I take it that unless it is in the location search, you cannot add it by creating a new location?

Agreed and his recommended bike lock is the Kryptonite Evolution Chain Lock (Series 4). I know he means bicycle, but it would do for a motorbike.
-
I cannot find either, typing them into the location finder.

Stu, the Ride On cafe in Hillington, Glasgow has closed down. However, nearby in Mossland Dr, Hillington, there are two cafes, one at the Triumph/Ducati dealers and another next door at West Coast Harley. Post code G52 4FA. At the moment, the Harley one still opens when it can, the other has closed meantime, but should be back when all this virus crap ends.

As the LockpickingLawyer states, no lock is resistant to someone who knows what they are doing, which is any thief who knows how to buy a decent cable cutter, in this case HK Porter 28" for about £90.

I have made the same mistake in the past. I still have a centre stand in the shed that was the wrong one. You could try and resell them.

I just posted the first link I found, I have no idea what "Wish" is, and I did say check and shop around. Here is another on ebay, twice the price; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Yamaha-YBR125-YBR-125-2005-2009-Left-Right-Side-Panel-Battery-Cover-Black/184364179059?epid=16003390053&hash=item2aecf61e73:g:ZM0AAOSwTIRfEcpr

It looks like you need this; https://www.wish.com/product/5ec79ad785f4c7102c5be70c?hide_login_modal=true&from_ad=goog_shopping&_display_country_code=GB&_force_currency_code=GBP&pid=googleadwords_int&c={campaignId}&ad_cid=5ec79ad785f4c7102c5be70c&ad_cc=GB&ad_curr=GBP&ad_price=32.00&campaign_id=6493229882&exclude_install=true&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2uH-BRCCARIsAEeef3nN6JqBmVQoDC2SsjjpUDHNKVr_d_IjOsmSMo53nF6R8EdwcyGRB28aAiIQEALw_wcB&share=web That gives measurements so you can check if it is correct and the hole for the bolt lines up. You just need to get the correct sized bolt, preferably stainless steel as it is less likely to corrode. For £8 you could get this job lot and renew various bolts on your bike. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193536141548 Please note, I have found examples, I have not checked them or shopped about for the best price.

I don't think you need to be able to service your bike. I do think a biker should be able to clean and adjust the chain and check the oil level. It is a good idea to be able to change bulbs, adjust the idle and brake/clutch lever if they are adjustable.

Not downhill. https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/tour-de-france/122kph-jeremy-roy-went-even-faster-tour-de-france-stage-nine-258371 "Leigh Howard showed that he sped along at 122kph at one point on stage nine of the Tour de France, but he wasn’t the fastest rider on the road on Sunday. Jeremy Roy (FDJ) recorded 127kph (79mph) on the descent of the Côte de la Comella while Marcus Burghardt (BMC) topped out at 130.7 (81.2mph) on the long downhill section from the first climb, according to his Strava upload" https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/pros-hit-astonishing-speeds-130kmh-tour-de-suisse-descent-335610 "Pros hit astonishing speeds of more than 130kmh on Tour de Suisse descent" I know an ex-pro cyclist who trains others to improve their downhills using roads in the Cairngorms. I was doing 70 mph, but I was quite far behind. Whether they reached 70mph is another matter, but they must have been doing in the 60s or else I would have caught them up.

Possibly, though considering some of the high speed crashes in the Tour de France and other races, pro cyclists capable of such speed somehow manage to crash and not be cut to pieces.
-
I followed two cyclists on the Lecht Road downhill towards Cock Bridge and at one point I was doing 70 mph. I could not have caught up with them even if I tried.

Freezing winter ride over Bealach na Ba. Hot summer night ride with Venus shining bright.

I was inspired by the legendary hair removal cream reviews on Amazon.

Dry roads this morning, so a short run just to blow away the cobwebs.

How can I leave a review for the snoods? https://themotorbikeforum.co.uk/forum/store/product/1-the-motorbike-forum-snood/
-
Is that because everything is shut and you had to forage for mushrooms? Sadly, that is very close to the truth. All of the cafes in Arrochar were closed and only one place in Luss was open. I dread to think of the loss of trade and how many are out of a job

I wave at 125cc bikes like I am the Queen, since compared to them, my 1043cc is royalty.

Before Queen Nicola I makes travel illegal, I rode to Argyll and up and down the Old Military Road that is being used due to landslides blocking the A83 at the Rest And Be Thankful. Pretty hairy on the tight bends stuck between artic lorries that make it by inches. Then a vegan lunch ( ) at Luss on the banks of Loch Lomond.

Annual service. Only done just over 1000 miles this year and most of that has been local runs just for a ride out.
-
Ride out in very heavy rain. Stayed dry, but time to put the winter linings in.
-
Also most costly one - where do I get the time, especially when the days are short and beer gets opened earlier and earlier in the evening Chucking a few buckets of water over the bike, especially around the callipers and engine to wash away salt is quick and free. I am lucky and have an outside tap next to my bike and use a hose. The one time I did not do that, because it was freezing and I did not the path to ice over and I could not rinse the bike for a couple of days, it finally rusted just in that short time. I have had a succession of bikes used all year round and the rinse when I got home was more effective than any ACF50 or similar.
