Re: Mr Postman
You've reminded me.. I'll need new wipers this month. 5 years nearly of ownership and still got the same wipers. The drivers side is damaged and leaves water unaffected in a thin strip that crosses my eyeline. Very annoying.

Re: Mr Postman
Well I have used it twice now, second time correctly, basically you need to use the bottle in order. Handy having the pump up bottle. I think like most washes, it would work better when you are on top of the cleaning, rather than waiting until its mega dirty.

A USB power socket for the Ducati. Except I wired it in and it doesn’t work. Hard wired to the battery and still didn’t work. Waste of an afternoon

Re: Mr Postman
Bit late to the pass, but fwiw I have always used OEM chains on my stihl chainsaws (on the grounds that, a very long time ago a professional tree surgeon told me they worked out cheaper in the long run because they lasted better).
However last year I was taking down a tree at the front of my place when the chain on my little saw broke. A farmer (neighbour but 2x) was driving his tractor under me when it happened. He stopped, we chatted & he pointed out that he had exactly the same chainsaw. He also said that he'd just brought a pair of new chains from Amazon, for less than 1x from our local dealership. We agreed that he'd give me the unused one, and I'd place an order the same & reimburse his when it arrived.
The chain he presented me with was an ARCHER. I was a little miffed, I'd never even heard of them.
Cheap as chips, and seems (so far) to keep it's edge far better than the Stihl ones ever did.

Re: Mr Postman
I'll try them. I've been using Oregan but they dont seem to stay very sharp for long. I do sharpen them myself, but they seem a little soft.
I need a new one soon so will try that

The only modification the new bike will be getting for a while.

Re: Mr Postman
A letter from BMW, if my engine revs over 12500 rpm the oil filter could unscrew itself... Cheap Brazilian made mahle filters.
I will check if it's got one of those and if it has the replacement is free at the dealership. I wonder if they will change the oil too.

Re: Mr Postman
The cynic in me says that the money they make selling you the new oil will cover their costs for changing the filter.?
