    Where am I?

    3 of the places last July The road to the Monastery is a biker's heaven Elvas is the first city you get after leaving Spain, the first place for a decent espresso You can't beat Costa da Caparica beaches Montserrat monastery - Barcelona Elvas Castle - Alentejo Portugal Costa da Caparica beach - Lisbon (south side of Tagus River) - Portugal
  4. Some forums mention them and for the look of it they are quite rare. Apparently the best manufacturer are Kineo, an italian maker http://kineowheels.com/ This guy have some for sale but I didn't check your model. http://www.britishracer.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=75 Hope this helps a bit
  5. They should implement a one-way policy
  6. I rarely agree with President Nicola... PS: The tweet is still available, just ignore what it says and have a wee look
  7. SOOOOOOOO true I have the excuse that I need to bluetooth the sat-nav to the intercom so I don't have to listen to all the chatter all the time
  8. I'm not aware of any paint that will prevent rust and at same time will resist high temperatures. As long you get all the rust out of the way, and must be every single little spot of rust, painting with high temp paint should do the trick.
  9. Give it multiple coats of high temperature black paint . Toolstation stuff works well . Some people recommend barbecue paint but I haven't tried that . I agree with Bob on the Toolstation stuff. I’ve used it and it lays on well, oddly it comes in 400ml cans rather than the usual 500ml. Toolstation stuff works well yes, Vicas ones go up to 800c and aren't expensive
  10. I would make a complaint and go elsewhere if they don't bring it back down. If the accident wasn't your fault you should have kept your mouth shut.
  11. I always cross check moneysupermarket.com confused.com https://www.motorcyclenews.com/insurance/ I don't go looking at directline because they don't do bikes. You will be surprised how some comparison sites don't include for quotes.
  12. If you want to paint it then you should use something like this https://shop.vitcas.com/products/heat-resistant-materials/heat-resistant-paints.html I have painted my iron machine with it and works great. First remove the rust with a stainless steel scrub pad like this one and some elbow grease ( i get mine elbow grease from toolstation ) https://www.webstaurantstore.com/images/products/main/60227/145886/stainless-steel-standard-weight-scouring-pads-12-pack.jpg You can get them in any supermarket Make sure all rust is gone before spaying or the rust will come back again and ruin everything. If too much rust then better use a detail or DA sander and then the scrub pad to finish it.
  13. I wouldn't use WD40 if screws get rusty. I use a brass brush for all the metal parts and for cleaning the brake pads (the ones used to clean suede shoes) they will be softer and will clean the screws better. If you want to stop rust to get to the screws, instead use some grease or get a bottle of car wax and dip them into the wax this will seal them for a while. alternative is the dry silicone spray used for chains. But nothing will beat SS screws
  14. Every year I go through comparison websites and search for the best deal. Because I do touring around Europe I always look for EU breakdown cover. At the moment I'm with Grove & Dean £110.60 with £350 excess.
  15. Primer done, Yesterday started fine sanding (1200 grit) for red coats. Final primer coat
  16. Did you notice? they're not 2m apart...
  17. A german guy was jogging on the park. While passing near the lake he noticed a dog struggling so he rushed to save the animal. Dragged the poor dog to the side of the lake and started reanimating him. Another guy sees the German and ask: Are you a vet? German: Vet??? I'm zoaking.
  18. Luckily I managed to get all the materials the day before lock down so since then I'm preparing the fairings to be sprayed. So far I managed to sand all the parts, repair the wee broken bits. repair the larger broken bits If you didn't knew about it, using super glue and baking soda works a treat for reconstructing plastic bits and is hard as rock. Yesterday finished priming all the bits including topbox Today will be starting fine sanding so by the end of the week I'll be ready for starting the red coats.
  19. A couple photos of my bike. Just ignore the mess, I'll clean the garage some day My bike extra brake lights fitted Apr 2019
