Hi all, while waiting for my new Africa Twin to turn up (spoke to Honda Ecosse today, confirmed I'll get the first one in)I decided to have a look around at what's out there that interests me as I feel the need! I've still got my Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer which I love to bits and am heading to...

Hey everyone. I got myself a 1996 Domi for the Winter a couple of weeks ago and am really enjoying it. It's my first big single, my other bike is a Yamaha FZS600 and I've only owned multi cylinder bikes until now. There's something great about the roar it makes when you give it some welly...

Last year I decided to do a little photo diary following my Sahara trip, the reasons were to try and inspire others and show them how easy it is to travel on a budget and with only a fortnight to spare, and secondly to sell enough books to pay for my next trip. It sort of worked and now I have...

Some time ago I wrote Facet, asking about why my pump was making such noise. The reply was quite interesting, so I thought I would share it, as I know many people here use the their pumps ... Here's my mail: I bought this pump 2 years ago, through Rugged Roads, and it's a 40105, as far as I...

One thing that really gets my pi$$ boiling is blatantly misleading advertising. Take Halfords for instance. They briefly doubled all the prices on their Pioneer car stereos back in June. Surprise surprise, shortly after this they started running a 50% off Pioneer car steros offer which seems...

Now then boy,s n girls, At the National my fuel pump on my RD04 packed up so I replaced it with a Facet from Rugged roads, yeah the pump worked but it was knocking intermittently as if it was trying to prime or was running dry. I dont buy into the yeah they do...

Hi everyone, I've just got an 97 XR400 I'm a total newbie so please go easy on me for the inevitable daft questions. 1st thing I need is a new back tyre before it's MOT in December, I've had a look round but all the info on tyres and sizes seems quite old and tyre technology has moved on, so...

Hi, Sorry to bring the subject up again, but after looking at the forums on the subject my brain is numb!! I have always run OEM trailwings because I (wrongly!) assumed that factory fitted/recommended tyres are the ones to go for untill reading this forum....it would look like I am lucky...

Hi, my RD07 Africa Twin currently had Avon Distanzias fitted but I just can't get on with them. I have tried pressures varying from 29/29 to 32/38 but they still don't inspire confidence after several twitches during cornering. I use my bike almost exclusively for A road and motorway riding...

Thanks to all who have contributed to my posts,I have had my 06 ta 2 months now and have managed k&n filter,new plugs,new clutch lever,(bike fell over).Centre stand went on today,what a buggerrr as we say down thes parts.The pivot does not seem long enough to get the washer and the split pin...

Hiya all Just fitted some Comtinental TKC 80 on the Africa Twin First impressions are very good- bit wobbly when slow but otherwise no real difference on the road to the scorpion trail street Tyres they have replaced. Off road (tracks mainly dry) they are great and inspire confidence. Anyone...
