My front tyre needs replacing soon but I'm not happy with the make. The back still has a few thousand miles left on it. So, what are your thoughts about mixing tyres?

hiya

just checking if you got my pm

cheers

my son has a 1997 gs 125 if they'll fit. let me know and postage costs (if they are still going)

a few more videos.

a long 200 mile run in yorkshire. was a fab day.

these are with the camera on the front of the bike.

i go to look around a few times a month as they get some nice bikes in but i can't make Thursday nights as i work them.

i've had the sj4000 for a month now and i'm very impressed with it.

looks like the hero 3 and specs are almost as good.

lots of bits and pieces come with it inc the waterproof case.

i ordered a few extra batteries as they only last about 90 minutes. i have it on 10min record so it will overwrite the old videos if i don't want to keep it. i bought mine from Tmart. there is a new one which is slightly more expensive but is Wi-Fi, i believe it sends video directly to your smart phone or tablet if you want it to.

just a short video of my bike. enjoy.

i think for the extra the sj4000 is a better camera, depending what you want.

i think the one that Stu posted a link to can't be charged whilst in use, not can you change batteries.

but as i say it depends what you want.

i bought tis one. i think quality of video is great. you can have continuous recording, loop recording, take pictures etc.

one of my trial videos. excuse the music, was added by youtube.lol

very well done

OK, well, I've been trying out the new camera, the sj4000. i'm still trying to find the best settings/position etc but it's looking good at the moment. i tried it on the front of the bike but there was to much vibration so i'm trying it on the side of my helmet.

hope these links work.

welcome, sorry can't help with the build, i'm strictly a garage man myself.

shocking behavior from new neighbors, surely the new when they looked at buying the house the speedway was there?

so sorry to hear the missus is not going to go any further with her riding. but you will love riding 2 up. my wife has problems with arthritis and other problems which means she can't physically ride her own bike, but we love riding 2 up, we have intercoms and we (she) talk and talk and talk ( ).

not sure what type of bikes you like but the BMW R1200RT is fab, not to heavy, lots of luggage space, great engine and i'm told the new model is even better.

ride safe and above all both of you have fun.

i have a head which doesn't fit most helmets, seems i'm an odd shape,lol.

i have tried on dozens of helmets and can only wear 3 with comfort.

one is the shoie neotec but at £400+ i'd be s**t scared to wear it in case i dropped it. the other ones are caberg downtown s but as an open face i can only use it during the summer, the last one is the LS2, a cheap £70 lid but with a 4 star rating. i have just bought my second one, the new 370 easy, a flip up lid, and it is so comfortable, average weight, built in sun visor and good ventilation. pinlock ready too. if i have the money i'd deffo buy the neotec, but for now i feel happy with this one (i'm hoping i'll never get the chance to try it but confident it will do the job)

it's not a problem unless we have a drought

i wear kevlar jeans, love them in the summer, you can put knee and hip protection in them if you want.

very sad, but it happens far to often. if i'm in a group, i do what i think is safe, not what others think is safe.

RIP 'Jim', thoughts to his family and friends.

going to be difficult for this guy to forget what he saw. good on him for doing the video.

Hi Keith, how's the recovery from the op going?

slow mate. i keep thinking today's the day i'll try the bike then i start getting ready and off the elbow goes,pain and aching.

i know it's better than it was but still got pains in the joint, see surgeon on Monday so i'll see what is what.

fingers crossed it will keep improving. i'm bored, want to get back to work (OMG I've finally lost the plot)

bought last year for my son, but he hasn't got round to doing his cbt yet, so i run it about from time to time. but it seems to take ages to settle into the idle. was wondering if anyone in or around the Sunderland are could have a look at the carb for me. happily offer a few pints of nectar for any help.

i was 46 when i did my direct access.

insurance on my cbt was about 140 fully comp (if memory serves) or suzuki gz125

bummer, would have loved to but still not allowed to ride bike yet.

all i know is they said it was a worn fuel pump control unit, bike only has 26900 miles on it.

turns out it was the fuel pump control unit, was fixed the following day and seems to be running fine now.

i read about the recall.

i'm sure it said they would be doing the replacement at the service rather than a full recall.

but no recall or suggestion of any notice at my local BMW dealer that they are going to do anything yet.

the fault turned out to be a worn fuel pump control unit.

replaced under warranty and had new Tyre fitted at same time.

seems to be running ok now.
