Any one close to Carluke interested in an almost full bottle of ACF50? Needs to go today.

Experience will tell you. Do it properly and you're doing it once

If you're only changing the oil then it should be a quick simple operation. Play attention that if the oil is kinda grey then it's very likely the teflon in the bushings is gone and you should replace them. Yes means you have to take the forks out and strip them but replacing the oil with worn bushes is a bad idea.

More bikes means less mileage on each one I would rather have 5 bikes with 2k miles than 1 with 10k miles Then you need a bike for each occasion. You can't go to the cafe on a yabusa, that's what cruisers are for. You can't go touring on a 250. You need a tourer for that. Pretty much like women with shoes...

Unfortunately I'm leaving Monday Carluke is quite close

I would never do that. Who ever comes with the money first will take it unless I get a deposit on the condition they will pick it up by a set number of days. Did that with the shadow. The guy who bought it was right on time, otherwise would have sold to the second guy enquiring about it.

Have you researched for intercom that can connect?

New tyres for donuts...

If you ride more on the rough side then yes you can even double to 10w. As option and if you want to be meticulous about it. Get 1 bottle 5w and 1 bottle 10w Mixing it 50/50 will give you the 7.5w Changing the ratio will vary the w value

Whatever you do. NEVER EVER use dot4 on your forks

I knew there was something missing

Pointless tool. Normally it's measured by distance from level to top. Get a good steel ruler with a little clamp to make sure you're measuring the correct level. For measurements in volume use a decent measuring cup. Don't make simple things more complicated than needs to be

Much easier to hold the bike while stopped in traffic.

I would say it's a knock on effect of the general economy. Less obvious nowadays but shops and businesses closing daily is still very high. Hardly compensated by new ones opening, which don't last long. Consumers have been pinched hard since COVID and with war on our doorstep. Then you have the tax rise from 5th April with more coming up in next few months if not weeks. Then everyone is avoiding going out, even for Sunday drive and a break. Has become too expensive for most people.

Lived there for 6 horrible years. Went twice, one of the times I was there, was Easter break and took me 2.5hr from M25 to city centre, mostly because of roadworks. after that and fortunately I won't be going there ever again...

Was he trying to plug it?

Add to that making it worse for filtering

Then you have this argument https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1ASXtMZBdp/

I'm with you on this. Airbnb or cheaper accommodation for me please. Travel lighter, less kerfuffle, less affected by weather. Most of all, too old for crawling in and out of a small tent. Life is too short to have to setup a house every time you want to move from one place to another

Good thing I don't celebrate any of that shaite

I believe most damage to bike's market is due to emissions restrictions imposed by the idiots in Brussels. I know some brands are trying to go around it by creating hybrid engines for bikes but that only adds to the cost with no real benefits and by making a heavy bike even more heavier. Then you have a stack of pointless technology that isn't really needed, thinking of reversing on the Goldwing, and only makes the bike market harder to get into or available to the few that can afford it. The low cc market gets away with it, for now, because they are naturally low emission engines. Just wait until someone finds a way to grab some taxes out of it...

That's true. Although anything fitted to the bike will must be in working order. Exception for additional lights or additional break lights, however, they need to be road legal. Same exception goes for accessories like satnav, tmps, USB socket etc.

Insurance company would creat problems if you would fit smaller ones. Better quality mirrors are a safety improvement. Besides, I don't believe they would go check it if you have an accident. If you would post a couple pictures of what you have then we can give better advice

Sounds like the ones you have are either flat or very little curvature. Would it be the case for new ones with proper convex mirrors?
