Ha Ha .I really dont know Bullet,but it doesnt alf cost a lot.I always thought that cars were more expensive than bikes,my late model Mercedes SLK costs a lot less than my ex R1200RT to service,"A LOT LESS" and thats at the main Merc dealer !!! and they wonder why some of the roads are gri...

Hi Jewell.sorry about the long delay,ive been um ,otherwise engaged,so to speak.Anyway ive got hacked off with paying through the nose for motorcycle parts and service,the crap weather and being generally sh## on by all and sundry that i sold my bike on ebay, as said main dealer was trying to rip me...

Yea ,the evil b'stards are around the next corner just waiting for an unsuspecting motorcycle to come along and spray.One nearly had me off last year around the outskirts of Okehampton now matter how many times i flashed at him the evil sod ignored me and continued to spray the stuff all over me.The...

I very rarely like copies and generally feel these old records should be left well alone and in the past,but there's always an exception.Very cool.

Mmmmmm im all for free cakes.Count me in.

Id hate to do a thousand miles on that thing ! Come on ,we all live in the real world,really what does it matter if it'll do 200 or 130 mph,you still cant do it in this country without loosing your licence,and quite rightly too ,anyone that does that sort of speed on the public roads deserves to get...

Thanks for that Oilman.Opie oils are top drawer and i very often purchase from them.I'll be checking my "stock"for the coming year for my car and bikes the 20% is great on already excellent pricing.

Hello,good day and welcome,from Graham in Crownhill.[ The drag track near the police station ]

Thank you too all that have commented so far.I have considered all your opinions and agree that i perhaps have been a little um' nieve.It's been a few years since i've taken anything into a garage,[ car or bike ] for "work" ,as ive always done it myself save a couple of times for new bikes...

I'm not a happy bunny, X( bear with me while i explain and i would appreciate any feedback if you think i'm being ,um,tight,harsh,or just a grumpy old bugger.Earlier this year,probably 4 months ago i purchased from the main dealer a BMW R1200RT.Happy with that,excellent bike all good.Now,it's come t...

Whats wrong with chucking your stuff on the bed !

It sounds like i must be too trusting,when a manufacturer states waterproof then i would expect no less than waterproof,am i really being that unreasonable.Its like buying a washing machine that is said to spin at 1200 rpm,and to find that it only spins at 800 rpm in my book it really shouldnt be ad...

Whilst i realise this subject is highly emotive and perhaps everybody has their own views,i would like to perhaps throw this out for discussion as we are fast approaching the time of year when motorcycling can become uncomfortable and can i say even less safe as clothing becomes heavy,wet,cold,steam...

I find myself with a few spare hours so thought i'd share some time on my favourite subject.BIKES. I hope to be at the 60th party on thursday and make myself known to the Anthony family as i was good freinds with "Tony" the founder during the middle 60s right up to his sad passing.I used t...
