Add your name to the list so we can see who is coming.

MikeS (I can be there for 9.30).

Its good (for the want of a better word ) that you came away with minor injuries, as has been said many times before the bike can be replaced.
Hope that you heal up over the next few days.

Out and about today delivering donated breast milk to neonatal units.

I had a similiar problem with the OEM high seat, sliding about when i was wearing textile trousers. Bought the triboseat universal seat pad, worked well but just looked a bit shite. Ended up buying the bike specific cover but unfortunately it doesn't fit the high seat particularly well but looks bet...

https://www.trustedtyres.co.uk/ If you're in this chaps catchment area and need tyres I recommend Jon's company. Had a rear puncture and as both tyres were reaching the end of their useful life opted to replace the pair. Came today and did the work. Punctual , friendly and a good price. Plenty of po...

I will leave it till the end of the month, to give other a say as to what date is best for them and everyone.
It would be nice to get a 6+ size group of us together.

If its any help, I'm not fussed if its raining or dry.

If mid-week how about May 7th , 8th or 9th
If weekend, how about May 11th or 12th

Could do the 7th ,8th or 9th.

Hello all, I was just thinking if there are any members who would like to meet up for a coffee and a ride out. There are some great roads around the Brecon area to ride. But if anyone else has a thought on where and when, post it on here. I was thinking of meeting up in mid May at Abber Bus Station...

Picked up a nail in the rear tyre this morning, noticed after a drop in the tyre monitors pressure on the dash. Got home and tried to plug it with a rats tail, no joy. As both tyres are nearing the end of their useful life have arranged a recommended mobile tyre fitter to replace both on friday. Off...

I replaced my battery on my 2016 last year more out of precaution really! The battery was good but a couple of times I had the bike not turn over and the clocks reset so I thought best to be safe than sorry :) Mine does the same if i use the kill switch or stall the bike. Won't start unless i turn ...

He's busy trying to drum up some interest in a UK meet this year.

My 2019 is still on the original. Do about 10k miles a year and use it during the winter, dont know if this helps its longevity .

Sadly David you might not have a lot of luck with this request. Most of the serial attendees are committed Michael's meet up in July. If there's no interest then possibly best to concentrate on the 2025 meet which hopefully the usual suspects will be available for (and some new faces).

It wouldn't happen to be a mate of yours selling this?

My friends just bought one of the new 1300 gs's. Quote to change from his present bike1800 quid then they decided they wouldn't cover him. Got 850 quid with Bennetts in the end. Only got a years no claims. Out of interest I tapped my own details on the same bike onto a comparison site with my full ...
