I have a ScottOiler, I don't use it anymore though as I cba to refill it, but I do still use the ScottOil. Great stuff, not sticky and doesn't fling all too much.

I'm central Leicester buddy, only a few miles from the city centre.

Nope lockdown was lifted. We are as the rest of the country now except we can't have people in our households or gardens. Very bizarre but that's what they said lol. Its all good, just nice to see some people talking on the midlands area!

Oops..

Love me do - Beatles

HOT DOGGITY! So many active midlands riders!!

Mine remove whilst on the bike, few bolts and a gasket. Not sure how it is with your bike..

Welcome back

Coldplay - Trouble in town

Bump this game into the year 2020

Very true, worst case I could whip it off and put the original back on. Just a faff as I need to reattach the pillion pegs etc lol

As title says, been off the bike for a few years but getting back on and wondered if any riders active in Leicester/shire areas. Dont worry about pace, im capable of keeping up with most even now

Thanks [mention]Snod Blatter[/mention] , will have a gander!

[mention]husoi[/mention] , I've always done my own work on my bike. Its pristine regarding mechanical, just worried the exhaust will give me a slap on the wrist. Its not deafening, but it is pretty throaty! Lol

Thanks [mention]Tiggie[/mention]

Thanks for that mate. It doesn't really specify what is classed as "loud" so I assume its down to the MOT station. Other than that it looks like its time to book it back in

Hey all, been an absolute age but I'm back on 2 wheels since having the kids.

Bit of advice, im looking at getting the bike MOT'd but the exhaust is pretty loud. Not sure whether the regulations have changed since I last rode 4yrs ago but would this fail now or be an advisory?

Also does anyone know of a decent MOT station in Leicester nowadays.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I'm still around, I'm just very rarely on the bike atm due to 2 new additions to the family! I just very rarely post, but I'm regularly looking around.

B6047 is my usual biking route no matter where I am heading .. Beautiful road

Hi buddy,

I'm tied up this weekend as i'm servicing the bike and getting a new rear tire fitted. As of next week I will be free though so if you want a ride, just give me a shout!

As a Leicester lad.. just want to say COME ON YOU BLUES! Almost in the bag now. King Power was incredible at the weekend, would be great to see them put Man Utd down this week and claim the title!

Im available most weekends now mate. So I may tag along if the missus has nothing planned

Terrible driving from the lorry.. but my guess is he was watching his mirror to make sure he didn't mount the curb turning the corner due to the pedestrian. Also possible the pillar blocked the bike from view... but ultimately wtf was he doing turning into that road at that line without checking it's clear first!!!

Sunday mornings are a little difficult for me.. I have the little one while the missus works. Normally free after 1pm. Rennie let's get a matlock meet going!

It is hot indeed but once your moving it's not too bad. I generally go out with nothing but a pair of boxers and t shirt on under my gear whether it be textiles or leathers in this weather. Bike was near 100 degrees for whole ride lol
