I am certainly interested in this and pretty much anywhere that has a B&B option would be good ! Cheers Ian

May I request 256 again please ? Cheers Ian

Obviously no Triumph dealers his side of the pond ! That`s without mentioning Guzzi and all the Chinese reimagined Italian marques. Cheers Ian

Nice stable you have described ! Cheers Ian

Best my 2004 ZRX1200R (Still got it bought new and not for sale) Worst DT400 bought in the eighties and seized on the M3 on the way home lol. Money no object would be the ZRX which I still own but for the sake of this thread I would quite like my XBR500 back that was a lot of fun in london traffic. Cheers Ian

Last years was in my office on site and attracted a lot of comments which were usually positive. Probably something to do with the age of people on building sites lol. Cheers Ian

Merry Christmas all already looking forward to 23 and warmer weather Cheers Ian

Does anyone know if the sportsbike shop are having a sale? There may need to be a clothing purchase soon and I will want to save a bit of money ! Cheers Ian

Which will probably mean it will rain ! Cheers Ian

Always said about horses they have a leg at each corner a mind of their own and no brakes ! Welcome aboard. Cheers Ian

Don`t suppose anyone has any swing with Air France or Heathrow ? Just spent the whole day being lied to about the whereabouts of our luggage. Landed back at "Thiefrow" on Saturday evening and although the AF app showed our baggage on board it wasn`t! Been informed that the airport delivery contractor was finally notified of the arrival of our bags this morning (Monday) I have been personally reassured 3 times by the carriers that they would contact their driver for a delivery time, Now we have received and email from DHL to say that they are going to deliver tomorrow and we can`t change delivery details till the bags are in their posession. You have no idea how flaming irate I currently am. Cheers Ian

That so explains your current location! I am jealous lol. Cheers Ian

I am also considering Croatia next year possibly Aug/Sep and would be very interested in any information you come up with. My personal alternative would be a Santander into Pyranees tour so my options at this stage are open. Cheers Ian

I wonder if there are any "Bikers pubs " left actually? I have very fond memories of the Railway Hotel in Purley from the late seventies early eighties sadly very much gone now as closed in something like 89 lol. Cheers Ian

I am going to be honest here and I anticipate a flaming from those who haven`t got the guts to admit it. As an ex despatch rider I have probably ridden my luck a little but basically if the car in lane 3 has nowhere to go i.e there is a car in lane 2 then through I go so in that situation speed is irrellevent as I have done my little risk asessment and judge it to be safe (ish)and I ain`t going to admit in a public place at what speed I do this but it works for me and used to be used on the M1 into London daily. In normal traffic if I don`t know where roads join mine from the left then I am cautious but if I believe there is little chance of someone joining or the car I am passing has little or no opportunity to turn right then through I go. It has worked well for the last 43 years and I know I should know better ! Cheers Ian

Your local dealer in Npton normally lets you have it for 1 to 2 hrs and very little pressure so I think you will be fine. Enjoy. Cheers Ian

Hi Mate sorry to hear your still unwell at least you are in the best place. Rest up and get well soon, good luck with the weight loss too as I am sure this will motivate you. Cheers Ian

I would have thought your pannier frames will be ideal for the straps. Also I have used 2 Lomo bags together so I could use smaller bag and have them side by side on pillion. I will have a look for pics in a minute. Cheers Ian

Just erring on the cautious side I would first check out some of the injector cleaners that claim to break down varnish deposits first. At the very worst try reading labels in Halfords see if any of the active ingredients are listed. Cheers Ian

We are going there in 3 weeks and so looking forward to it ! Couldn`t find a bike hire place though, will ask about when we are there. Cheers Ian

Or maybe the vet! Cheers Ian

Can`t you just add it to your parts order for the damage to your bike and sneak it past your boss ? Cheers Ian
