I have never understood why the police don't target cyclists with the same amount of zeal as they do other motorists? If I was to ride my motorcycle on the pavement, without lights at night, wrong way down one way streets or ignoring traffic lights, etc, I'm sure the fines would be enormous!

Throttled posted this some time ago! .. Just shows you can tour on anything!

Well done!

Don't beat yourself up about it! There's a Japanese proverb .. さるも　き　から　おちる saru mo ki kara ochiru Which translates as .. Even Monkeys Fall From Trees! It means that regardless of how capable or skilled anyone is, sooner or later, we all lose our balance and make mistakes! .

"optimal [ˈɒptɪm(ə)l] ADJECTIVE best or most favourable;"

Th test is on on "high-grip tarmac surface, which gives optimal tyre grip in both dry and wet conditions".

Put your thermals on! .. Its cold out there today!

If the fuse keeps blowing you've got a short circuit somewhere.

If you.ve broken a hex bit then I can't see that a T handle Allen key will do the job!

There's no mention of covid! .. It say "Infectious or contagious disease" of which there are thousands!

Lockdown? .. Yet B&Q are still open, as are Greggs. McDonalds etc people going to work on public transport. Yet an activity/industry that is probably as safe as you can get is stopped .. I agree it wont change a thing .. I was asked to share and as I agree with it I have.. If you don't agree that's also fine!

Anyone fancy signing and sharing a petition? https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/558548

Took spare engine out of ER5 and put original engine back in! .. Knackered now so time for a cuppa!

I thought we lost our license after 40km? I wouldn't know! .. I never got caught! .. I tell a lie, I once got pinged doing 103kph going down the Bombay hills on state highway 1 on a public holiday! .. Cost me $30 for 3kph over the limit!

Paraffin and gear oil for me! .. Why? .. Its cheap and it works!

As of 9:00 am this morning this is still available!

Just fitted replaced the camshafts and rockers in my ER5 engine .. It was a little nerve-racking doing the cam caps up to torque after reading fastbobs experience but it went OK! Next job will be to switch it back into the bike and get it running.

Here's a picture ..Its NOT mine! .. Its on facebook er5 uk group. 1999 ER5 spares or repairs. Sat gathering dust. I have no time to restore and need the space. Complete bike with v5. Engine ran fine last year so no reason why it won't still. Pick up from CB1 Cambridge. Quick sale wanted £150 Has to go complete, no breaking sorry.

I'll bet that it's better than mid January which is when mine is rebooked for
