I think driver behaviour has much to do with crashes; not paying attention and following too closely.
  9. Buy an R1, 177kgs dry weight with 150hp compared to the zzr at 196kg and 100hp
  10. Happy birthday to @Trace and to my Mrs aswell.
  11. You are welcome, had a few meals there. They have a few tables next to the canal, would expect it busy at the weekend's so choose your time. This is also next to the canal in Braunston. https://www.admiralnelsonbraunston.co.uk/
  12. That would be the New Inn at Long Buckby wharf.
  13. Watched a 2006 episode of Grand Designs last night and the couple spent £1000 on a kitchen tap.
  14. I have a still ready.
  15. Q5 should include; Carry on riding your existing ic bike until they stop making petrol.
  16. Model T Ford? Austin 7?
  17. Same here, the whole reason I bought the silverwing. I've done 3000 miles on it since the MOT last September , compare that to probably a couple of hundred on the R1in that time which I also haven't ridden since November .
  18. Rode home in the snow which is a first for me.
  19. Snowing here, typical bank holiday weather...
  20. Indeed, I think I'd crack under pressure ....from a six year old.
  21. It would be like the Spanish inquisition. Why, where, how, who, let me look?
  22. The eldest grandson wouldn't forgive me as he knows he is going to inherit it . You never know it could be worth £20k one day, RG500s are up to £15k now.
  23. On my RGV once at Jack's hill cafe, bloke came up to me and he was all over it saying how much he liked it, etc etc, he then said these are worth £30 to 40k. Hmmm, don't think so.....
  24. Putting all the bike gear on. My winter commuter clothing is; Trousers, 3 zips,1 press stud, 4 Velcro bits Boots, 2 zips, 2 Velcro Jacket, 2 zips, 1 press stud, 2 velcro, Helmet, 1 strap Gloves, 4 Velcro
  25. We watched the summer and almost winter solstice sunrise last year from Avon Dasset country park. We were lucky with the weather in June, a slight gap in the clouds at sunrise was short lived and 10 mins later it was clouded over. The December event was held a day earlier as the actual day was a total washout. You can always rely on the British weather to try and have you over.
