Joint Statement between BoJo and Macron. No quarantine measures between Uk and France, at the moment anyway.

I wish I still had my BMW R80. Out of the eight beemers I've owned, this had the best engine and gearbox by far. I wanted a 916 until I rode one. Great looking bike, but I couldn't ride it any longer than an hour. (I wish I could afford one now, just to have it in the garage to look at or for track days ) Thought I wanted a CRF1100 AT, unfortunately I only got to test ride the CRF1000 - I'm not convinced this bike is what I want anymore. Before lockdown I was in the process of test riding another Beemer and the KTM 1290GT. I've always wanted a Busa too oooh if money was no object eh!

Good to see, clearing of the road. However, it might be a while before the schengen states allow us to travel.

Sorry, I have not read the thread correctly. I thought you wanted to install a charger i.e. phone charger I have an MT07 (2019) and fitted the optimate like the one mentioned from Sportsbikeshop. If I knew how to upload a pic I would, sadly, as much as I like technology, I think I'm a schizophrenic technophobe

Not sure how old your MT07 is. There is an auxiliary switched DC power outlet under the tank. Also you can get the bits off the bay .

I'm praying we can overcome this unprecedented tragedy and challenge from c****19. I too was/am going to the Alps in September. However, it may be awhile before we find out how all this has destabilised the communities we are/were about to travel too.

I would choose the best you can afford. My choice is fully comp with legal expenses insurance. I have needed it in the past

Hello and welcome I have the Schuberth C3 Pro and fitted my own Interphone comms system. No issues at all. However, I really don't know if it is any quieter than my HJC full face, it's certainly warmer and the fit is luxury. Purchased from Sportsbikeshop

Yep mine too and probably the same for many many others. Stay Safe folks

All understandable, I wonder if the Manx GP will go ahead

A decent rucksack. Almost everyday for the last two years I have been commuting on the bike, and this involves taking the laptop too and from work everyday.

George Baker - Una Corona Blanca Una Paloma blanca for the young ones

Could this be the work of the Illuminati

Sweet, nice bit of accessorising and a good bit of kit - Barkbusters. Good stock of Wobbly Dog and GT85, they should make that a deodorant . Only thing missing is the duct tape and the garage is complete

another alternative - wear two small plastic bags

A good drying day today! so I took advantage while its windy . Washed and dried the bikes, and then lathered um with ACF50 (again) I don't know if road salt differs anyway from year to year or where it comes from, but this year the salt seems to be ruthless.

Two pair of boots is a good shout. Altberg is a good shout too I've had many pairs that claim to be waterproof, but when tested in all day down pours, they leaked. After years of daily commuting I have become very selective when choosing footwear or any gear to be fair. Don't make the mistake I've made over the years, I've bought cheaper little-known brands and ended up paying twice! Do your research and good luck getting the ones you want.

My two penneth...Which ever you buy, try to buy Gore-tex. I have a pair of TCX Explorer Boots & Sidi Adventure 2 boots, the TCX are great, and far more comfortable for walking in. The Sidi boots offer far greater support and fit higher up the leg, but not as easy to walk in, like others have said, go and try them on

Not from Stockport, but often head over the Cat and fiddle to ride them fabulous Derbyshire roads. Next time were out that way, I will post something up on here

Wish I still had my 2000 Yamaha R1, the one in my profile pic. Stonkingly fast and a great handling bike. I thought this bike was the Bee's Knees in its day. The good old days when my neighbour had a Ducati 916, and we would often take off early mornings or late evenings up and around Cumbria and the Yorkshire dales. Oh and I was a lot slimmer then too Unfortunately being a complete techno-idiot I don't know how to insert a picture.

Another +1 for Oxford. Last year I purchased the Oxford Mondial Advanced Jacket and Trousers. The zip on the Jacket cuff broke (by me) however, the store I bought them from said they would return it to Oxford, fair play to Oxford they replaced the Jacket in less than a week. Not long after I had to return both Jacket and Trousers due to water ingress. Oxford were brilliant and replaced both items, no questions asked. Great Service PS Oxford Mondial Advanced Jacket 4XL and Trousers 2XL now for sale

Have you seen some of the sh1te the 44 teeth guys over on Youtube have had on the back of their bikes, unbelievable what they get away with.

Desperate measures to keep his bike, absolute madness.

I also think they are banned in Germany. I wear custom fit plugs and listen to music through audio intercom unit. I dont know if that it technically the same or not

Apologies I have no bounds
