On the subject of new helmets i popped into a shop earlier to have a look at leathers but they had next to no stock. So i tried a few helmets on and the AGV Corsa is very nice indeed. Proper race helmet and fitted nicely. Not what i am looking for at the moment though. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcSvUlzBXLByWaq-_5BW1vxCohG59PvAtgy2-Ja9Obb4mcFmrWUac4IIYGx8FBBxd6oPCGsvwCDZ&usqp=CAY

Thankyou just ordered the part from this company. £45 plus postage if any one else needs/wants one. However there is a 4-5 week wait in the UK at the moment!

Next on the shopping list in the coming months is crash protection

... The car has just gone in for repair, so I've got to cough up for the excess on that. Plus I've got the MOT and tax on the bike with the insurance next month ;( Cost wise I'm going to have to go part worns and get a new set later in the year. I've found some good sets of Michelin Power One Cup's ...

Found the instructions for the exhaust so I'll be needing my mate to help out for that. Also the quickshifter looks simple enough too. Next Sunday will be a busy day.

... a cracking write up Godzilla, I was as surprised as you appeared to be about the Mutley, that bike being lined up in my sights as possibly my next bike purchase, I've tried the Tiger 800, Explorer 1200 and the KTM SM990 and tbh I couldn't live with any of them for differing reasons, so I've ...

Easy does it. I'm on a reasonably tight budget and know next to nothing about keeping my wheels secure.

Can y'all help me out with some suggestions of which security systems work best and don't cost a bomb?

... of rides there mate... I missed the Ducati open day today as going to donny tomorrow, but going to try and get a multi test ride on Saturday next weekend. One thing I'm curious about.. You mention that the GS had a lack of front end dive under breaking, are you relating that to experience ...

Kwacky is on holiday till next week mate but your more than welcome to tag along mate.

I kinda like it and might give one a test in the next couple of months.

Nandos is vastly overrated and overpriced chicken in a basket. You would be much better off getting some decent piri piri sauce and coating it on a chicken. Leave it overnight then roast it the next day.

Don't look as though it's gonna come today, don't need bike tomorrow as going into town with the wife in her car but the point is I paid £6 for next day delivery and it's not here.

Just spoke to a guy called Will at a company called Wrap Kings based in Cradley, gonna take my hugger to them next week see if they can carbon wrap it.

I didn't feel they were very consistent.

They've been great on the track, but I'm looking forward to getting rid of them on the road. I'm going with blade's recommendation next time.

... old rented flat didn't really have room for a bike and car on the driveway, her housemate owned a car so she had to squeeze her bike on the path next to the car. One day on the way to go to work she squeezed past the car, got on the bike and put the sidestand up, then promptly fell towards the ...
