Took my 2010 RT down to the south in May and just lowered the beam, worked fine for me

Try Altberg, Had a pair of their boots for 7 years now and they are brilliant. I went for the lace up Hog boot, which is great for riding, but also for walking around. But they do make normal touring boots +1 on that mate. I've also got the Hoggs....they are a terrific boot and Altbergs after servi...

I've got both. Best of both worlds.
Two different bikes, two different roles. Both equally good at what they do.


Love them dearly

Last year I managed to put 50l of petrol into my diesel car!!! Then I drove 10 miles, disaster that cost me me about £500 after cost of fuel chucked out, new seals etc etc.... However, I learned then that's it's far worse than diesel to petrol. It's all down to the lunricating quality of the fuels. ...

carried out an annual service today but don't have access to a machine that resets "service" indicator light.
Anyone living locally to Ipswich with access or know anyone who can help? It would be greatly appreciated and a obviously some beer tokens would be forthcoming.... :beer:

I've had one for years. Great bit of kit

A cracking blog John, thank you. You've inspired a trip from me next year. It's over 40 years since I was at Uulapool doing some rock climbing in my Army years. Beautiful part of the world. Well done

anyone know how to do this without spending £250 on a GS 911 diagnostic gizmo??

You're not the first and you won't be the last. Until a bike test is compulsory for cagers then shit will happen.
Glad to hear you're ok and hope the bike situation is sorted soon

I've always used my car portable sat nav for the bikes I've owned over the years. For about £150 you can have a Tom Tom,  free lifetime map updates, waterproof case, ram mounts and lead.


It can be used for car and bike and routes can be done on PC before setting off.
