  1. Make a signed limited edition for £10
  2. I think it would cost more than what royal mail would be charging to be honest They can be sent as a large letter so its just envelopes and stamps at around £1.50 each one posted
  3. Not wanting to teach how to suck eggs. Have you look into getting a bulk deal with a delivery company?
  4. Folks, Stu's out of pocket, please stump up if you voted on the poll for one or more How much are we talking about in total?
  5. The most impressive is the guy trying to put the fire out with a garden hose... For a full tank I put the bike on central stand, if I don't need it full to the top the side stand will do.
  6. Today I finished the wiring for the towbar. Plug under the seat so it is just remove the seat and plug the cable. Polished the stainless steel tow frame. Once the 10l vinegar arrives will be doing the nickel coating.
  7. Done [mention]Stu[/mention]
  8. Funny enough, VFR800 were my 2 following bikes. They are great beasts that will do anything you want as long you know how to. Hence mentioning learn first with a trial then go for a road bike. Keep in mind VFR are a sports bike and with over 6" you will be wondering what to do with your legs
  9. Africa Twin was my first bike and I was following advice from a friend. I still think was the very best bike to learn. Trial bikes are more forgiving on mistakes you will make while you get more experienced. Mostly on the brakes, if you go too heavy on the brakes on a normal road bike you're likely to lock the front wheel and crash. On a trial you will feel it diving and gives you time to balance the pressure before throwing you on the floor. If you approach a bend at wrong speed it will be easier to recover the balance because you will always travel at lower speed than a road bike. They are more suitable for taller riders and you will be seeing further away in front of you so you can be safer.
  10. Have you thought about a trial one? "Africa Twin" style with a suitable engine. KTM should have something that would suit you

    24? 24???? Nobody is 24...
  12. I agree with [mention]Old-codger[/mention] Enough having Icrap, Sansung, Huawei, Laptop processors, memory chips, cheap steel for car manufacturing, clothes, plastic shoes and all the other stuff we get from China because we are too cheap to pay a proper price...
  13. This was yesterday, it's 7:30 in the morning now so not much time to do anything today ordered a new washing machine... That's hit on the trailer project...
  14. A couple pictures would have helped.. An helmet that is over 5 years old shouldn't be used. Any (decent) manufacturer will have in their T&C's that any helmet should be replaced after 5 years. Because they are biased I would gladly extend that to 10 years but I would be very weary for anything beyond that. If you don't want to keep them maybe you can donate them to the motorbike museum or sell them to anyone wanting to collect them.
  15. Keep it simple. Large or small logo won't make a difference once you have it around your neck and tucked in the jacket. JUST DON'T GET IT WHITE
  16. Important question... Does he know what is 2m?
  17. Run a quote in another town first to check... Postcode is one of the big factors in insurance premiums. In London you get higher salaries but everything is more expensive. Locked garage is another biggie
  18. Best music for riding in the Scottish Highlands
  19. Did you mean ' been ' I think [mention]raesewell[/mention] is suggesting yellow and black stripes for the buffs
  20. Unless they are coming from America, that would be Grey and took you over 3 hrs to spot it...
  21. Waze is google online based. MapFactor Navigator from google app store allows to download all maps for free and works offline. I don't know if is available for Icrap. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapfactor.navigator&gl=GB
  22. I know. How about gray? then you can make it in 50 shades
  23. Not bike related but I just want to shout it out. So had my Nissan Leaf booked for service at the local dealer at 9am Got in the car 8.30 and set off, for a long time I never liked to be late for anything so I got there with 10min spare. Just to be told that for a service that takes no more than 1hr I would have to leave the car and go back in the afternoon. The idiot in the reception "forgot" to mention that there are "special" appointments for service while you wait and I would need to reschedule. What brainless TW$£T thinks that customers have to know everything? Even better when isn't written anywhere. Then she made an oblivious look like I was talking venusian when I asked how am I supposed to go home and get back to the car. So, in fact I just wasted 45min and 20 miles and have to go back next week. Can we nominate a group instead of an individual?
