Nick the wanderer

Welcome. I like a timber shed myself, they breathe better. The metal ones are cold and get a lot of condensation, so damp = not good. Also if you have the space go up a size, you'll appreciate the room when it's done. Alternatively you could just get a bike cover, one or two of folk on here just use those. Good luck.

So I had a 35 and a 91. I used the 91 as my 9. So I'm guessing the 35 is my highest number. Didn't I see someone had a million? That's gonna be hard to beat.

Hi, when we get all 9 numbered pubs and/or cafes do we get a bonus 50 points?

A couple of tags from the map. Faun Cafe. Closed on Mondays, I was gonna get something to eat there too. Ramblers car park. Yes, I got a selfie stick and yes it is all backwards but you get the idea.

How much do you need to raise? Don't folk do a just giving page or similar? Sponsored bike ride?

So if I click to SBS through this site you get bonus points from them? So much I don't know, it just passes me by..

I don't mind using redex and similar for diesel injectors, in the fuel. I used to use something called slick 50 in the oil, it reckoned it coated the surfaces with a teflon coating, made it all more slippy so less grindy, worked in my mind and l was happy with that. Nowadays I'm happy with regular oil changes and wouldn't use any additives.

Hi welcome. My wife is very understanding of my bike spending, I had them long before we ever met. Saying that have you tried sweetening the pot? Try talking about a holiday, she'll soon come round.

I'd love one of these, they look great, I'd go full fairing with the pipe!

Hi, seems a bit odd it all started with the fuel stop. If running lumpy it could be a dodgy batch of fuel, it has been heard of. So maybe start there. Good luck.

All credit goes to the Yamaha CP2 motor.

I considered it and very quickly dismissed it. I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying it's not recommended. That is my opinion.

I roughly go through 2 rears to one front. I also go for grip over longevity as I don't do a million miles and as dry as possible. Currently using Pirellis which I'm happy with.

I don't get it. You only want to ride a road in one direction? One of my favourite roads is great and very different in either direction. If you CBA to have to ride back down a road what's the point of going anywhere?

You really need a Renault Trafic/ Ford Transit size van to comfortably get a bike in and out. As has been suggested a trailer would be a cheaper option and although not the cheapest, Motolug would be my choice. I wouldn't bother even looking at a towbar type carrier for anything heavier than a couple of pushbikes. Good luck!

Hi, sorry to hear about dad. From the pics it looks like he enjoyed what he did, he has changed the front end of the bike, looks a good job although I have to say the rake doesn't look quite right . Probably my eyes or the the angle of the pics. It's a Chinese bike so not worth a great deal but does look good. I bet if you have a search around he will have had a log book for that. They have a for sale section on here. Good luck.

Welcome, a big fat square tyre you want? Maybe start with the size of your rim and see what is available and go from there.

I would highly doubt it would get broken into at a race event at Silverstone. The car park and campsites will be full of similar vehicles. If it was going to be broken into anywhere it would be the services on the motorway, I'd give them a wide berth. Check out any hotel in Oxford, Bicester, Milton Keynes even. You'd only be half an hour or so away. The traffic is awful at Silverstone they have this one way thing going on, nightmare. I'd spend some money on grandstand seating as well if I was you, much better under cover with a screen nearby.

Are you going for race day or the weekend? Not a lot in it price wise, you could camp in the van. Tools in the van? there's a dodgy street in every village, town and city in the country, that's a lottery. Take them out would be my advice, give the van a clean while you are at it!

Four Hoggs related places to get me to the magical 10 and 50 bonus points! Sausage and bacon, a chop perhaps, or ham egg and chips.

Has it got petrol in it?

Depends on the insurer some state brick built concrete floor etc but there are options

Aahh l thought they did it out on the road, that makes it a bit clearer thanks

I take it you have a clean license?

Hi, welcome to the insurance nightmare. Have you considered a smaller bike, just something to get a years NCB ? Bike insurance is separate from your car so you'll have to start from scratch. Garaged helps..
