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)

Da da da ra ra-tsch tsch Isn't that the theme tune to Crossroads? There is a word for not bothering - Attrition. This is a "proper" calculation based on historical data of how many people normally don't bother. It comes in many guises including cashback schemes where you apply for a discount, by voucher normally, over a certain period. They know people don't do it or lose track. Good advice but I can't be arsed to go to Asda (ASsociated DAiries). I have a Tesco Extra in the next street.

Hi and welcome, If it was my choice, given the bikes age, I would look for a 4 stroke to commute and look for a 2 stroke for fun once you have saved the gas costs.

Mine is already starting to get sweltering at times. It has been a good biking week so far. I just wish my ability was up to the same standard as my tyres. Almost came a cropper during the week throwing the bike into a roundabout. Tyres held fine, I just didn't need to lean as much and dropped in too quickly. Lucky the bike is tolerant to my riding style. I did get the "cold sweats" though

Olet tervetullut.

We could put them all on benefits.

Hei ja tervetuloa.

Hi and welcome to the forum. We do have a resident flirt. I am sure he will be along later to expose introduce himself.

In the summertime when the weather is high.....................................

The number 7. Synonymous with him. What a lifestyle! Envied by me, a young biker back in the '70's.

+1. I concur

Hi Thorwang and welcome. I like the meatballs joke. I had köttbullar in Ikea. I also like pickled herrings. That is a very nice looking bike! Welcome

Can you post a few pictures of the bike? This would help!!

Russian girls? They are always rushing! Sometimes I don't think I get the full Hour I have paid for.................

Hi and welcome to the forum .

Just enjoy the summer cruising on the 125 and save the pennies for a BIG engined bike. Remember, the slower you go the more the people who will see you.

Where is that thread? How do I apply? The RD500's are Ok but I didn't think anything special. They are a very deep pocket job. My mates used to clog up all the time, and that was when it was new !!
