Hi Andrew, Thanks for showing us the route down - loved the Pengenfford road - great sweepies although a long section with double white lines but fortunately no traffic so ye hah :P Didn't see any camera vans once we split up :shock: and might have got away with it if they were all over your way. Pa...

Have to agree with Al

Andy,

I am sure you can pick up some nice yellow & black leathers off ebay plus a bit of yellow wheel tape and win next year - go on, you know you want to!

Dave

PS Great photos all round mate

Hi Andy,

That is great news - keep the faith!

I even enjoyed the ride home on the 12 in the rain as it was really good for riding smoothly whilst still "making progress" (only a couple of slides ). Tempted to do some more of this touring lark.

Dave

1) ... ...
2) ...very simple ; don't ride in the rain, keep it is much as you can in the garage, and clean it after every ride... (genuine answer )

1)......
2.1) ok
2.2) yup
2.3) you must clean it with majic cleaning products then.......or be a wizz at Photoshop

Dave

Sorry Roloo but you don't fool us! I think you found a dusty corner on the bike you couldn't get to and couldn't resist taking the bike apart ! Like Stevie the bulb swap was a bit fiddly but not a problem.

Dave

PS just how DO you keep your bike so clean? - genuine question!

Hi Scuzzlebut :shock: I fitted my Remus headers at the weekend andit was a bit of a strucking fuggle! Found that had to keep all parts loose before tightening anything but made special use of the rubber mallet and lube (oh err :shock: ) to get the y piece fully located on the downpipes before anythi...

Thanks Boxerdog! Did the battery thing and it worked :D but still got Lampf message :? let alarm reset and then unset a couple of times and turned ignition on/off a couple of times and then message went away and works ok now. Confused but visable! Dave (but have made up jury rig cable just in case.....

Thanks for the replies guys. Will try them all in the morning!

Dave

Help (only two days to Wales trip :shock: ) Had dipped beam bulb fail (Lampf! message) on my 1200S. Replaced bulb but it just flashes when ignition turned on and then goes out. Have swapped full beam bulb and does the same thing. Full beam all ok. Any suggestions gratefully received. Also my backup ...

Hi,

Have seen all the horror postings over shearing the bolts getting the current ones off but assuming I get that far does anyone have some info please on how hard to tighten them up again?

Cheers

Dave

James, I am shocked and saddened by your tragic loss and my thoughts are with you and your family. I met Eon last year in Wales and as by chance all the three "Colgate" (red/silver) bikes were all staying in the same B&B and so we enjoyed a beer or two over the weekend and got to know ...

Hi Again, I am up in North Wiltshire near J17 M4 so tend to either go north into the Cotswolds, East along the A4 or south down the A350 and all points in between. PaulR will no doubt be along soon who also has a Colgate 1200 and we have met up in Salisbury a couple of times and headed off to WestBa...

Hi Subby - great bike you have got there Is it the faster red & silver one or another colour?

Dave
