They got rid of the chat function too.

That's all I can remember. I can't even remember what it used to look like now

I'm pretty sure last time I was here you had a 125 and couldn't wait to get on something bigger? Thet chet room was utter rubbish!

Welcome back!

 

Forum has changed a lot. A lot of people have come and gone, with one or two flounces that I always seem to miss  

 

I think the last time I saw you was on a ride out with Phil Young around 2014? I was on a blue FZ6 then, waiting for my insurance to go down after a pair of CBR600s got pinched. Now on an SV650 as I spend most of my money on projects. What old bike have you picked up?

2014? You sure that was me? I do remember you on here. I've picked up an old Honda Varadero, long story but only bought it as my work commuter car had broken down and my mate had the bike for sale. Turns out it's not to be to be fair, just nice to get back on two wheels again.

Did you ever get the insurance sorted out?

Haha lol welcome back. 

 

Errr dunno. Not sure how long I've been posting for. But, insurance is expensive nowadays, that's like 80% of what people care about 

I joined back in 2009, been off 2 wheels for a while but just picked up a heap of junk to get back out on the road. Everything's too expensive these days. Is it still the same people running this forum? Good to see its still going 

Eeerrrrrr.....getting close to 7 years now

Haven't logged on for a bit.....did I miss much?

I'm wondering if digzy ever did this trip?

The nearest and cheapest hotel is the IBIS Neil, I'm sure they used to charge £30 for overnight parking, not sure if that's reduced if you're staying at the IBIS

I've been to Wembley a few times mate, parking is next to the stadium, I can imagine blue badge will get the closest spaces. It's closer than the tube station

If im not working then I will head up and meet you somewhere on the A272 before loomies, when you thinking of?

Funny this thread came up, the bottoms fell off my boots last week! I clearly spoke too soon, although I've glued them back on and theyre still good to go

Storm collar

Use some ear plugs, keep the wind noise away and its much more relaxing

hi how is everyone

 

I was planning to give you a comprehensive answer but, when I got round to asking the Vietnamese, I could not understand their responses.

So, to date. 23% of all those in the UK who answered are OK; 7% of French; 87% of Italians; those in the car park 'smoking area' are all OK; etc. etc.

Oh, and I am reasonably OK (does that count?).

You never asked me Al!

Tomorrow it shall mostly be slayers new album

I bought some Leeks in Aldi and they tasted fine!

I saw an alki in Leeds, he looked fine.

Read a book about a guy who rode around the world in a pair of TCX Infinity boots and then still used them for commuting when he got back........

My Sidi Black Rain Evo's are still going Ok at 4 years plus........although they're not so waterproof now......

Ive got TCX's and still going strong after 6 years of use all year round, very comfy boots too and totally waterproof.

I work shifts so have mid week days off work, I will keep an eye on this threat to see if Im free when you're heading out

Head East and get into Germany, better roads and nicer country in general. Im heading there myself on the 16th

Photos required

Time to plan a bike trip abroad..........

Hurt him

I struggled getting my Tom Tom Rider fitted to the ZZR. Needed two parts in the end, one bolt to fit in the stem that had a ball joint on the top. Then a Ram Mount that attached the sat nav to the ball, when I get a minute I will dig it out of the shed and take some photos

 

That would be excellent mate. It comes with a RAM mount so hopefully I'll just need something to fit into the stem.

Just so I know that we are talking about the same thing here, the stem is the bit in the middle of the top yoke, just below the ignition barrel, where I have a shinny chrome, domed cap nut. So if I understand this correctly, I replace that cap nut with something that my RAM mount will attach to. Is this right?

You need one of these......

And I may have a spare arm to attach the satnav to this in the garage, will get back to you asap

You couldn't make this shit up!

Has anybody riden at SPA? Just wondering if I need to book it as a track day or can I just turn up and do a public style session like on the Nurburgring
