In my opinion a comfortable distance is 200 / 250 miles a day. Yes, more is easily do-able, and I've done it, but it takes away from the enjoyment. Lots of coffee stops / lunch etc. and reach your nights destination late afternoon.

Found a Yamaha tzr50

I would say that if you are looking to learn how a bike works / is built, then you would be better off buying a rough around the edges runner and doing a refurb job. That way you can take it apart in your own time, taking photo's as you go, and you are sure that you have everything for a running bike. -
Well if you'd gone on holiday and forgot your toothbrush !!

Does it come with those two adornments on the stern ??

I hope they are paying you R&D rate

Ooooh, that's a thankless task. I know, the wife complains about it every year.

Advice on luggage
Yorky replied to Angela Collen's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Check out Lomo dry bags. Various styles and as watertight as a ducks a**e. Hold it on with Rok straps and it's going nowhere. https://www.lomo.co.uk/product-category/dry-bags-boxes/ -

What @S-Westerly said. For what you described as a "cheap" job it looks cracking. -
Yes, they may be a heavy bike but they have a large profile so side on to a strong wind could be very dodgy.

Don't worry, he'll more than recoup that in 2 weeks

My BMW R1250RT came standard with a centre stand, and for a heavy bike it's quite easy to use, even for a shortarse like me.

Temporary Puncture Repair -Tubed Tyre
Yorky replied to Mickly's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
I run Tubeliss http://tubliss.com/tubliss/#panel-intro in my "off roader". Not a cheap option but pressures can be varied, you can actually ride with a flat tyre due to the inner bladder, and it effectively gives you a tubeless tyre that can be repaired with sticky string on the trail if you feel the need. -
Yep, got to agree with that. Anything can have issues, it's how they deal with it that matters

Standard

And that sums up the stupidity of the insurance farce.

Yep, similar. The wifes best friend sat on mine. My fault though, I should have taken them off.

https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/304101139 Only £1.00 from Tesco, just wet it and stick it between the clocks. I usually carry one in a plastic bag in summer, just to clean fly debris off the visor.

Got to say those are the smallest "crash bars" i've ever seen

Comms, GPS commands are actually better (clearer) when you are wearing ear plugs.

Don't know whether you're IPhone or Android but I am Android and using the same app. It has just been updated this week to 5.1.1 and now shows live traffic and suggested diversions to avoid hold ups (apparently)
