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.

I always said, Karma is a bitch. Just wish this is real and will go ahead. Cyclists could face 20mph limits and may need number plates in shake-up of road laws | Daily Mail Online

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.

Unless you actually ride a ST1300 and are escorted by a 125...

Finally have my new passport. Took them a whole week to send it. Just need to wait for the Euro to come back up, should have bough some when it was at €1.18. And some croatian Kuna. Next, service the Pan, checks on the trailer to make sure everything is working. Fit the new side mirror (don't ask...). Ended procrastination on the luggage list so next will start filling the bags.

Starting to pack all my stuff for the holidays Monday will service the Pan and fill pannier bags with my stuff. Final checks and load the trailer.

I REALLY REALLY WANT THIS....

Hello, everyone. In case any of you want to have information about how to spray all different parts of a motorbike. This guy is a Brazilian professional with a tone of videos with several techniques and all different parts of a motorbike sprayed. Most clips have subtitles available in English. Enjoy

An item everybody should have as a tool is a bit of double sided gel tape. very strong grip and you can use it as @fastbob and @Mississippi Bullfrog say. A bit at the end of a stick. Around £5 on ebay

Maybe you want to use a dedicated offline app instead. Something like Navigator NavigatorFree | MapFactor GPS Navigation App Although Waze will work the same when not connected for a short period of time.

Tease them and Scotts will charge down and take over. Hurray President Princess Nicola

Now you guys try to erase that image from your mind...

What's the point if then you're having a wall on the border...

Already got my mankini

Can't have that. What will happen to Princess Nicola of Scotts then?

A great Woman, a proper head of state with a strong connection to my home country through the oldest alliance in the world. One question comes to mind. Why on earth does a 7x year old guy doesn't step aside and handover the crown to his son allowing the country a more modern up to date King...

Good morning. Shadow's stator gone faulty...

Isn't a flip-up... You are aware that you can get a carbon fibre helmet for £250 - £300?

Wee update, EHIC card arrived a few days ago. Yesterday got my new ID card (Yes we have those back home) Passport dealt with and will arrive probably by Monday the latest according to Consulate staff. I'm now practicing my art of procrastination in making the list of stuff I will need to take... Swimming shorts and beach towel are in the pile already together with shorts to roam around the camping site. Weather forecast is showing a "mild" temperature 20 - 25c with few clouds and light breeze throughout the 2 weeks In the UK side, no surprises there, strong chance of rain all the way down to Hull.

Just make sure the pads adjust to the disks and gaps are where they are supposed during the first few miles. Give it a strong breaking a couple times to make sure everything is going well and enjoy the new brakes

I am a member of a charity and I don't get a penny. All travelling, hotel, food comes out of my pocket. Most money that goes into charities is spent on 50k plus wages for people sitting at a desk.

You will be paying £400 wages for someone instead of actually giving the money to those who need it. Plus tax to the gov.

Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days. A customer asked, "In what aisle could I find the Irish sausages?" The assistant asks, "Are you Irish?" The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am, but let me ask You something... If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican? Or if I asked for Polish sausage, would you ask if I was Polish?" The assistant says, "No, I probably wouldn't." The guy says, "Well then, just because I asked for Irish sausage, why then did you ask me if I'm Irish?" The assistant replied, "Because this is Halfords."
