    Hai!

    Welcome to the forum @Isla Ask away and don't be shy on photos. We love them in here
  2. A Oyster went to the nightclub. It didn't go well, end up pulling a muscle (Big Yen )
  3. When I was supposed to ride to Faro to the Rally. Then was "diverted" by the ex to spend 2 days in freakin' Paris, God's know why, Had to stop every 70 miles. By the time I was supposed to be in Faro I was in Valencia. Managed to spend 2 days in Lisbon and had to run back on time for the ferry back. By far not only a horrible ride but the worst holidays ever.
  4. Good morning everybody. Yesterday while painting my new metal gate, an idea come to mind. Have anyone ever painted a bike with Hammerite? hammered effect? I'll be very surprised if nobody ever tried it.
  5. If you're riding through main cities make sure you have the environmental tax paid for. I believe it's called Crit'Air The Crit'Air anti-pollution vehicle sticker (france.fr)
  6. If it's brand new, it's no brainer. Warranty.
  7. I would start with the user manual, usually tells you the tyre sizes. Maybe you will find it here HONDA CB400 OWNER'S MANUAL Pdf Download | ManualsLib For brand I always use Bridgestone for the ST1300 as the bike doesn't like anything else. For the shadow I got a Mitas tyre, newish kids on the block and cracking good tyres. The guy who fitted a rear tyre on the Pan a few months ago suggested Continental as excellent tyres that he uses for racing. They started on motorbikes and want to make a good impression.
  8. Would roll them work instead? You won't be bending the. I treat my water proofs with a marine product. It is EXCELLENT!!!! Stinks as a fart in a wet suit after a curry night but is brilliant, got it from a marine shop up in Inverness Do it outside and follow the instructions...

    Brake disks

    I'll be fitting the SS disks instead the Standard ones to prevent the rusting. Need to keep in mind the current disks aren't OEM and probably not even EBC. The main problem is arriving home late and not being bothered to clean the bike before leaving it for days. Expensive lesson I know. These Instead of these
  10. Why would anyone will want to go to London????

    Brake disks

    The VFR system is a piece of cake compared to the Pan Did all the cleaning on system last year, including removing the rust pitting from the front disks. The rear one is still okay but needs the pistons replaced on all 3 calipers. Decided to start disassembling everything for all 3 wheels and make a list of what needs replaced. Will stay clear of the lines. Too old for that That should teach me to stay indoors when it's pishing down. Having said that, that's 340 days a year in Scotland...
  12. I'm a mean bad ass Don't remember how but I managed to have a £5 credit on my credit card. Probably bought something and return it after paying the full outstanding balance. Now they are furious because by law they have to pay interest Much better than savings account Up yours, credit card company

    Brake disks

    Pan's are magnificent beats but as temperamental as my ex Even tyres are a delicate matter. Only thing the breaks are likely to keep are the brake lines because they are a pain to replace. Even the brake fluid can't be replaced the normal way because of the main pump and modulators. A proper pain Will be replacing all the bolts and even the bleeders. Hence being around 1k bill.

    Brake disks

    Not a good idea cheaper quicker wearing disks on a 300kg bike... I don't like to go back to the brakes and have to do all the assembling twice. even worse, you shouldn't reuse pads on new disks Unfortunately they are beyond repair, did that last year Sportsbikeshop not only helps @Stu with the forum but are slightly cheaper for the disk and pads. The repair kits I can get from CMSNL or wemoto separately. Better do all front and rear at once and do a complete overhaul. Do the job once and complete and spend more time on the bike instead under
  15. Last MOT got advisory front brake disks starting to have rust pitting on them. Yesterday while doing some unrelated work in the garage noticed the disks are past their best. This for the Pan European. So... New front disks + pads New rear disk + pads Before ordering will need to check the brake fluid and see if calippers need any work done or just cleaned. Likely a £1000 job in parts only
  16. Good morning. Advice for any rookie welder. Never try to mig weld when the ground cable is connected to the wooden part of your workbench...
  17. True, they do work You can only charge at high power with a type C connector.
  18. Very likely, if scammers, they will come with some excuse that after all they can't go see the bike but they will still buy it because you're such a nice guy. Then they will tell you they will arrange for a courier to pick it up but you will have to pay a fee to courier. The good thing is, you will keep the bike, you will never going to see the courier or the money you have paid for the fee if you're that kind of eejit
  19. Because 1 they're shaite 2 because everybody is moving to type C connections 3 because they are really shaite
  20. Good morning folks This little-known region of Portugal could be Europe's most overlooked corner (msn.com)
  21. I would weary of the micro USB connector that one have.
  22. I have been considering this one. USB 8A battery tyre inflator The 8000mA capacity of the battery will be more than adequate for a longer life span. Only setback is the 2 to 3 weeks delivery time.
