Whats the best way to clean the inside of textile gloves? Dont exactly think they'll like the washing machine. Theyre spada enforcers and ive checked their website. Theyre about 8 months old and have started to smell abit inside.

just wondering if its advised or not to clean a motorbike with a power washer? I ask because I know its not advisable to power wash a mountain bike because it strips all the lubricants off the bike etc.. (something ive learn the hard way) is it the same with motorbikes?? will a soft sponge and soapy water suffice?

last night i took the lining out of my rossi rep agv and gave it a good wash as it was getting a bit ! anyway, my old arai schwantz rep could really do with the same, but the lining doesnt come out. any suggestions as to how i could freshen it up?! i was going to name this thread cleaning my helmet but you're all a bunch of dirty b'stards and would lower the tone!

So winters starting to truly set in now. Weathers getting wetter and ice in the mornings. I ride every day without fail. Always try and keep the bike clean. Noticed my front forks and disk brakes are starting to show slight bits of rust. The bikes brand new. Got it from local dealer in Sept/Oct. Is there anything I should be applying/spraying on? Something to prevent this or clean it? She's kept in the garage overnight and at work I always throw over a rain cover. Anyone able to help? Hope everyone has a good new years!

Hey everyone. Im having issues with my V50 atm where my exhaust is full of oil. The previous owners use to run car engine oil through the pre mix system instead of normal 2 stroke oil (it says motor oil on the cap and they got confused) so im wondering what methods are best to clear it out so the bike can breath. Cheers

Hi Lads & Ladesses.... I've noticed when turning on the ignition of my Fazer a series of clicking noises that lasts for a few seconds. It sounds like it's coming from around the switchgear somewhere. The bike always starts and is running well. Any ideas ? Or am I just hearing noises ??? Cheers in advance

Well if you aint sick of it yet, Day1, its bollocks,, Heres an example, they had to lock off the wind tubines last year,[ too windy] AND they still get paid downtime [ £280million],, So rather than give us cheaper electicity [ so we wont use oil&coal heating ] do they fk, it all about profit,, And they were givvin massive grants to install the bloody thing too, Next news we here is, there about to plant MORE fkn wind turbine in the north sea, which will power enuff for 2/3 of the scottish homes, .. fkn ell were locking em off ,and still planting the fkn things,, [ subsidised no doubt, Scam.----..And weve 2 or 3 massive Hydro plants ,that get…

Hi fellow Yamaha riders. Thank you for reading this post as i know it has nothing to do with motorbikes. I am raising money for the Amani Children's Home in Tanzania by battling altitude sickness climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro (the Worlds 4th Highest mountain) on the 1st of September. The Amani Children's Home rescues children from the perils of life on the streets in Tanzania, who face a high risk of HIV transmission and malnutrition. Whilst in Tanzania I will also be visiting the children's home and meeting the children and careers there. Amani really is a fantastic charity. Unlike a large, international charity that has fundraisers sitting in offices writing ad…

The late Pope John Paul II was standing at 'the gates' discussing things with St Peter. Behind St Peter was a huge wall with an enormous number of clocks on it, and the Pope was inquisitive about these clocks. Said Peter, "These are lie clocks. Everyone alive and dead has a lie clock, and each time they tell a lie one second is added to the clock. So when they come up here we know whether the person is also telling us fibs to get in". The Pope thought this was a great idea, so he asked to see his clock. Sure enough, the hands were stuck on midnight never having moved. The Pope had never told a lie in his life. A couple of clocks to the left were a clock with the…
