That's impressive! How do 'wind' it to the 'up' position?
Seems to have good reviews - thanks.
Does the water based stuff clean off 'baked on' brake dust from car alloy wheels? I've always used more chemical based (horrible stuff) which does a good job but I'd like to use a more friendly...
Not much to add in 'tips or pointers' but I travelled around the NC500 and around Skye from mid April to mid May this year. Unfortunately I couldn't take my motorbike (but I would next time). We...
@Stanford - many thanks for the reply and links!
I have considered fitting the protective covers but I have promised myself that it won't happen again...................! :dread:
Two years ago I also 'parked' my RT1200LC on its right side whilst stationary. My wife was riding pillion and I lost my footing and, whilst Mrs Eddiex is tiny, couldn't hold the bike up right and and...
He sounds like a 'proper biker', not a fair weather weekend one like me! I think he'll regret it. In my 50's I travelled across to the Alps on an early Buell and whilst fun in the tighter roads it...

I’ve had this one for 11 years. I’m the second owner of this one - the first being the police [emoji15] (so in...

Great bikes! I really enjoy mine. I am tempted by the latest R1250RT though.

Like you I have a 'mish mash' of tools collected over the years. I purchased a few snap on tools but on balance I don't do enough serious spannering to justify them really.
For the occasional...
I agree - I have also been through this process over the years and as I become more sensible (old, boring, etc fill in what you wish here!) I keep my bikes standard with OE exhausts. I remember when...
That is very nice! How does the bike handle on the 'nobbly' tyres compared to the standard ones? I've not ridden a Bonnie but I understand that they are nice and neutral in standard form.
I've had a Roof Boxer for many years. The quality is not Arai or Shoei but still very good and I really like the full 'flip lid'. The front visor lifts all the way back behind the back of your head...
I've not been following new models that have been introduced over the last few years but I've seen one of these frequently riding past near to where I live which happens to near to the main dealer -...
Cool bike! I don't have the skill set to custom build that sort of thing so for me he R9T tick a lot of boxes for me and is similar enough to that one.
Some nice bikes in this thread!
Nice, I like that! Not everyones cup of tea but I think the old airheads have so much character. Mine is an ex police bike in standard trim and I'm resisting the urge to make a cafe racer or flat...
Excellent video/videos! I have an old airhead that I need to lavish some love on and this guy is inspiring me to get out in the garage - not that I have anywhere the level of skill or tools that he...
