crossgates is where the a44 crosses the a483???, the cafe is a little east of the roundabout? texaco fuel, the heavenly road is from the roundabout on A44 to the right( north) the A483 to Newtown

i mean on the way home but yea. coasting with the engine off.

how is it not being in control? the brakes still work and being a steep hill I would be dining an prospectu speed. I can just say it broke down

you can say it just broke down, , but yould still be coasting , and not in full control because you cant drive out of any situation that occurs without restarting, and that takes time,,,,thats the view of the law,

I,m not saying u shouldnt do it, the idea is commendable

just be wary, they are marvellous tools, but i had probs with a caliper cover, tho mine was allen head, so you'ld think it easier to move with an impact, i ended up with a rounded out allen head!, too much power, with soft metal!

£45 for 320 miles seems ok?, that s roughly 160 miles/18 litres?,

comparable to my bird'sconsumption

#, tho u do hav lesspower so maybe expect more mpg

if you mean not starting the engine til u r down the hill? and rolling in neutral?

that wont do any harm,

although coasting is wrong , as you dont have full control, i dont spose you/ld be pulled for it

if it helps then yes. when thinking of signals, ask yourself

would a signal benefit?

would a signal confuse?

simples

but remember, u hav more signals than indicators, even the position of your vehicle

twice happy birthday!

i.ve been wondering about this,

I'd love to come for the lakes ride, and maybe tag Hawes, but,

keeping an eye on the weather, you need a miracle

so no camping for me, already been "Wet in the Lakes" this summer,

#but

if the miracle occurs, i may just see how Saturday looks

ay up shaun,

you need either a 428HD-130 HD CHAIN or 428H(RJ) X 130, not to sure what the difference is , but both fit, i think 1 is a'gold', hm, if chain is worn, it will usually put more wear on the sprockets, and usually front sprockets will wear more rapidly asthey make more turns, so, take a look at the teeth on the sprockets, if any look at all hooked, then replace,,,,,

front sprocket is only about £4 anyway

Another few added

 

looks like you had a good day out GOG

but not in Wales???

But not for the bike.

I often see threads on here discussing tyres and their failings on bikes.....well, I got a nail or something in one of the rear tyres on my car....the tyres are "run flat" and there's no spare or tyre repair compound with the car. So I went into the local "approved" tyre place yesterday.....after a lot of drawing breath and whistling the guy told me that it could take a week to get a new tyre in the correct size and rating... The car is 2 1/2 years old....so it's not like it's some old model with odd sized tyres...... At least with my bike I could be pretty much assured of getting a tyre fitted same day or next.....

So I'm gonna have to limp it through the next few days by frequent visits to filling stations to top the air up......which is gonna be real fun.....

If I didn't have to carry so much cr*p around with me for the job I'd consider using the bike.......but looking forward to a nice little run to Sheffield tomorrow....200 mile round trip........nice...

I went from John O'Groats to Ullapool via Durness. The road from Durness to Ullapool is IMHO the worlds greatest road with the worlds best views.
