Re: Passenger Footpeg lowering kit
Are they only lowering or can they be adjusted to make them put the passengers feet forward?

Re: Cover for RT
I bought an Ultragard half cover for my Pan European from Amazon.co.uk ( https://www.amazon.com/UltraGard-4-458G-Charcoal-Touring-Motorcycle/dp/B000VVSPX2 ) [size=78%]for about £30, primarily as a dust cover for garage use, and also for covering the bike for both security and sun protection whilst t...

Re: Motorcycle Tour Operators or DIY
Been touring since the late 80's. initially in France generally camping but taking a cheap motel every few nights. In those days we headed south without any real plans, making considered route decisions the night before with the assistance of plenty of cheap wine, and stopping at about 4pm each day ...

Re: Leathers
I thought Crowtree had stopped trading a few years ago. I seem to remember reading that the owner had retired and then sadly died. Might be wrong however. No, sadly you’re right. Alec passed several years ago having retired and then returned to work ‘cos he missed it so much. Lovely peopl...

Re: Innovv C5 Helmet Camera
I have a C5 as a fitted bike cam having bought it to replace a Dogcam Bullet + that let in water and rusted up. So far the C5 has proved to be pretty good, I don't think it has the best definition for reading reg. nos. but then it isn't the price of a GoPro... Fitting, when I found somewhere suitabl...

Re: Leathers
I always wear the combination of textile jacket/leather trousers (or Jods as they were known in my last job). I had a couple of sets made up for me by CROWTREE leathers in Louth, Lincs., over 20 years ago. They do keep the heat in warm weather but for me they're far more comfortable and safer than t...

Re: Varifocal glasses
I wear varifocal glasses, but on the bike I find (daily disposable) contact lenses much more convenient. More comfort, no misting, no fear of dropping them when putting on or taking off the helmet. My prescription is the same for each eye, so I was given a "distance" lens for my...

Re: Moto GP
Vale's not having the best of times at the moment but he's a big crowd puller and figurehead for Yamaha. Considering his age he's not doing badly but the fact is that he so obviously enjoys it... so I wouldn't bet on him retiring soon. I've been to visit his Pizza Cafe a few years ago and ...

Re: Retired or about to retire?
I retired about 12 years ago aged 58 and immediately moved to France with a Honda Blackbird, which was fun but not really a touring bike. On my return to the UK in 2009 I part-ex'd the BB for an ST1300 shortly after meeting my (now) wife 'cos it's no fun for a Blackbird pillion! Now the Pan's got a ...

Re: Wilbers WESA suspension
Sounds a great buy. My previous bike was a ST1300 Pan European with Honda's infamous basic suspension that struggled when the bike was fully laden, but found a top of the range Wilbers rear shock for £250 from Ebay. It went straight off to Revs Susp in sunny Brum for a service and re-springing. It p...
