  1. That weld goes you're going over with the full weight of the bike on your leg! Saw a posting last week on FB......happened to someone on a CB500X. He was OK apart from bruising but the CB is a comparatively light bike. A lot of people do it.......and 99% of the time it'll be fine. But if you've got a big, heavy bike the consequences could be really bad if it goes. Good point, my bike has a notoriously crap sidestand for instance. Compensated though with an 800 mm seat height though

    HID or LED

    Thanks all for your replies Some of the owners group have got HID dipped beam but standard or LED main beam, I guess for the instant on needed for main beam / flash. I will ask if anyone had MOT issues. I'm thinking now of just changing to quality LED, its there's an MOT issue, it's not a big job to swap out. Anyone here changed to LED ? & where did you get them please.

    HID or LED

    I've got my nose cone off atm for other stuff so while I've got easy access I want to sort the sh1te busa headlight out. Would you, go HID or LED. Apparently HIDS4U do a HID kit for my bike or, & cheaper is the LED route ?
  4. I was trying to create a panic buy did it work Well, it means we're up to 55 paid for
  5. Official numbers are 45 left I was trying to create a panic buy
  6. Only 10 left, get em now folks
  7. What I discovered (eventually) with this one is.... stand to left of centre stand, hand on engine crash bar (NOT handlebar), weight on right leg and pull up and pivot your weight to rear of bike (so your bum does 180 degrees). It hangs momentarily then finally drops onto the stand. Like it's thinking about it. Holding onto the bars just seems not to work well, and it's easy to think you haven't quite got it if you don't keep on it for that extra second. It's then a bit of a pig to get off, probably linked to that extra second it thinks about it (guessing the shape of the foot or something), but I'm sure I'll work that one out as well. I'm told it's easier for heavier folks
  8. Anyone banged their head on the boot lid ? I rest my case

  20. The lead bike looks in contact with the broadside car but the one behind isn't touching anything, possibly the rider dropped it at the end of his emergency stop ?
  21. [mention]Mississippi Bullfrog[/mention] I'm purely guessing the caravans had their coming together before the bikes came along, I don't know the time frame as in had the caravans been blocking the road for a while or not. [mention]rennie[/mention] thankfully not me, I saw it on a facebook post. I hate towing the van on narrow roads. [mention]Stu[/mention] yes, my thoughts entirely
