Anyone else found Freddie Dobbs' Youtube channel?

Does a lot of stuff on Harleys, Triumphs, Enfields etc, and I find his channel quite 'watchable'.

Vapour-blasting seems to be the new method, and you can find several people offering the service on a kind of 'paying hobby' status.

Have a search on Facebook Marketplace. I doubt you'd have to...

How much per month do those cost? You have piqued my interest, as now I only wear my fixed contacts for my motorbike. My other concern with varifocals on glasses is that you end up tilting your...

I remember the Monteverdi HAI from teenage years pouring over the Daily Mail? Car Show edition each year.

Have a look at PCspecialist website and see what configs they have ready to go.

Great machines, good to deal with and plenty of options.

All I managed was new bearings on R-1 wheel, and a sore back……. [emoji22]

Interesting to read of the experiences - I wondered if they were for me.

Yeah- often used for rocking applications, but I'd have thought there was very little motion at all - there.

But - Triumph ain't gonna make a mistake with it.

Looks like a needle-bearing in one end?

It’s non-rotating, I’d expect plain bushing (or cushion sleeve like other end).

Out of interest - I plotted a non-peage rout from Calais………

Could be a leisurely 5 day jaunt. [emoji106]

The "Turnograph".

Good for you!

If you haven't already taken the "hazard awareness" computer bit (whatever it is called) - be careful of noticing the hazards too early. People who have driven a lot - tend to see...

New tyres fitted, but the mechanic noticed front bearings a bit rough - SO..... I managed to read the bearing code (non-std wheels) and ordered up two sets of SKFs - so that will be the weekend's...

That is quite stunning.:thumbsup:

I think the S1000XR does the same - just in a different way. I DO Like twin-cyl instant grunt, though.

Too many choices when it comes to bikes - and some stonking S/H bikes on Facebook etc, at...

I'm not a huge fan of The Missenden Flyer, but stuck this one out to the end.

I don't like the rear fender - looks way too ancient.

But overall - I have to say, BMW have given the bike a very...

I sensed this is how a sole trader I used - was working. Transferred the money to his account when complete.

I'm not sure - although I discovered that I have shrunk 2" in the last ??? years (I hope it is in the last 10 years and not since 2023!).

I started on the low seat, but then bought the HP seat...

My original 2016 one - I fitted bar-end weights and a low seat before I even rode it, and couldn't discern any unusual vibes through the bars.

No bar vibes on either that or the subsequent 2019...

In the Borders - we had a fairly long trial period, where people got used to the limits. Did that not occur in Wales?

A lot of complaints, but it was passed (albeit their statistical analysis,...

Out for a short run and a sit in the sun - to St Mary’s Loch. Lots of bikes out and when I counted at one point- 7 out of 27 bikes were BMW GS/GSAs.

Usual bunch of dicks revving fuel-injected...
