  2. Pavement Isn't that where the pedestrians are?..... Not usually when I ride my 'Storm on the pavement. i wasthinking Pottersfield???
  3. i prefer the look of the razor, they both are very similar, , 0.1 mil of protection difference, personally i use leathers of 3 mm minimum, with protek at joints and back
  4. hmmmmmmm, i,m off to St marys Loch , the weekend before this, so i take in maybe 3 or 4 tags,,,,,,,, but this looks enticing! if I may tag along? depends on the logistics!!

    Nail in tyre

    Hey Gary, I'm just repeating what they told me. They took the nail out of mine and it was OK.....and didn't charge anything for putting it up on the ramp and checking it out. I know these guys pretty well and I'm sure they weren't just saying it so that I'd have to buy a new tyre off them if the nail had gone through. Just preparing Sigil that it may be a little more expensive than he's expecting......hope to god though that he is lucky and it's not gone through......or, if it has, his tyre is repairable.... I think it depends on the repairer , I now remember reading about high rating tyres not being ( legally) repaired, maybe on a forum thread, but my tyres are Zr rated , on a bird?, i,ve had 2 repaired on it, 1 had 3 different patches cos the repairer thought to do a belt and braces job, tho only one area was letting air in
  6. i lost 2, this is Miners at Winster http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/mrrushwind/tmbf/chall100xx002.jpg and Fishpond c/p, Matlock Bath http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/mrrushwind/tmbf/chall100xx004.jpg

    Nail in tyre

    Ah that dose seem cheep, prob a bit more for a larger tyre but hopefully under £25 for the job I,ve had punctures repaired for £10, and £15........ best advice is to leave the nail in,,,,,,its as good as a temporary plug( for a short while anyway), only go down the road of temporary repairs as a 'get u home' method,,,,,,,,as lots of professional repairers wont repair a temp fix, that is plug or fluid, , a professional repair should include an inside patch ( not just a plug), then the tyre will last until worn down, or punctured again!
  8. and today!, snow out on the derbyshire fields!!!,,, would have been out yesterday , but had to put a new dipped headlight bulb in,,,,,,,,,,,,
  9. lotsofapps, one just need to browse, 1st , try to find any that you NEED, , cos there is a plethora ( sunday word), but, be careful!!! there is a very big scare at the moment , of android virus, the apps look quite legit,,,,,,,then after opening,,,strange things happen!!!, so whatever you decide on downloading, just make sure its kosher???
  10. a few more tags raven cafe http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/mrrushwind/tmbf/chall100x010-1.jpg ponderosa http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/mrrushwind/tmbf/chall100x012.jpg whistlestop, n.wales http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/mrrushwind/tmbf/chall100x014-1.jpg petrolheads http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/mrrushwind/tmbf/chall100x016-1.jpg

  12. In my youth,I would get wet because of medieval technology, getting wet incurs getting cold too,,,, in recent years I've bought 'supposedly' "waterproof" gear,,,,,,textile jacket, trousers, boots and gloves none are,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!!!,,,,maybe showerproof, or waterproof for a short time??? my leathers are reasonably water resistant, one must keep them treated with nikwax or such like but the holy grail is Gortex
  13. its a generic 'he'??? just like the royal 'We' i spose if replaced with 'she' it would make more sense??? ( runs and hides from female wrath)

  22. Hi Gill, Bassetts in Howard place,Shelton,stoke on trent, have a range of givi's on display, they would probably even let you check out the look on the bike, best deals are probably DK in Newcastle ( -u-lyme), but they dont display, my topbox thats usually on is a massive 52L?, but if i were you , i'd still go for a larger size rather than smaller, the 42 L are suposed to hold 2 full face , handy if u go somewhere and need to secure helmet, and extras,,,,,,,,as myriam said, theres no prob with excess weight, unless Tesco shopping 3 full carriers can produce a light front end
  23. http:// http://www.xsmotorcycleschool.co.uk/Ima ... iagram.pdf Has anyone ever told you how valuable professional training can be? It'd help to overcome the "physically impossible" feelings thankyou bogoff, i now know what colour cones the D.S.A have a penchant for? but as for deciphering the diagram re widths for exercises, hm?
