I can't post pictures - is there a post count thing going on?

Hello and welcome - have you brought two fishing rods and a cooked chicken.....?

Flippin' 'eck! My local old bike shop charged me £20 for my loose GTR wheel and I took the old one away. That summer air must be dear dahn sarf....

Bring it on. I doubt I'll be able to afford a new one and I'll need to stick around for another ten years or so to get a used one but why not? I'm surviving out of spite these days anyway.....

Just ordered the crap aire sticker, it was loads easier than the last time I did it in 2016. I think googly translate helped in a big way.

I have a pair of them in the garage. Nice cheap work gloves shame they have not protection I thought leather was the protection? :mrgreen: My old pair of Fieldsheer gloves I bought in 1990 finally gave up last year and there was nothing fancy in them except for ThinsulateTM. You don't always have t...

At least you get a reasonable choice for an RT screen, mine had the sport screen on when I got it. After a couple of soakings and I changed it for the Wunderlich marathon.

Hello and welcome, You'll find Yorkshire a great place to live so don't worry about that. I think the noise problem will be down to tyre choice and the variable road surfaces we have. There's somebody here who will be able to tell you where the noisiest roads are around Humberside for your test ride...

Handy to know as I need a back tyre for my old GTR that's not been on the road since 2015. I have been looking at prices and am shocked at how much some places want for such an older tech tyre My nearest participating dealer is Shorrocks in Preston.

Ordered this EXIDE ETX20CH-BS last night from Tayna and it was here at 1030! 20 minutes to get old battery out and new one in, another 20 minutes trying to get the battery cover back on. Gave up, there's a strap around it.

I bought the Yuasa YTX20CH-BS from Tanya, same size as standard but higher rate, and recommended by Yuasa for the RTLC. F4766DA7-E4E9-4FC7-87D1-CAF405D6E429.jpeg Thanks for that, interesting thing is when I looked at Tayna for this battery to order it, it came up with the EXIDE ETX20CH-BS as a star...

My local Halfrauds online say they have a Yuasa in stock for £78 which is cheaper than the Exide with postage from NN and Tayna but I have to collect in store which is about 8 miles each way, CCA's on Yuasa is 230a while Exide is 170a. Question is do I stump up the dosh for a better battery knowing ...

Not been since 2004 when I went for Bike Week but really enjoyed it and met some interesting people. Has it changed much?

My 2020 showed signs of problems about four weeks after I got it second hand last January. When I questioned the dealer i was told unoficially that the new 1250's eat batteries. I was given a deal on a battery charger and told to keep it hooked up when not in use, which I wasn't happy about but did ...
