  1. When it comes to riding my bike I'm never in a hurry to get anywhere, it's my chill out time.

    . . . and it wouldn't be just your legs you'd need to worry about causing a bit of discomfort to!

    As you say 'clear as mud'! Took me a while to work out how to put a profile pic on, but I don't use photobucket. Will look on FAQ and see if I can work it out, thanks for your help anyway.
  4. This is all way over my head, I'm just glad that mine can and will achieve the national speed limit. I bought a cruiser for leisurely cruising around, enjoying the scenery and the whole experience of being on the bike. I'm more than happy to allow those who wish to, to whizz passed me, leaving me to trundle along at my unrushed pace. I know I'm in a very small minorty, but there must be some other riders out there who share my take on things . . . .

    All help very gratefully accepted, if you can keep up the good work every weekend and on the days that I book A/L I'll be delighted.

    As long as you wear the legally required helmet on your head, what you wear on the rest of your body's up to you, lol!

    Please can someone tell me how you post an image on here? Usually you have a 'browse' option, but when I click on 'image' icon I get URL???
  8. Yep seen chain mail too, maybe on American Chopper (OCC) and it does look smart, but need to get the orignal problem sorted first!
  9. This is sounding like way too much bother to me, think I'll probably just send off for one of these things I've seen on ebay, give it a whirl and see if it works. By that I do not mean I'm going to deliberately touch the exhaust when it's hot to see how it feels, lol!
  10. Wondering if those exhaust bandages with one of these chrome shields on top would work well? It could double the chances of proctection and at least the chrome bit would conceal the 'ugliness' of the bandages?

    Thanks for putting a good word in for us, been lush here today and forecast for rest of the week ain't looking too bad either, lol!
  13. Looks like it . . . . .
  14. After market pipes and it's the engine end of the top pipe that's causing the probs. Now have a nasty, but slowly healing, blister on the inside of my knee on right leg! This never happens when I'm not wearing leathers as I never ride without them, lol! But the heat if I don't realise quick enough can and has gone straight through!
