I am looking forward to this thread. Roses (and the like) tins are invaluable.

A light dusting in my part of the Midlands this morning.

Camping for me although it does double the size of the stuff you need to carry. Have a look at the Youth Hostel Association. (YHA). You may be able to get a half way between B&B and camping. I have used this all over Europe, camped when possible and B&B when wet of too smelly. The YHA and B&B do enable you to get that first hot drink in the morning, which I miss when camping. Torch, penknife and bottle opener are all stables.

Yep. You need to subscribe for certain areas of the forum. Check out the "subscriptions" tab at the top of the page.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I put bike oil in my deep fat frier.......................................................................I would not recommend it. The chips were horrid.

A lot of banks give 10 miles recovery with their paid accounts.

The pics should be interesting. At least you are "friendly" with the DT's innards. Looking like snow and ice next week anyway.

Excellent Bippo. You need: Credit card Mobile Satnav Recovery membership Waterproofs Toothbrush Providing you service the bike beforehand (and it is not Chinese) the bike should easily do this. Plan your route carefully - decide if you want to just eat miles or do you want to take photos for the YOC calender on the way? Think about charging your satnav and phone as you go. Easily done on a 12 volt bike. Plan stops - toilet, overnights, fuel and beverages. Make sure your satnav has these on it. Put away a little extra cash before you go. This lets you travel light and pop into the nearest Tesco extra/bike shop and buy anything you need. You can then post it home if you want to keep it or just chuck it. Don't be scared to deviate from the plan. Plan how your luggage is going to fit and tie down. Test it for weight, comfort and so it doesn't move or rub. Enjoy it.

Welcome. This area is for issues with the forum as per the pinned thread My suggestions would be to; say hello in the newbies section and then; start a thread in the workshop section.

Just to summarise the new stuff for UK riders and learners. LINKY

Scotland or France for me.

LINKY Pretty restricted really. Whatever was wrong with just riding around the block once to get your bike license?

Selam bey.

I hope there isn't any damage. While we are at it, just a reminder to all that if you have said you use a particular security device to your insurers and you didn't have it on, dont expect to get any money from them. The SV is kept on my drive and I always put the U bolt on it when I park. This is what is recorded with the insurers. When the bike has cooled I use a cover and then bolt it to a ground anchor. The extra chain and ground anchor are not recorded in the insurance so I won't get penalised if anything happens when there are not on.

Rust doesn't cost much

Smoooooking. Be careful with it as it will take all the deposits off the cylinder. Some would say dont use it, I would too but I love the smell and white smoke.

They are quite rare BH. I'v got one in the shed.

Very, very nice. Obviously a man with taste.

Very nice Ryan. I used to do a little CAD work. I did do some bike stuff for play. All I can find at the moment is an unfinished SLR650 that I used to own. I did plan to do some popular bikes and sell them in large format but haven't got around to that yet.

Very nice crispyT. Do you still have it?

An almost advert type description. Hmmmm!

Remember to take any studs, reed block and anything else off. Send a piece of paper in the box saying what you need doing and anything you expect to be included such as top end bearing and circlips.

Not that big, a little smaller.
