I've PM'd yer too

Haven't got HID yet but is on the shopping list for this year. However, I have read somewhere that 8000K is at the high (blue end) of the spectum - looks great but actually emits less far less light than a 4000K, so be careful with what you order in the HID range, (4-6K seems to be the best).

And ...

Yeah, and it was a dog. I rode it about 15 months ago before I finally got my silver one from SBW at Hertford. Where abouts in Essex are you?

Welcome to the site TTT, there are a few of us Essex folk here. Great site, and members, you're gonna enjoy it here, and the bike of course. Did you get the bike from Parkies in Colchester?

I am sure there will be some more guys along soon to help you out here, who are far more learned on this subject. But there are a hundreds of threads on the site about engine oil.

The opinions that I have read on the site is that 20w-50 is a minimum must have, and this is for 'UK weather ...

I'm a newbie trixster too. You have made the right first choice - Brilliant choice of bike, now welcome to the second - Boxertrix. This site is brilliant, loads of riders with so much experience, the threads are amazing - all your questions will be answered here! Thorough gents ...

Already had new BT020's on mine when I got the bike last year. Only covered 3000 miles, with lots of tread still left. Seem OK but I have nothing to judge them against. How long do front/rears last?

The only problem I have is the vague front end which I believe is more of a bike-thing than a tyre ...

At the end of the day guys I tend to agree with Throttlemeister - you can't take it away from Schumi - he was the best in his field for many years, but he did make F1 a little boring, as he was so good, regardless of driving conditions!!

I, for one, rate him as one of the best F1 drivers of all ...

Thanks Lars.

You have had an expensive week my friend in more ways than one!

Hey Lars where did you get your tyre pressure thingy?
