Re: GrainStorm IV

I've made a mark in my diary for November 2025. By that time, I may have been able to save up enough for road tax, Insurance, MOT, Tyres, CCTs and enough fuel to get me to there and back again. :lol: And that's straight down and straight back up, keeping as close to the 1,220 miles as I can (I ...

Re: Denali Soundbomb Mini

Hello JNB. I've not used the Denali mini horn, but do know someone who has one fitted to their bike (not a VTR). It is indeed a ''plug n play'' horn (you might have a choice of spade terminals to connect it, as Denali spades may have a choice of thin or wide terminals. It's a fair bit bigger than ...

Had a fair few dogs in de past, but last one was a choccy lab. Joined at the hip we were and a proper dog that was into bikes. Rev the knackers off something, and he's there, tail going 10 to the dozen. Crafty bugger had a thing for screwdrivers, and would steal one as soon as you turned yer back. A ...

Re: Packaging!!!

We all know breakers sell millions of bits, and so packing costs are wanting to stay as low as possible. Which is fine using bags for small items (non perishable/breakable things), but I agree: plastics need to get sent in a box. As does glass (I wonder what they would have done of you asked for the ...

Ach Jeez, now THAT's a bummer. :thumbdown: You can claim everything back - as you have photographic proof of inedadquate or unsuitable packing materials for the contents within. I had this a few years back when I bought a pipe ashtray, and the seller wrapped it up in ONE sheet of paper, then slung ...
