Sometimes you have luck on your side and sometimes not! Your close shave reminded me of a morning in 1977, going to work on my Bonnie in the rain, when travelling on the main road with a post office van at a junction ahead and on my left. I was doing about 45, when I got closer to the junction he pu...

Just in case you missed Steve's post which refers to Mobil 1 use in a 500k GS1100. "http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=889016 and here the owner describes how he's only on the 2nd clutch .... in 486,000 miles! http://www.advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5541928&postcount=8 ______...

Not wishing to fuel the fire too much there is what I believe is decent information in here http://ferrarichat.com/forum/faq.php?faq=haas_articles Interested by the comment 'synthetic is too thin'? Wow, Thanks for the link, what an article, I was trained by Rolls Royce as an engineer a very very lo...

Had my R1100ss nearly a year so took it for an mot today to an old bike racer, I have known for years, he has a bike repair business; it passed as expected. However whilst chatting about bikes he told me that Mobil One is too thin for my engine and that the balance shaft chain tensioners would be no...

We all do it eventually! When I put petrol in my Diesel Merc, I was tired it was late, dark and the pump pipe was black (which since I usually used Shell I thought meant it diesel), no excuses really! Filled it full of petrol and managed to drive for 5 miles with it steadily getting rougher...... Wh...

I wonder if a letter you got signed by the new owner stating that they have not been given permission by you to ride the bike on your insurance would effectively negate any potential case the insurance company may have against you? The law is not always justice and the rules are just black and white...

I did as mentioned before have an Enfield bullet . They use a separate cable operated decompressor which is threaded into the head /exhaust port like a sparkplug. Starting technique is to ease up to compression with the kickstarter and use the decompressor to get just over TDC. This allows you maxi...

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed reading about your trip. I have only been through Germany once many years ago when we were camping, our aim was to stop in the black forest but the rain was coming down heavy so we ended up going straight on into Switzerland, the sun came out as we crossed over the border!

It also means you went past my house

Wow, I didn't realise. You live in such a beautiful area, I had to keep stopping to admire the view.

Tricky little lane yesterday! [/img]

When I started this thread, I wasn't having a pop at the bikes , just the attitudes of some riders . I love bikes , any thing 2 wheeled . I also take exception to the strange blokes who slag off the Indian & Chinese bikes . Hey man , if a guy likes his Indian made Royal Enfields, so what , he i...

My bike when I bought it in December, I have added a carbon rear hugger, a fenda extender, cylinder head guards and a seat cowl since. Great fun to ride.[/img]

Nice R90S in a Venezuelan restaurant in May 2013, shame it is not being ridden but at least it is on show

When I started riding it was because it was the only affordable way of becoming independent for many people such as me. With it came old unreliable machinery which needed constant fettling which was both fun and a pain at the same time but most importantly you met like minded people who became frien...
