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

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.

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.

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.

Re: Putin and the West
... Putin, my immediate thoughts were not in any way positive.. Uncle Vlad may be a psychotic despot, but I don't see any safe pair of hands ready to take his place. If ever there was a more fundamental case of " better the devil you know ", it doesn't come to my mind.
