Re: To all the newbies

If there are some many newbies, where are they all getting their Firestorms from? OK, I can account for potentially 1, but Honda stopped making these years ago.

Aside from Padgetts with their NOS (teal umm..) storm, is someone else knocking these up on the side? lol

Re: insurance companies again

My understanding is that no such modification could automatically invalidate insurance completely. The same goes for "illegal" exhaust pipes and such. I have absolutely no proof of this but just based on my own knowledge over the years regarding insurance and law, an insurer cannot refuse ...

Re: Ebay optimist.......again!

It got sold tonight on account of my wifes bottom! Not her fault, I did agree to it because I'd like us to do some touring this year so she didnt force me bless her.

Sad day, but still, plenty more fish in the sea...or something.

Re: Boots etc

I have Alpinestars SMX4 summer boots. Now yes, Alpinestars is overpriced BUT....I cannot fault the quality so far and I have a long standing affinity for the brand. I got a bargain price on the prior years range and to be honest, for £100, I cant fault them. PS. Dont forget to start a "biking ...

Bikeless!

Oh dear me, Well, the (very nice) chap came to pick up my VTR tonight and I am officially bikeless. Feels like I am naked although sadly for any admirers, I am not. Dont worry, I pointed the countrys newest VTR owner to this forum. The question is now, what to do next. I'm buggered if I can decide w...

Re: Any lorry drivers here??

One of my best friends is a class 1 driver. According to him (and he complains about it fairly often) the work has dropped off a lot in the last year or so. Theres still the odd shift about but a lot of it are what he calls "junk", such as awful retail drops and such. Over Christmas he str...

Re: Public

Wouldnt you offering vocally and then them offering their arm to find yours be considered consent? Not wanting to wade into a debate on a subject I know very little about although, I would have thought the act of them offering their arm (as opposed to you grabbing it), would be an indication of cons...

Bloody chain lube...

Anyone have any suggestions for a non-flingy chain lube. Every single brand I try sprays lube all over my shiny gold wheels on the first trip out after a chain and sprocket clean. Surely theres a brand somewhere that doesnt do this or is at least less likely to. We're not talking about applying exce...
