The nipple ends of these blighters often snap off. There might be a source of replacement spigot / nipple mouldings ... missus. Anyone able to supply similarly precise dimensions of a detached 'Long One' (Steady now, Alias) ? Thank You !

Hi ! Just had a look through the Haynes catalogue but couldn't find anything about maximum weight for rider+pillion. Can anyone help Me + the missus are 158kg. Thanks !

Me and my missus are planning to venture to Hunstanton on Bank Holiday Monday if the weather is half decent. Apparantly it gets packed on a Bank Hol.

Me, The Missus, and the AT on our trip to Norway,s North Cape.

It looks like my dream of his'n'hers Alps for me & the missus is out the window:( Soo had a try on the Alp & there's no way she can get away with the seat height (even with the seat lowering kit it wouldn't be enough). Someone said check out the new BM F650 which has a seat AND suspension...

A big thanks to everyone for turning up today despite the weather.:D I can't download pics but hopefully there will be some posted soon There were 10 of us in total, Airwolf on his trusty TA, Pigugly & Miss Pig on their TA, newbie Nomad on his shiny 'borrowed' Benelli, Hudders on his AT...

This may be worth reading about a good friend Dazco ,who had a big off last weekend. His flip front helmet was of a locking type and Dazco was sure it was locked. The damage to the hemet indicates a heavy front impact on the chin and forhead ,and It may suggest that the load was greater than the...

I've got a '97 Transalp in black/grey. One panel missing which I've replaced with a litle purple number. I want to give it a wuick cheap face lift and was thinking about going the matt black route. Will a quick rub down after removing the stickers and a couple of coats of halfords matt black or...

Firstly, I'd just like to introduce myself. I'm a thirty something bloke from near Basingstoke. I have a wife and 2 kids, so don't get to do enough tours on the bike! I can't wait until they grow up <wishing my life away!> but as the second one is only a year old, it may be a while yet. I have...

Hello I'm taking the old girl down to southern morocco next month, with the missus on the back for our honeymoon. I know she's a reliable beast (the bike), but I was wondering if anyone had any tips for what to take with me on the spares side of things. I'll be taking a puncture repair kit and...

Please dont move this thread to the for sale or auction as I am only thinking about selling. can anyone give me a ballpark figure of the value of my @. its a 96 07 with 18k on the clock. comes with oxford heated grips(ones with the button control not the old twist jobbie), engine bars(not...

Hello peeps. Me and the Missus are going on a mini tour (1000 miles) in the US in July on a big fat Harley Electa Glide. I've never toured at all so don't really know what to take to wear or what to expect. We're going to do a big circle from LA to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas with a few stops...

Just bumped into Ian Coates, the man who's riding his africa twin round the world ( basically). http://speakup.ig.com.br/stories_a/221_main_mcicle.shtml I was picking the missus up from work on my RD04 and he saw us parked in town, came over in his van and said hi, pleased to find another @...

Hello everyone. I'm thinking about asking a neighbour if he'd like to sell his Transalp as it's sitting there rotting away (has been there for a year+) and I'd like something to get the missus on the back of and to tinker with. I really don't know how much to pay though. Parker's guide says in...

OK, let's give this new Forum software a go. Nothing about bikes though I'm afraid :( I'm thinking of taking the missus and kids to Amsterdam during the Easter Hols and was aftre some advice on the best way to get information on where to stay. I know about the obvious UK sites like Expedia...

Non-sexist, non-defamatory, just curious question. Jenna has got a real tasty avatar, but there again so does Mabels old man :D By no stretch of the imagination would Mabel's old man look like that no matter how much he paid his local drama society :lol: I'm just wondering...is that Jenna...

anyone got any advice for me. I am moving from cornwall to norwich on the 3rd march and need to hire a van. I have found a company here that does one way rentals but only do a LWB van for this and that means my @ wont fit in it. So i need a luton with a tail lift. So far the best resolution I...
