rags

White flannels that Ikea sell for 19p each (in the textiles section). Just bought 80 and they are good for cleaning and polishing duties. I know there are lots of options for rags out there but I find these are great to use. I can only face going in there once every couple of years though go on...

As you all know ACF50 is great stuff but a pain to put on the bike as it comes out the can like a hose, not a spray. Most of the time I buy it in a bottle and use various rags/brushes to apply. What I am wondering is, has anyone used a proper spraygun such as the small touch up types the car...

Well, I've had my TA for a week now and done my commute to London from the Island. These are my first impressions - if I'm wrong in any of this, no doubt I'll be corrected! I came from a V-Strom 650 which I had got when I downsized from a series of BM GSs. I'm very fond of V-Stroms and reckon...

I have gleaned many useful bits of info from this forum in the past, so I thought I may reciprocate. A few words on DIY panniers for the TA. Frankly, new hard panniers and fitting rack are an extortionate price, so a DIY solution seems a good idea. The panniers themselves are not a real issue...

I am not working this afternoon. So i am going down to the garage with my tin of Pledge a few dusters and rags and i am going to get hardcore with the polishing on the Africa Twin and Varadero. By the time i finish you are going to need welding goggles to look at them without blindness. Radio...

While walking down the street one day Tony Blair is tragically hit by a bus and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high-ranking politician around...

Appologies in advance, I have to rant before I go looking for fingers with a pair of croppers!!! :evil: I will move this to the sale/wanted if it turns out to be a viable option. Had my 2001 650 TA (52k) stolen by some Corby toe-rags recently, (very young as they dropped it with a full tank...
