Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Yesterday I decided to take a run abroad and head into Wales... I have to say come last knockings late afternoon it is a joy to ride these roads, so much less traffic. However back into England, not only do we have a million new signs ...

Re: Stonesie's GS Mods, Farkles and Tinkering

Well, that didn't take long. Brief ride today and the SOS system has thrown a hissy fit and flagged a malfunction message asking to see a specialist workshop.

Google says that it's most likely that it had a poor signal and will sort itself out. Might give it another go tomorrow.

Re: What are you doing today ??

Sat at home with the Mrs and missed tonight's bike meet in Bromyard. The dog has got the wild shites so had the day off work to take him to the vets.

Went to Silverstone for the GP over the weekend.

I'm itching to get on my bike!

Re: The electric car revolution

Its storage of hydrogen that is the problem. To get sufficient into a fuel tank it needs to be a minimum of 5000psi and kept cold.

It will take massive steps forward in technology for it to be viable for bikes i would have thought.

Re: Twitter

Do you think? I had this chat with my son yesterday.

Which real person has the ability to view/read/interact more than 600 posts a day?? It will hamper bots mostly is my take.

Re: The new improved fitness thread

Today's plan was to ride down to my parents (12 miles) and then take the longer scenic route back home.

Didn't quite go to plan, think that's tyres destined for the bin.Image

Re: Putin and the West
