Hi and welcome.

I would start visiting some dealers and have a sit on different models.

Depends on personal taste, how tall you are and what bike makes you feel comfortable and confident on.

Higher cc and power means higher insurance.

If it's your first bike maybe consider something that won't cost a fortune premium wise. A few simulations will give you an idea of cost.

Personally, trail bikes 400cc will be a good starting point as they are excellent teachers and quite forgiving if you slam the brakes and won't throw you on the ground.

Stay away from Chinese ones as maintenance and parts will make it more expensive.

Regarding brand, I'm suspicious because anything that isn't a honda is not worth the money

Now I'll have half the forum having a go at me

Maybe using the liners of a similar shape from a different brand.

Alternatively get a singer and DIY the replacement.

Lots of shops selling foam online for any thickness and density you want 

That would indicate the helmets have past their due date.

If a reputable brand then you could order replacement liners.

Downside is if the helmets have been discontinued 

Hello, welcome to the craziest forum

You can always watch some yt clips about slow riding.

An excellent channel is, ride like a pro Jerry Palladino, an US ex copper who does training for heavy bikes.

Then get to a supermarket car park and practice.

Nothing will teach you better than lots of practice

Welcome to the pan club

Wet good morning everybody

Doing the lawn after engineering the mower.

Why on earth anyone would make a lawnmower with plastic blades is something beyond my comprehension.

so I decided to change it to something more durable.

Unfortunately the metal is too thin and garden full of stones

So, decided to spend £1 in a set of table knives 

Then made this

It works a treat

Yep… seat height on this one is 895mm, I can just flat foot the Africa twin but not this one… 

 

insurance didn’t allow me to get the 1100 AT though

I solved the problem by undoing the nut that holds the spring.

The whole thing come down just enough to have both feet on the ground.

That reminds me when I had my Africa twin.

Fantastic bike, a nightmare for my wee legs

Ordered a new radiator for the pan.

This bitch is getting more expensive than the ex was

Hello, welcome

Some sections of the Pyrenees are also closed to bikes.

Mostly because of the idiotic brainless morons doing off road and making endless racket that can be heard miles away in a area where there is little noise.

I always do it cold.

Take the plug out and let it drain overnight.

Because I always change the oil filter at same time, once most of the oil is out I remove the filter.

Next morning is just put new filter on the plug back and new oil.

All this makes me doubt if it's worth giving myself all the hassle to fit the internal TMPS for both shadow and pan or just take the wheels to the local guy I trust even if it cost me about £10 each.

It's that I don't think I can be bothered...

A fuse?

and its the worst car you have the look of that triggers/gas lights, like a nissan juke.

Wait.

You're saying there is a car even worse than the juke????

Nice zebra with wheels

You can even get a USB waterproof one with outside temperature and battery voltage cheap from china.

Good excuse to buy a new mower 

No way.

Selling the place, whoever takes over can get a proper mower. Happy with the second hand and metal blades instead those crap plastic ones

Wasn't me that approved it!

Reads a bit dodgy to me too tbh but we like to give people a chance 

Maybe should go into the jokes section?

After all, we do like a good laugh

Apologies,

Just noticed that isn't clear if you want to remove the stains or the entire frame.

If you check the seals, and they are of a reputable brand, it should have either the dimensions or a reference number.

The new ones should match the old ones and be the same size or near enough.

Some pics would help to give a more accurate advice.

I bought some cheap lawn seeds from home bargains to cover some patches in the garden.

This before going on holidays.

Now it looks like the jungle...

Depends on what you are calling stains....

I'm sorry, I left my crystal ball at home

Please tell me something that doesn't either is made in china or doesn't have parts made there
