Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Just got back from 4 days around the Rutland area, one of which was with an MCN journalist on part of the MCN250 test track (road). Fantastic roads, really wasn't expecting them to be that good. I knew the Melton to Market Harborough road was good, but the other back roads he took us ...

Re: Stonesie's GS Mods, Farkles and Tinkering
... we have it and the insurance should cover that. In the words of Tony, You are fully comp and the bike is a month old, they should pay the on the road price and don't accept anything less. They also can't replace your bike, there are no 1250 Triple Blacks left in the UK as production has shifted ...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I took the sx out for a few hours and treated myself to full English breakfast, my first in a few weeks. Biking on our roads isn't as much fun as it should be. Regardless of the time of day, the roads are busy. The standard of driving is appalling. The roads are physically broken ...

... box from eBay containing a plug and play horn, the low tone horn from a BMW E46. Should give it a good honk instead of the "meep, meep" road runner horn. For £10 I will find out.

Re: Road Tax Rip Off
Moor Street will have thousands of vehicles go through it every day. It's incredibly busy around there.

Re: Road Tax Rip Off
Over what period??.... the reason I ask is in the Moor Street example, that would amount to over 175 fines per day if taken over a one year time-line, which seems a little extravagant, if not unlikely.

The biggest thing is how readily it turns, it is on the Michelin Anakee Adventure tyres, reading up on them they're almost a road 5 with a slightly off road capable tread pattern.

Re: The electric car revolution
Government should be investing in clean cheap public transport for urban areas, not building new roads.
Then you make motoring expensive in urban areas.
Also vehicles that pollute more should be taxed more both on new prices and annual road tax.
