Avon "Skin so soft" is your friend :) Ahh, but not the new revised in the last couple of years fragrance. I don't know if they removed a key ingredient (citronella?) or if the little sods have developed an immunity but it's not what it was. A true test of midge resistance is a trip to the...

Threadlock every time ... just be carefully which one you use or you'll only get it off with a grinder. :oops:

Here's my conundrum. There is so much excellent help stashed on this site from previous years that I really am unsure as to the etiquette (or the spelling of that) on how to thank y'all for when I find the solution to any particular problem/query. (Excellent search tool by the way ....) Anyway, Bob ...

On the original post, this chap may be stuffed but it's bound to be worth getting in touch with one of the bike legal specialists. Is he in MAG or the BMF? Even call one of the bigger names in from the back of Bike or Ride magazines (other publications are probably available ....) I'm no expert at a...

To cut a long story short, despite flinging myself from my mountain bike last weekend and scuffing and taking lumps out of my knees and elbows, opening up my chin having a chest that looks like I've been used for kick boxing practice ... I ended up heading for Wales last Tuesday (flight from Glasgow...

As an alternative, I bought a NAS drive, the Western Digital My Book Live (2 TB) to hang off my router last September. It even survived the recent house move. It stays tucked away nice and safe and automatically runs a backup each week for the couple of PCs we have at home. I've even tried a restore...

Just to add an observation, My experience with bikes is that you are best not restricting yourself on distance to view. My R1100 was from Edinburgh and I am near Oxford. Just saying like :) I bought my 23 year old Defender from Leeds so I'm no stranger to the concept. :) I've dropped the guy in Wal...

Fair point well made. Hence my intrigue when I saw the Boxertrix sticker on one of those two ... but it does look like I've missed a couple of beauties in the last month or two.

That's certainly an "interesting" bike. Being a pedant ... how the heck do you get that past an insurance company .... oh hang on, I think I might know ....

I must be going blind because I don't see that in the For Sale section ... but is it a R1150R or an R1100S that has been "upped" to an 1150?

Thank you all, and at least no one has said which colour is faster .. .although I suspect the air and exhaust mods to the red one will make it sound faster if nothing else! :D conkerman, I will indeed take another look. If I can get rail or air travel close to the bike, then riding it home from wher...

Seeing the light?

Hi all, I'm from Norn Iron who's been living in Scotland for nigh on 24 years ... so I'm an alien on both sides of the "shough". I originally joined many years ago when looking to change from a Trumpet but ended up on ... another Trumpet. I'm now that much older, greyer (correction - make ...
