  1. hi guys, I take a short break of 2-3 years... maybe? one day I find hard to log in with my account with so many checks on login, need to change password several time so I just give up. just come back to see if you guys are still around and fine :)

    for who don`t remember me or don`t know me, my name is alex, age 43, I live in leeds, i`m from romania, I still ride my 2008 xv1900 stratoliner and the blue fury, 1992 fj1200.

    did you get your full licence elvis? :))

  2. I own for few years some summer undersuits crivit and another brand, I buy them from LIDL and other one from aldi,  I fugure ouit they can`t be very good one of the being they are cheap( £12 tousers and £12 the top part) I wear them in romania where was very hot and they do a very good job but at 40-41 C degree still have problem even with those.

    so, this year i`m going back in romania and I decide to give a go to this, not a cheap thing, coming from alpinestar, £124.

    I had the chance to test them when was 31C degree here in leeds, both of them, crivit and alpinestar in the same temperature so I can corectlly judge the products.

    all I can say is: WOW, what a f waste of money!!! there is no difference at how both suits act... same riding experience, same  feeling on the skin. nothing. the only difference is the price, £124 vs £24

    so, guys, if you are not a really big fan of alpinestar don`t waste your money on them. cheap things from LIDL and ALDI are doing exactlly the same thing, no diference at all.

  3. all my upgrades for 930 are from westendmotorsport , is an online shop in US. but you may try get them from UK or ebay.co.uk directlly, they are memphis shades and I buy them because the windshield is also memphis shades. at the point I buy them, I can`t find a seller in UK but you may have better luck. but those lowers are fit with memphis shades windshield so, if you have another windshield, you may need another one. anyway, on westendmotorsport site you can find almost anything you want. send them an email before to make you a quote about how much you will have to pay for shipping. for some items, you may have to pay import taxes, vat. but I think if is under 150$, there is no duty to pay.

     

  4. depending of your budget... my xv1900 is very comfortable for both, rider and pillion with standard seats. the main problem after I jump from 950 to 1900 is the mileage/tyres... 5000. is easier to control it than the FJ1200 even she have over 60 kg over FJ. xvs950 standard seats are crap, if you buy a standard one, you have to change both seats. I like the look of new honda GLX goldwing but this is a lot more expensive than xv1900. I buy my xv1900 with 6000 and the bike had under  20k miles. lot of bike for the money.

  5. in leeds-bradford area, we have a page on facebook where people post bikes and quads for sale, some are cheap, some working, some not. you should check if you have something like this in your area... and for who want the page for leeds area, this is the link . I seen some DT`s and TDR`s for sale there
