I ordered 2 sets of front pads and 1 set of rear pads, as you do, from Wemoto for my Vara 1000. When they arrived all 3 sets had the same part number. On ringing Wemoto, I was informed that front and rear pads for the Vara are identical. Is this right? :withstupid:

With all these cold weather about i thought it might be a good idea to get some hotgrips for my bike as i noticed that at 6am it is a touch chilly.Looked in the local yellow pages to see if there is a bike garage near by. Found some advertising from a guy claiming to "know it all".Since he was...

I'm still on the hunt for a sub-cowl for my fairing, and not having much luck so far finding a used one (stupidly missed one that came with a nose fairing on italian ebay yesterday - should have made sure I didn't miss the auction end and snapped it up then worried about delivery and cost later...

OK, Barftone and I are organising some rideouts for the National Meet on Saturday (BTW, does anyone else want to organise and lead one as well?) We both have something in mind with a possible meet up at some point, but I'd appreciate your thoughts on... Roads only? (Lakeland roads will be...

I would have put this post in the DEALERS forum but it's not really a recommendation. Jenna put in an order from M&P as our usual trade suppliers are not really motorcycle based. It went in on the 24th for Tyre, innertube and brake pads and was told that it would be a couple of days. A few days...

Woke up this morning to find some dirty little fecker has nicked my @ and my girlfriends MZ RT125 from outside my house down in Brighton. It's a black XRV750 with tall screen,center stand, Jama crash bars on the front (don't know of anyone else thats put these on) with a power socket on the...

My Helmet was absolutely soaked after a wet ride to work this morning, so for the first time since I bought it I took the Whisper Kit off to help dry it. I couldn't be arsed to put it back on when I left and bloody hell was it noisy without it, and drafty. I persisted on the motorway for about...

There I was, happy as can be, in Brussells last weekend for the Jazz Festival. By chance I parked the old AT in a street near the Big Square or Grande Place or Centraal Markt. A terrific Galician band appeared playing fabulous music. I was loving it until - those Christian pests started...

Posted this in the "other trailies" forum but thought i'd put it out for all to see. Jack Lilley did up a new Scrambler to look like the one they used in the Great Escape. I want one now. Ride around in chino's, a blue sweatshirt and carry a baseball glove. Oh, and go around jumping fences (I'll...

Jack Lilley did up a new Scrambler to look like the one they used in the Great Escape. I want one now. Ride around in chino's, a blue sweatshirt and carry a baseball glove. Oh, and go around jumping fences (I'll pass on stringing up wire across roads to knock germans off their bikes)

Does anyone know where Paul Cave (aka Caveman) is? I've tried to contact him on his EIBC email address some time ago, and people on the GS'ers forum have been emailing, ringing, etc. all to no avail. Is he away or just on hols? Anyone know?

Does anyone know where I can get some reflective tape to put on the back of my panniers. I see loads of bikes with it on but have just spent an hour looking on the internet and ringing the likes of Halfords and my local bike and car accessories shops to no avail. Toolstation have it but it's on...

I purchased a new set of ear plugs via a link on this site. They are like a very small mushroom in shape with interchangeable filters and a special tube to fit them. As they arrived just in time for planned run out to Aberystwyth I was eager try them out so followed all the instructions to fit...
