You ask this on a watch forum………… Five yrs ago seven , then house move down to four. Now just two ,but they keep on changing :)
I think other than Downer on here , you must be packing away more miles than any of us other bikers over the winter. Well done, you will certainly be ready for your full test( Part 2 ?) soon. Then...
My first legal bike 50cc Puch MS50D, bought at 16 , 7000 miles in the first year then swapped just before 17 th birthday for a “proper bike”. Laughable thing is the Puch was a real pedal and pop so...
Your Kwacker stable looks to be growing :)
Definitely agree with this^^^^^^^. Over Covid lots of bikes and vehicles went way over service limits on both time and miles. If you look at the new Triumph Speed 400 the service interval (after the...
Tony if you are using this measure for your garage internal dimensions, remember to factor in “ wriggle room” for parking the bike . If your T120 has a main stand it rocks back about 4” on it. If...
Not bike related, but there is a lovely quiet lanes walk from Carrog to Llangollen. You pass the start of Llangollen canal too. Takes about 2/3 hrs we did it late last year.
My view for what its worth on classics that you own is , unless you have a defined need for the cash you raise then dont do it. Ok room in the shed and all that. I got carried away with seven bikes ,...
I had a 1961 BSA SS80. ( C15 with a high conp engine) It was my second Brit bike the first was maybe 40 yrs ago and that one blew up.
There is a comprehensive range of suppliers who make parts...
Wow bit a difference from stock ^^^^^^^^^ to your Kellerman set up
Glad its not just my quirky view of bikes. If it was gold pinstriped it would be better, but Im still not sure it ADDs to the bikes looks, rather it DISTRACTS which is no good thing. The way the gold...
Martylaa bikes aren’t like dogs, they are not for life. If that green FE sings to you as much as it does to me I would go for it. If nothing else it scratches the itch.
Im not sure the nose...
Ive read some good reviews of the Beeline and am used to using small gps units when I go cycling. I too am going to kep an eye out for one to use on my scoot. There is a crowdfund for a new all...
There is a reason for my caution, each year up until this year UKGSER had a camp at Dent in May. It was a Friday to Sunday affair. One intrepid traveller turned up early on the Thursday choosing the...
Be careful on the Ingleton the Dent road, its a gated road thats steep and cambered. Take care parking the bike at each gate, so it doesnt drop off its stand.
Having said that the decent and the...
Cant disagree, unfortunately sold two years ago. But on a positive note new owner has done 4X the annual mileage I used to do on it ;)

Great minds and all that ;)
Enfield do rocker gear levers , my pal has fitted one to his Classic 350. Theres a thread on “ heel toe shifting” on the Triumphrat forum, I guess it depends what castings and linkages are around...
Dont think thats white T I think its a pale blue sort of duck egg from previous photos. Lovely bike too

I agree I was surprised as the few folk I know who have older eg 990/ 1190’s love theirs. The lad with the 890 said it was all electrical gremlins on his.
Interesting thing this KTM reliability. My Indian built bike ( 390 Duke) never put a foot wring in two years of ownership ( other than a weak Exide battery). However I was talking to a lad in a bike...
Mine too! :)
Thanks to Tony for the link and Enoch for the sizing guidance, now where do I order sunshine and balmy riding days
Enoch , Woods fitted a electro pneumatic shifter to my cousins boyfriends Speed Triple. He also has a thumb mounted rear brake as he has two artificial legs. He’s touring Germany in six weeks time on...
Definitely this ^^^^^ more swept area plus better cooling as heat dissipation is better. Just this week I have been looking in MCN at the massive air scoops on the 2024 MotoGP bikes. Their disks are...
