Hello everyone, I'm off to Bruges soon and a friend has asked if she can come with me. Of course she can. I've not had Troy (XL650) that long and haven't done any travelling 2 up with him. My current luggage inventory consists of a 45L Givi topbox, a large Enduristan Tornado (Enduristan -...

...can one make on a Sunday afternoon? Quite a few it would appear. I have been, to say the least, neglectful of my bikes this year. Today saw what was, effectively, my first ride out, for the sake of it, in 2011. A friend recently got a licence, so when the sun came out, I had a choice -...

Whats the simplest coms set for rider pillion. dont want music, sat nav, or nassa control just to be able to hear her in doors instead of having to stop every ten mins to here her dribble, if im going to hear it I may as well progress whilst doing so. Im no tekki so all the fancy stuff would end...

Has anyone heard the new round of adverts doing the rounds on the radio the basic premise being that they descrbe the rider as a particular model then describe a few of their humanly traits followed by a polite request not to run them over. am i alone in thinking this but who is going to...

Hi all, I have just got my new bespoke made AT seat back and it is better than i thought is was going to be! I had a silver and black seat made to replace a Honda non slip seat that was on the bike. The seat is a completely new made seat with thick GRP base which was made to fit the 07 AT...

Transalp 600 Softer Seat. The TA 600 seat is reasonably soft, possibly too soft as heavier riders compress the foam completely onto the seat base, so the soft seat is now hard, leading to the 'numb bum' effect on longer rides. Having a seat with a rip in the cover that I wanted to repair I...

Just wondering if any body know if its possible to get a back rest for the Africa Twin. I got a top box but want to go on a longish trip and would rather remove it and fit a more comfy back rest for the pillion.

Not sure where to put this thread so mods, feel free to move. Otherwise, I guess it will have to stay firmly on the dark side... Those who have followed my earlier thread, will already know that I have been smitten with the F650GS that folk here have long been recommending (and I thought this...

Since I've sold my Africa Twin these highly desireable items :D are now for sale... Want a more comfortable seat for your RD07/RD07a? - this one was built by Custom Seats, Coventry, at great expense (£230 if memory serves me right). It has double thickness gel pads built in for rider and...

If this isn't an event worth going to then I'm not sure what is. Fiver a bike is an impressive amount of money for AfghanHeroes if there's a good turnout :thumbright: Secure site to register: Afghan Heroes - Charity Supporting British Forces in Afghanistan Facebook group: Bike Run in...

How many XRV men does it take to change an XRV lady's light bulb? Answer later. Just back from a great working day in London - huge thanks to Sean for hosting it. Jem made it to Sean's London warehouse last night. I was supposed to be there but was late, held up after driving my dad to a...

I'm just looking for expressions of interest for now. I'm thinking of organising an exclusive XRV bikesafe day in August. Most likely to be a saturday or sunday. The idea is we have the bikecops to ourselves for the day. It costs around £30 for the day, you get all the tea and coffee and...

I popped by the Starcom unit in St Ives as I had a problem with wind noise from my pillion. First thing the chap did was comment that one of my leads was well knackered. But he just marched off and replaced it, despite me insisting I had a spare at home and there was no need. he explained...
