Happy Paddy's day Pat. LINK If that clothing was compulsory I would give up biking. I would also keep away from schools.

Dont forget coefficient friction.

What about THESE

Hi and welcome.

So just wear my rose coloured silk thong and let the wind do the rest?

Or just cut that pair out and risk the paper cuts

The slam is good. Pity he didn't follow up with the smash! I loved the bullys Michael Jackson walk at the end

About 30 miles north of you in Loughborough, Leics.

My SV (650 V twin) carb model does 61 to the gallon in "not hanging about" mode. How do I know? I use miles travelled divided by fuel to refill the tank. I know how it is ridden and the types of roads It is ridden on. My car does 38MPG for the same journeys. I know because the computer tells me. I guess I could get a better MPG out of the SV but it would not be as much fun.

:lol: Not worried about tightarse, just sweaty arse. I will pop into Aldi tomorrow and have a look This is exactly what I am trying to avoid. I am looking for protection with breathing ability. I hate Betty's.

Yep. Not what you want at any time but the summer heat chaps your chaps, chaps. I have normal jeans like that. Always feel as though you want to pull the waistband up but they are tight against you "difference" already. I have seen Hood jeans but they appear to just cut the legs to the length you want so the knees are still too low. I change at work but prefer fabric over leather. The Weise fabric stuff I have has been 100% waterproof, mind you so have the RST jeans. I have a really comfortable pair of Akito boots which leak but are comfy! I have spada gloves and have had their boots, rate both of them to be honest. Cheers guys but the money is still on the Weise Titans but still looking

Hi all, My fabric trousers are about to fall apart. Not good for a pair that is less than a year old. But not to name the brand that has not survived the year (RST Rift - the seams have gone in several places - not recommended) I don't want leather but I do need a short leg so I have been looking at Weise Titans as I like the Weise quality of the stuff I have got. Before I buy a pair, are there any others with a short leg I could be looking? Alternatively, does anyone have any experience of Kevlar jeans? Ta

Looks in better nick than my new project. Did someone leave their charm bracelet on the back wheel in the last picture?

Ah. OK it is a little cold still! If you are near Epping in Essex get yourself to High Beach. It is where the local(ish) bikes congregate.

Hi Chris. Welcome from another person in the Midlands.

Hi and welcome.

Every day without ice or snow is a beautiful day to ride. Just throw a thicker jumper on

Well done Blanco.

It is about the planning, not the cc. I have seen some Polish guys (ones that still live in Poland BTW) on 125 CZ's at racetracks in France. As previously advised, stay off the motorway. This will be difficult given that it screams motorways. I would plan for an average of 40mph and stop after 2 hours. Look at the A10 and A1 to get you into the midlands (depending on where in Kent you are).

Very nice present. Shiny !!! Shame about the season ticket though............................. Come on you Irons.

Or a big chain

I was on the A6 too. The middle of the A6 for about 100 yards. Picked the wrong transport, they said it was going to be icy so decided to take the car but wasn't that bad.

More like Katie Price's. It could double as an aircraft hanger!

Views on alarms vary. Most newer bikes have an immobiliser as standard. Alarm wise there are 3 options; 1) don't fit one 2) fit one yourself/get a mate to do it 3) get a specialist to fit one I would have one on a new bike, price dependant. I wouldn't retro fit one. I would not be put off buying a bike if it had no alarm. My SV has a Datatool and it has never caused me any problems. I would look at Datatool for a specialist (get a certificate for slightly cheaper insurance) - £400. I would look at www.cyclonealarms.co.uk for retro fit alarms as they seem to be good value and a good reputation - £35. I would buy a big chain anyway but make sure you use it. Alarm cost - £0 I do not know any decent data to say how effective an alarm is, or isn't. Bikes do still get nicked if alarmed but who knows if an alarm puts off a big percentage of would be bike thieves?

One brussel sprout or two? A great "Kiddeminster" joke and Wombles & Hobnobs. Classic Welcome............(said in that high pitch, slimey Rick Mayall way)
