Hi guys, I'm riding up from Nottingham - Grantham A1 services are 89 miles so guess (knowing people's average tank range) you might be filling up here?
I could meet you guys there and head up with you? (if you left Birchanger ~11am you'd be at Grantham ~12:15-12:30?)

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Beautiful ride around Peak District, popping in to Ladybower Reservoir (they have toilets!) for coffee & chocolate stop. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7071/26918261232_dc230acccf_k.jpg It was only when I got home for the ritualistic bike washing that I noticed the lefthand silencer had rotated ...

Re: Panniers
So I used the above set-up going down to Essex/London this weekend, used a racket-tie-down on the large bag. Worked perfectly. Balance was perfect allowing single-up lean angles and no noticeable wind resistance so comfortable 80 mph on the small section of M11. I'm one happy bunny! re fluffy pillow...

Brake drag normal?
Running "HH" pads, recently refitted calipers after shocks Rodgered, sliders copper greased, several rideouts had without any braking or overheating issues. BUT I'm now hearing louder brake drag than before (confirmed when pull in clutch and coast). Before I consider there being an issue, ...

Re: Panniers
I bought some simple Oxford panniers last year and have only used them once going to the bike show at NEC is TORRENTIAL rain and HIGH winds. They performed really well, the over-proofs kept all water out and they held a decent amount of stuff. Build quality is very good and there's 3 large velcro st...

Re: GoPro helmet mounting
(agree - my first mount was a chest strap, but I found it awkward with the hump on the jacket and with standard bars any leaning in just videoed my tank. I've also got a black screen which removed most of the view, and I got fed up have to take it on/off... BUT horses for courses, if it works for ot...

Re: GoPro helmet mounting
There is some wind noise at speed, but sure there would be on any exposed mounting. I like it here. What you see is captured (side scenery etc), and worst case during an accident you can capture more than that of a fixed forward view. I believe I used: Curved GoPro mount 3 x short arms 1 x arm with ...

Re: Interesting reading on fb
There aren't enough expletives. I've been casually watching the post, just fully read it. Words fails. DISGUSTING.
This wants legal action.

Re: cheap decent horns on ebay
Did you change the horn fuse rating? I paired the two horns together like you, but kept blowing the fuse? Currently only use a single (crudely mounted on sub-frame, in gap between frame and fairing). Sound is better than original but pants to using both horns (I did on my old CBR6, they're so loud o...
