Hi all, Bit boring, I know, but - quick mini-review: it's been just over a year since I fitted one of those yellow MotoBatt sealed AGM batteries to my RD04. So far I have to say I've been very impressed. It was nearly twice the price of a bog standard battery, but not as much as a gel one (at...

I sold about 45 shirts for the National. Two people complained about the price, so I thought I’d explain how the National T-shirts work. DC did the artwork and posted it up on the forum. Everyone liked it. We agreed. I went with our previous provider who had done great quality shirts for...

I'm after a bit of advice about off-road tubes for an @. Got some off road tyres for an upcoming trail ride, and asked the wheelman to fit heavy duty tubes. The tyre supplier advised against the 4mm tubes unless they were strictly used for off-road only. He also said the medium type (2.5mm I...

Not a pushbike, that's obvious!! I am trying to wangle a trip before hay harvest sets in and have been looking at a couple of places I would like to go and see "oop North". While doing me planning, I started to wonder a bit about Youth Hostels when touring. I like camping, and I like the whole...

I no im being fussy and most will turn round and say a bike is to be ridden and not looked at but although I have a front fender extender fitted and a rear hugger I have never had a bike that throws so much **** up everywhere....:( For a bike with so much wet weather protection including the...

There's a 94 @ on ebay at the minute, 12K and described as mint. Does anyone out there know this bike and would be able to give me the lowdown - I'm in N Ireland so viewing it isnt an option. I've looked at the photos and for some reason I'm not convinced. If you know the bike I,d appreciate...
