So the MT60's need replacing but I never take the bike off road at all it's a commuter for me so thought I would be better off getting road tyres, thing is everyone talks about off road tyres so I'm looking for advice on which road tyres to go for??

Just watching Cornwall with the dopey cow, she just said you can buy a Cornish Pasty anywhere in the world while eating a pasty, which is an issue as the cornish recipe died years ago and i don't know of any bakery that does use the "proper" Cornish recipe. Anybody who's true Cornish knows that...

Still think that the money grabbing, self serving, hypocritical bastards that call themselves the conserative party have your best interests at heart? Well, think again - Redundancy talks period to be cut from 90 days to 45 days. I wonder how many of these tory idiots have had to go through the...

Getting this one in now while its on my mind yes I've been foolish enough to sign up for the Silverstone Half Marathon again (along with Sharrie and hopefully Lady Vader) and I'm back in training after my knee injury earlier in the year. I'd like to run this for a good cause again but don't...

During his talks Sam asked us all to consider signing up for the organ donor register, something he has benefited from himself. It takes 2 mins to do online and I'm now on the register. I'm sure Sam would be delighted if we can get a few more names on there. https://www.organdonation.nhs.uk...

I’d booked onto Simon Pavey’s off road skills extreme challenge at knockhill. I actually hadn’t realised it was a competition till the paperwork arrived earlier in the week but putting that to one side my main reason for going was to gain some off road experience on the R1200GS with the...

Is anyone travelling by car to the national and passing Derby on the way? I've got a projector and screen that could be used for the talks but no way of getting it there. If anyone can offer to transport it please shout up. Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk

:confused: I'm looking at replacing my rear brake pads. 1) Mr. Haynes says push the caliper against the disc to press the old pads back in so when they're removed there's enough space to get the new ones in. How hard should I be pressing? I've no experience of working on disc brakes...

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...

East Anglia Camping/National Location? Hi all. Found a half decent campsite this weekend. Groups - Yes Facilities - Yes Camp fires - Yes Big field with other bigger fields attached so no issues with capacity. Nothing too formal either as far as pitching goes. Recently built shower/toilet...

Anyone know anything about these? Derbi - Terra 125 My daughters spotted them and quite likes them, she had a sit on one last weekend and she looked right at home on it. I've found a few good reports on the web but nothing that talks about long term reliability, as part of the Piaggio group...

Then... I’ve got a series of talks coming up over the next weeks. All organizers have said that visitors are welcome, but that it’ll be on a first come first serve basis. All have on the door tickets prices between £5 and £10. The first talks are as follows: Thames Valley Advanced...

I hope this is in the correct section.. I will be touring Germany in late March of 2011 and I am starting to read through past threads that pertain to all things touring, Sat Nav, Intercoms, Routes, kit etc. I have a newish Dero and the Hondacare Assistance does not run out until Sept 2011...

Just swapped the front wheel bearings over, post MOT advisory notice. Followed the useful 'How to' and bought bearings as per the codes suggested: double rubber sealed. Subsequently noticed that in the Honda workshop manual it talks about bearings sealed only on the outside; does it matter...
