Why is it that folk always refer to the deplorable state of UK road as a "Pot Hole" problem. This only serves to detract from reality. The defects commonly referred to as Pot Holes are only a small part of the overall Road Construction and Maintenance regime which here in the UK is a joke....

Still a bit vague to me, paragraph 3 needs clarification in writing.

No good for folk of a certain vintage ! !.

Just tried a quote with Navigator for a week in September to France. Very reasonable, and strangely no questions about any existing health conditions.

Sorry for the " First Ride" report delay. Taxing the bike for an April 1st ride was delayed due to an unexpected surgical procedure but as I'm now on the mend the RT was duly Taxed this morning and a hundred miles achieved in Dry but rather Cold weather. First impression, "Excellent&q...

Just do not rush into it. The right one will turn up. Well said, when looking for my present Twin Cam I travelled to view four Bikes all across the North of England. If you know your RT's I would say buy on "Condition" rather then a Service History which can be false. I viewed One bike at...

Thanks for that Cornish Camhead, I'll give that a go.

No need to worry about Timing Marks. All the Belt does is drive the Alternator. One thing I would query is the Replacement Belt part number. I recently replaced my own Belt (2011 Twincam RT) and after lots of research came to the conclusion that the correct Belt is the 4 PK 592 ELAST. I think there ...

Once again, thanks for the info sakm.
