Ok...stupid question, but I am a curious bugger.. I have used an AT sump guard on my alp and it fits just fine, however there is a small section which has been made into a flap and folded in...can you guys illuminate me as to its function on the @... it seems to be harmless/useless on the TA R.

This is a report of our three week trip this year. It was done on my 1150GS so if the moderators aren't happy about it being posted here they can feel free to delete. :thumbup...

What you can do to Ross Kemp just by folding paper Ross Kemp - Folded

what does this actaully do? - and is it meant to be shaped like an upside down pyramid - or folded up??

So last night as the voddy flowed and the wonders of Eurovision unfolded I had a cunning plan and decided to look at riding to next years event, spending the week soaking up the atmosphere then riding home. Ok it may have started at this point when the UK where looking good for a change but...

Now before you say dont be so fkn daft....hear me out.. I got a CR500 in the back of a Saab 9000 hatch a few years with the back seats folded and both wheels and tank off. I not saying there was plenty of room and was easy.....it wasnt but I did it, and wondered since the Pug's an est I could...

G'Day All. Big Greg (SYD AUS) has invited me to an AUS XRV gathering @ Byrock NSW next month (trust me nowhere near Sydney) but AL the XRV is still dead with only the front cyl sparking & no fuel pump or tacho when running on that one cyl. I need a replacement ECU to get it running before I...

Seeing how I own a web site in Australia and an XR, my two closest mates own big XR's, one of my moderators (and mate) owns another XR I get to do a lot of riding in a hell of a lot different areas (not just near home **** ;)) I have been lucky with the amount of riding I have done and the...

A bit of a fright. I finally got ViewRanger installed onto the phone today, plus 640mb of ordnance survey maps of Ireland, the complete set, so to test it out I decided to take a bit of a spin towards the Burren in Co.Clare and use it to find some archeological sites. I found one or two...

Pickt up my bike yesterday after the 12.000km service. Did mention upfront that the right plastic trimcover on the tank was lose. Also about a month ago the bike suddenly "smelled" like gas ,even houres after a drive. Went to the dealer ,they removed the tank and saw that the fuel pipe was...

...just because I like to finish off my frequent (bike) cleaning sessions using the scrunched up corners of a trigonometrically-folded kitchen towel to dry off all the allen bolts + fixings?? My other, better half thinks it might be... Here, there's an unwashed cup on the table over there...

As those of you who were at Jelly's will know I had some electrical problems with my bike over the weekend. I hate electricity, if you have a fuel/oil/coolant leak you can see it, if something is broken you can see, it but electricity moves around your bike under the cover of a multi-coloured...

My right elbow has been giving me grief for about 3 months now (go on, get the snurking out of the way early), it's been hurting when I pick things up with an extended arm (nearly burst into tears picking a crash helmet up off the floor a few weeks ago) and the hour long commute every day means...
