You’ve also got to think about clearance for the fairing. Those clip ons and yoke will have been designed for the fairing or vice verse. Just bare that in mind @Simon Davey I think after more hours in the saddle you’ll be ok. I think you are just very rusty.

Have you tried eBay?

Grip the tank with your legs and keep your arms as relaxed as possible. The bike will balance itself and all you need to do is push the bars to change direction. Try to keep your forearms parallel to the road and only very lightly grip the bars (more resting your hands around). This should improve things for you.

Looked more like he was replying to a post on TMBF than asleep.

90º is plenty. Lifesaver is only to make sure no one is alongside you in your blind spot. You shouldn’t need to twist right round.

…and I thought this was going to be a more interesting topic!

I imagine the brothers were already known by the po po and they were all on first name terms. Would be nice if we could all protect our property like that though…

We already have those stations, and maybe more will appear, but the amount of real estate they will need to store the tanks will be massive. There will be a high probability that you could get to a station and there are no full tanks ready to be swapped over.

So every single filling station will have to stock these swappable fuel tanks? Looks like they will take up a lot of space. I’m all for hydrogen fuelled vehicles and always have been, but they will have to eventually make those tanks a lot smaller to make this direction for bikes more viable…

You should leave it connected permanently. The optimizer will charge and discharge the battery in a cycle and keep looping until you disconnect. This will keep the battery in tip top condition. There should be some instructions with it

Bet you’re glad you bought the suit. Have you tested it in the wet yet?

Can you get someone to video you getting in and out of your gear without you unzipping them? I’d love to see that P.S. You are supposed to unzip them to get them off

Do you have the Mute to go inside? This gives you an extra 5db noise reduction. I settled on the Loop’s after trying loads and loads of different ones over the years.

biker’s bum sounds much better than builder’s

Always, matching

It’s not that clever yet. From X

You should be giving out presents to kids that come to see you in your grotto at this time of year Kevin.

Hopefully it will save you some dosh. Let me know.

I sold my Rukka suit to peepae but as I was getting it ready to go in the box the front jacket zip broke!!! I contacted Infinity Motorcycles for some advice on where I could go to get a new zip fitted. They told me about Hill4leather. Who do repairs for Rukka. I contact them and asked for a price. £86.40 for a new zip and posted back to me. I asked for a lead time and the guy said about a week. I contacted peepae and offered to refund him, but he was happy to wait.. with a deadline, which was understandable. Anyway, sent the Jacket off 24 tracked last Wednesday and received it back today with a genuine Rukka zip all bonded in and the stitching is immaculate. It looks as good as it came from the factory. I can highly recommend them for any textile or leather repairs. 1st class service and the suit is now winging its way to peepae. https://www.hill4leather.com

As above. Big bucket of hot water and a sponge. Couple of big buckets of clean lukewarm water to rinse. You can buy waterless wash for cleaning in between the big washes. I found this prolongs the big washes unless it gets really filthy Here’s an example. https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/524006 Go through the site though if you choose to buy from SBS

I’ve found the opposite in my town. A lot of drivers sat doing 20 to 25 on main roads that are 30 limits. Does my head in!

Just looks like it needs a good clean. Sorry I’m not keen.

I can do that. I’ll PM you.

Not waterproof. May as well chuck your money in the drain and watch the rain wash it away
