  1. And don't forget to cover it up. I'm not that far from South Madchester myself and we have a similar problem.
  2. I'm sorry but you couldn't be further from the truth. I also think it is very expensive and its money I certainly haven't got. I am thinking of a side line of installing the kit but at over £580 just to buy would you then pay for someone else to fit it.
  3. I don't have a fantasy trip, but I would love to go back and ride the Timmelsjoch and Grossglockner this year. If we have to rely on the having received the full course of the vaccine before we travel, it would be August/September before I get the chance (optimistic)
  4. At a cost of 'How Much'
  5. its certainly surprising when you add up the cost of all the extras we add or changes we make to our bikes.
  6. BOOM
  7. The Denali Soundbomb is a great accessory. It scared the life out of my mate when he was conducting the MOT on my old Beemer
  8. Those Bees would keep me away too, but I love Honey.
  9. The cat would keep me away for sure.
  10. A) Touring: Always try and find secure parking - Disc Lock (Alarm type) and wire strop. Bikes also fitted with trackers. B) Never ride in London.
  11. Its certainly got me wondering how many folk would have a go at installing the kit themselves or would pay for someone to install it for them (like a mobile installer)
  12. I think its great when people have a go and make their own accessory kits. I have done it myself for several years. This time I'm looking at the Denali Cansmart, integrated with the Canbus system and utilising the OEM switches. Its a great plug and play kit, but I think its very expensive. Would people pay to have it installed on their Beemers and KTM's
  13. £583 for a pair of spotlights and a loud horn.......Ok, there's obviously more to it than that. The kit includes a Denali Cansmart controller, Denali sound bomb, Denali D4 Lights and all the wiring looms/kit and brackets. Is it all worth it.
  14. Thought I would put this on here first before it goes on fleabay. I have for sale a Genuine Eastern Beaver PC8 Power Unit. 6 switched live and 2 live. £30+ Postage? I had this on the Vstrom and BMW. I used it for running two Keis heated gilets, sat nav, on board camera & axillary charger.
  15. Hello. I used to have (still have in bits somewhere) a scottoiler, vacuum type on the V-Strom. Like you, I could never get it to work right. I already have a Nemo 2 on the MT07 that I use for commuting, I installed that back in 2019. A quarter of a turn allows about 3 mins of lube on to the chain, it isn't gravity fed, it is delivered under pressure, a quarter of a turn every 200 miles or as and when needed, depending on conditions. One full unit will last for roughly 2500 miles. I didn't like the idea of cutting into the vacuum or electrics on the KTM or MT07.
  16. Fitted Cobrra Nemo 2
  17. I use the Drift Ghost X for recording my commute. It has a loop recording and instant recording, and can all be set by your phone. Good battery life, good picture quality but not great picture quality, compared to the like of the Go Pro. A good plus for this camera - its small enough not to be intrusive like the other cameras.
  18. Similar to a misheard lyric - I don't read it like that.
  19. Found myself buying some Liqui Moly Fuel Stabiliser. Never used it before, always used the bikes over winter however, now I'm not commuting as much, I thought about adding fuel stabiliser to one of them. After reading several articles and listening to opinions on Utube, especially that fellow in Vancouver, I have decided not to use it. Anyone using it on here....
  20. It's on it's way. BP station near me now has as many charging points than fuel pumps.
  21. I prefer to plan my own trip and wing it, its far cheaper and I don't mind being on my own, or a max of 4. If I was to use a touring company I would probably book a self guided tour. Take a look on Mad or Nomad website there is a good write up about a self organised 14 day trip around the Alps. The author includes all the routes and hotels and links to passes etc. Some good info on there.
  22. Me too. I must have created between 6-8 trips/routes, anything from NC500-Normandy-Alps and beyond. In reality - Probably end up nowhere
  23. Me too.
  24. Without doubt it is a marvellous creation - IMO its rather fugly
