  1. Glad to see 'nearly', It doesn't look it, but it's a hefty bit of kit for it's size.
  2. I would say it's not as bad/difficult as people make out, but there are plenty who make a right pig's ear of it so.. I guess it's up to the rider? Having a small light bike really helps too, I wouldn't even try on the K100 or the TRX. My NC has a kerb weight of 220Kg. I wouldn't fancy picking that up in the snow. When you lost steering in the video, I've had moments like that in the past, which luckily didn't come to grief, but still a butt clenching moment.
  3. Actually no, snow just scares them. The poor little softies struggle to tackle it in a tin box, the thought of riding in it is beyond their comprehension. Meanwhile.. https://i.imgur.com/27O2cAD.jpg' alt='IMGUR>'> I actually quite enjoy the challenge, at least it's different! Not sure if that was a great bit riding or just f*g crazy? Just sat watching it gave me the eebie jeebies
  4. I know what you mean, I'm more of a 'Sunday Sport' person, now that's a quality rag.
  5. Reduced visibility when it's cold, raining and your visor starts to fog around the outer edges of the pinlock. Snow, frost and ice is not a problem. I just don't ride.
  6. Reduced! take a hundred lines [mention]raesewell[/mention]
  7. One day Rodders, we'll be millionaires...…." The law was also widely discredited after it was reported that a lobbyist who had called for its mandatory introduction was an executive at a company that manufactured the testing kits."
  8. Front page news from the Mail today. I bet you miss this [mention]XTreme[/mention] At least we know there's not much else going on in the world.
  9. As a cricket fan, it comes as good news about the spiders. The ECB should search out and sign this deadly bola up for the next test series. There's no problem with the Muslim aspect, as the ECB is an all inclusive organisation.
  10. I'm a big fan of Hare pie. Mmmmm.
  11. This will soon be followed by a champagne socialist leader more likely, we have Sir Kier Starmer (millionaire) deleted from wiki. Lady Emily Thornberry, Oh yes another titled MP. The other three front runners, I sort of like, Northern, working class background and intelligent, Long-bailey, Nandi and Rayner. All in all Prime Ministers question should be highly entertaining next year.
  12. That's a bit mischievous XTreme. What is your source. He certainly is removing it from the Brexit bill and my understating is that workers rights will be enshrined in law and will be included in the Queens speech. Source Telegraph today. There's no point in supplying a link because you peasants are too tight to subscribe and won't be able to read the article.
  13. Baroness Swinson?? Just what does it take to become part of the Nobility? Although this is not a definite yet but you can bet you're boots it's highly likely. Do we really need the house of Lords? or is time we modernised up a bit and got rid of the swamp altogether? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-7799119/RICHARD-LITTLEJOHN-Spare-Baroness-Swinson-Stop-Brexit-taking-seat-House-Lords.html
  14. What is Ronnie Wood on? He looks f*****g ridiculous.
  15. [mention]fastbob[/mention] You're always coming up with fantastic exploded view assembly drawings. Is there specific sites for specific bikes? Or is there some central site that deals with most bikes? For sorting out problems those type of drawings are invaluable.
  16. A relief to see that the numbers plates stayed with the paperwork
  17. I have a feeling that expats or British immigrants living in EU countries will have little or nothing done that will affect their lives, at the same time EU citizens who are resident, living and working here will also be afforded the same protections. I sincerely hope so anyway, anything else would be an utter scandal and the Tories know this. They're not going give this important aspect of leaving the EU anything other than win win for both sides. If the worst comes to the worst and the Spanish make it hard for the remaining Brits there, [mention]XTreme[/mention] could always start up a motorcycle tour company and offer B&B in his stables along with a hefty discount for TMBF members to make ends meet.

    Chain Oil

    My current favourite is Muc off all weather lube which faired quite well in the YouTube test, maybe when that runs out I will give the gear oil a go. Oy Vey! it's cheap already.
  19. Did you piss yourself? Was the seal around the urine collection bag intact?
  20. [mention]XTreme[/mention] Breaking news; Expats with residency in the EU of over 10 years will have their state pensions and passports revoked. This will be announced in the new Queens speech when the new parliament is started early next year. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/12/14/people-have-got-revenge-against-hateful-remainer-diehards/
  21. I had a Schuberth with a ratchet strap and didn't like it that much. Give me D ring any day.
