Setup a savings account and deposit the monthly payments. If you ever get asked for the money you will have it ready and made a wee profit out of it. If not you will have a good sum for some touring trip.

I wonder....

Your best bet will be places like www.aliexpress.com for price www.gearbest.com for a bit better quality Most if not all electronic parts are made in Asia anyway.

Almost forgot. Happy Equinox you all Next will be phoking Halloween...

Cannae get any worse...

Tell me about it Fortunately have the sainsbury cash card and will wait until £ goes up again before exchanging all I need.

K&N are rated as top notch filters usually used in racing and high performance. According to K&N their casings are made of thicker metal and will last longer or endure a more harsh use. Because I ride frequently throughout the year water corroded the HF. Hence going for a more expensive one. First time using it so I can't say about how good they are. Only when I change it next year I'll be able to tell how they compare to HF. Maybe I will cut open the old one and keep it until I replace the new one and compare the 2.

Plan A: Just arrived by DX. Can't fault opie oils, really fast delivery considering that filter was ordered Monday. Plan B: OEM filter from local honda dealer Will be fitting K&N Friday during the day fill with oil together with all the pre-departure checks (tyre pressure, coolant level etc.)

The one I want to fit is a K&N, the OEM will be used on next service. I don't think I will buy another Hiflo again

Except for the nukes, basically what Hitler did when Stalin started the run to Berlin and Allies arrived at Dunkerque...

I nominate whoever invented these devils...

Use a hairdryer to remove it and a bit of methylated alcohol or acetone (nail polish remover) to clean it.

Don't want to brag about it... GOING TO CROATIA ON HOLIDAYS!!!!

New (plan B) oil filter and sump plug washer in standby if new K&N filter doesn't arrive in time before Fri.

I just hope I have enough time to get on my bike and have a final ride.

Very good morning all. Have a happy shortest summer day of the year. Tomorrow is balance day

Just make it legal to run them over if they don't behave.

Shame I have stop eating lamb My joints hate the wee things.

Considering how easy it will be for them to "run away" if they will smash a side/wing mirror or just run over a pedestrian. Wont be long for the insurance companies to start pushing for dashcams.

Wee update. Problem solved. As pan B I have just bough a Honda oil filter (only available near me) So if courier doesn't deliver K&N on time I have a backup plan. Croatia here I come 4 days to go and counting.

So yesterday I was going to Kerrimuir where there is a biker hub at a take-away, Viv's kitchen (will add it to the places to visit if not there) Was meeting another rider at the nearby Sainsbury petrol station. For some reason during the 5 miles trip from home the rear tyre felt "weird" near the station felt like I had a puncture but the TMPS was showing 38psi, a tad low but after a while the pressure builds up to the normal 42. Stopped at the fuel station filled up and when returning from paying I found a oil puddle under the bike Had to return home and cage all the way up. This was a BACA event and I had committed to it already. when I got back home I started the investigation. Fortunately, although not what you want to find a few days before going touring, the fault is easily repaired. A new K&N filter to replace this one. The filter isn't that old, maybe 5,000 miles. However, lots of ridding on the wet and I mean proper UK wet. Hiflo are good filters but not long lasting as casing is very thin. As result 3 holes pouring the oil out. Today will need to jetwash the entire rear of the bike and the rear tyre. New filter due in Wed from Opie oils, sadly sportsbikeshop can't deliver before Thu and knowing how couriers work in the area I would be sitting waiting for the filter until the last minute.

Yes, and then you have the hills... Something quite common in Scotland.
