    Hi

    Hello @Stevie68 Welcome to the forum
  3. Be careful or they will see that as a change and will charge you the admin fee for change of circumstances. The fact you have an add-on to your license shouldn't make a difference to them. It all depends how long you have left until renewal.
  4. Back to the main subject Just ordered the 2 springs for the stand. Now just need everything to arrive and get it fitted. Meanwhile will still.havr to clean the underside of the engine and whatever more I will find needing a clean. Apply more ACF50 and put the fairings back with the new bolts. That's a job for the weekend and evenings.
  5. Cyclists? Are you sure?? https://www.instagram.com/reel/C24zCMlI06W/?igsh=MXhhNzF3ZnZiMGlwcA==
  6. Forgot to mention that I got a new job Boss is a biker too, even if he have HDs but still counts
  7. Found a blasting company that will do it for around £15 Not even going to think twice about it. The guy even said would paint it for me. Just not sure what paint he will be doing but I'll discuss it on Wednesday when I go there Some works aren't worth the trouble of trying to do manually when a machine can do it faster, better and cheaper than me spending 3 hours and have it half done
  8. One thing often overlooked that I find really helpful. Gel insoles for your boots. You can get them very cheap and worth every penny.
  9. More like never done anything to it since 2015

    Upper back pain

    Relax. Most times that's due to constant tension.
  11. Another update. A very shiny side stand And a very rusty central stand Honda love to make things complicated In order to remove the side stand I had to remove the entire exhaust system. This because the axle for the centre stand comes out straight to the pipe just before the silencer
  12. Depends if it's a 2 sided toast or just toasted like a bagel
  13. Being someone who worked in water industry since 2008 I can tell you that the article is a load of pish Birds shit on the water, ducks and swans swim in it with all the things they get to do. In the whole of the UK no water enters the network without proper treatment and at least 4 filtration methods before leaves the works. Water companies down in England always come up with the most moronic excuses for not doing their job properly.
  14. A plane would follow the sequence
  15. Done. Maybe electric bikes should be included
  16. Granite is definitely a factor in tyre wear. Very poor quality of tarmac is another issue. Then you add the twisted roads that you really ride probably a wee bit faster than would be wise to do...
  17. A pair of £300 shoes move and are nothing more than an ornament
  18. I'll just say one thing. I got divorced for much less...
  19. For one bike you're better off with included in the insurance policy. Make sure you read all the t&C's because the cheaper option usually only covers 10 miles rescue and you're stuck again in a different location. I've used green flag and they are really good. When the shadow burnt the VR they just pick it up and dropped at my door. Most the brokers will tease you with a rubbish breakdown cover and will add another £50 or £100 quid for a decent one. Age of the bike also plays a role. not all covers are valid for older bikes.
  20. Have a look here. https://womenridersnow.com/adjustable-brake-and-clutch-levers-for-small-hands/
  21. First batch of plated bits The thread on the bolt needs some detailing. Happy with the rest. Hopefully rust free for a while
  22. I haven't been on the west coast lately, do I can't really tell. I would guess the A roads will still be in a decent condition. It would be the road from Ullapul to Durness that maybe you need to be weary because isn't a A road. The road from Durness to thurso have amazing views
