Congratulations!

Nothing says climate justice like making a load of unnecessary work for an overworked minimum wage shop assistant.

I wear "waterproof" textiles over my jeans, but they only really keep a light shower away. Unless you spend serious money on laminated or goretex gear then maybe don't expect too much. Even my one piece rainsuit has been known to let water in around the crotch where it pools.

It was something I saw on a YouTube video. Apparently, you could get hit, dump the clutch involuntarily, grip the throttle and go flying. Or something. I'm with you though. Leave it in gear, keep an eye on the mirror and have an escape route ready. Plenty of space in front as well.

Barstewards.

Front or rear facing?

Not with MCE on third party.

I agree, but I there is a school of thought that believes being in neutral is safer. They call it the Hendon Shuffle.

Found a couple more..

I was wondering about a custom stainless system but not sure about the legality of removing the cat.

Ye, it's a common thing, apparently. Exhausts made of tinfoil.

I nod at all bikers. Even when I'm in the car, which can confuse some people.

Funnily enough I have knocked up something temporary that looks remarkably similar. Looking through the Triumph forums it seems like a common (and expensive) problem.

Hi all. Bike is a 2013 Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 Thought it sounded a bit throaty this afternoon. Looks like one of the three tabs in a join under the belly pan has rotted off. Not sure if it's been repaired previously. I have a welder here, but not confident it's worth trying to patch. Anyone any idea what I'm looking at in terms of cost to repair? Not sure whether it will be just the centre section, or the front pipes too.

Mine's the IXS Navigator Jacket and matching trousers from J&S. They're textile, with removable waterproof drop liner and thermal layers. Price-wise, nowhere near the Rukkas of this world, but plenty warm enough, well ventilated and keeps rain off, to a point. I thought removable layers would be useful in hot weather, but it was too baggy without its inners, so I picked up a mesh jacket for the summer. While the Navigator is much cheaper (and probably a bit more breathable) than laminated jackets, the downside is that it's not as waterproof. Ordinary textile jackets tend to get "wetted out" after a while - the material soaks up water rather than repels it and donning sopping wet gear for your commute home is no fun. So for wet weather, particularly if it's cold, I'll add a Richa Typhoon rainsuit, which has the added advantage of keeping road dirt off the textiles.

How do

Hi and welcome.

Someone was telling me they couldn't sell cut trees for firewood as the wood needed to be kiln dried. Seemed a bit mad to me, as any wood stood for two years will be bone dry.

Yes, that was how the thing "felt" - wiggle the plug and power goes off. But, shouldn't have assumed... I have 2 identical units, which helped with the diagnosis.

I'm an idiot. The fault appears to be in the cable.

Not sure what to make of this.. The adapter plug that goes into the unit seems to be very sensitive to movement and the whole thing keeps cutting out. I thought the soldering might be loose, but it seems rock solid.

Congrats!

Did it start after the new tyres were fitted? Were the wheels balanced correctly?
