  2. Yes Honda found out ally and steel do not mix whgen they made the first Comstar wheels back in the seventies , the ally rims and steel spokes caused electrolytic corrosion , especailly when mixed with britsh winters and salt on the roads
  3. HEL are cheaper if you live in Devon and ride into their factory and get em made up there
  4. Go for a decent secondhand set of fork legs , I reckon
  5. Definetly give a more positive feel to the brakes , go for ones owht stainless ends if you do HEL are good thay fit stainless fittings a standard, when i got a set for the RD Goodridge charged exta for stainless ends HEL where standard ands worked out cheaper

  12. A servant enrolled his donkey in a race & won.The local paper read: 'SERVANT's ASS WON The king was upset with this kind of publicity. He ordered the servant not to enter the donkey in another race. Next day d local paper headline read: 'KING SCRATCHES SERVANT's ASS' This was too much 4 the king, he ordered the servant 2 get rid of the donkey. He gave the donkey to the queen. The local paper heading the news: "QUEEN HAS THE BEST ASS IN TOWN The king fainted. Queen sold the donkey to a farmer for 10$. Next day papr read: "QUEEN SELLS ASS FOR $10 This ws too much. KING ordered th queen 2 buy back d donkey & send to jungle. Th next day Headlines: "QUEEN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD & FREE The king was buried next day! Power of media!
  13. Ineteresting to know the brethalyser still stands , i did hear they where abandoning it , yes defoo all cary your own documents , my mate went out with a school coiach trip , they took 2 or 3 coaches only one insurance cetificate for the three , and they got fined by the ministry of transport at roscoff for not having one each ,and it wass not pennies , it was in the hundreds oif pounds, and that was 10 years ago or more now
  14. Ok here is a rough guide from Roscoff to Morlaix is a dual cariageway until you tunr off the N12 for Pleybe Christ then the run to Lorient will be nice twiistes, from there I would advise sorting what you want as the route i have is mostly motorway to Nantes then after nantes it is motorway dual carriageway to La Roche sur yon , but then ordinbary roads down to La Rochelle aprt from a couple of miles near la rochelle , http://tinyurl.com/mftcg5d
  15. Actuallly thinking about this I based on my trucking travels and there is a lot of motorway, having a rethink now will try and work a google map for you
  16. now go and buy an XS650 without all the electric crap , preferably with a Halco 860 conversion :hah: :biglaugha: :biglaugha:
  17. Oh yes i met quite a few english tourists with the stiff upper lip we are better than you frogs type over there , Usually the french detected this and where akward and standoffish back
  18. one good t5hing about the French rescue system is the cost of being picked up off the motorway is fixed by the governmant and is published in rest areas etc so you can see that you are not being ripped off , by the recovery company , and TBH in 22 years trucking over there I found most of the fench people to be honest and freindly , and experience of a few truck garages puts a lot of UK garages to shame . prices where fair when paid with credit card , and once we wnet in to the Scania agent at Dinan with the clutch slave cylinder gone on the truck , the offending item was inside the bellhousing so the gearbox had to be dropped, we sat and waited while it was done , at noon they came and said come with us we wnt to their canteen type room, they gave us a drink , picked up their bags and said see you in 2 hours , left the workshop, stores , etc al unlocked and in the care of 2 foreign strangers, that would never happen in the UK they would turn you out on the street in the rain here
  19. I think the breathlyser thing has been abandoned , Hi viz deffo in case you break down, remember the macdump rule , even if you hate macdonalds they have clean toilets , and of you feel guilty just have a coffee, If you head from Roscoff , out towards Brest to Landavisiau, cut across county to join the dual carrigeway near La faou,passing Quimper and head for Nantes there are sevral interesting towns along there, the route to Rennes and then down to Nantes is a but quicker but more boring , if you want to visit la rochelle run the A83 down as far as D 137 turn and go down across the Charente, but that is as far as i eve went in my travels, Les sables d,ollone is nice as well
  20. Aye John i have to agree with you there mate west coast all the way, best roads I ever drove in the truck, so many good memories of the lochs and glens , Skye, Glencoe , Oban, Kinlochbervie, Ullapool, Mallaig,
  21. Must be about 32C out there... It's not the temperature, next door's 18 year old daughter has begun topless sunbathing in her garden.
  22. I don't think it's fair that Babestation are only allowed to show boobs late at night, but BBC Parliament are allowed to show cunts all day.
  23. As my wife and three of her friends squeezed into the car after WeightWatchers, I muttered under my breath, "Fat cows." "What was that?" snapped my wife. "You herd." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Roman walks into a bar, sticks two fingers up to the barman and says, "Five beers please."
