  1. Bird in the hand and all that.
  2. I use these or my custom fitted ones and often switch during a long journey.
  3. As I value what hearing I have left I wear earplugs whenever I ride. I've got various options; some are better than others.
  4. Have to say that I don't ever get cold legs on the bike. Maybe it's me or maybe my bike generates a bit of heat in that area.
  5. How the heck...????
  6. Unlikely to be insured not sure but I believe any vehicle brought into the UK on a foreign registration ( Dad bought a car in Ireland once) has a max of 6 months before it must be registered on a UK plate. So unless he SORN'd it its actually an illegal bike. Its also very unlikely to be insured.
  7. Can I ask how long the XCP takes to dry as I'm thinking of giving a quick spray when I collect my bike on Thursday? When I've had the complete valet service from All Year Biker I've been just riding off bit he does have a dryer.
  8. That is completely out of order matey.

  10. You couldn't keep up with her.
  11. The only time I experienced that was crossing the Severn Bridge in a gale. It was closed to high sided vehicles at the time but needs must...
  12. My son in law and I found that out when I suggested we buy one together but KT1300 doesn't fit either. Sadly.
  13. Bit bling.
  14. I had my hair cut today but I've so little left the wife runs a pair of clippers set to 6mm and it's done. Saves me a bit of cash.
  15. Removed all the bits I wanted to keep and cleaned the chain etc. for the last time! Hooray.
  16. Apart from the leather fetishism you could be right although the dreams are probably less delusional than they used to be.
  17. Nithering = bloody cold.
  18. Another question on heated grips (never had them on a bike before) - can you add grip puppies over them?
  19. Always zip together when there is a zip. Not so much from the safety point of view but more to stop the cold draft up my back.
  20. I went with Hastings on their "Premium" offering which offered me a few extra bells and whistles for not much more money.
  21. Winding up siblings is an honourable pastime and should be encouraged.
  22. I used to live near Lanchester. It's not that bad really.
  23. Exactly why when I'm up north I avoid driving in Newcastle if I possibly can. Sad really.
