    Ok guys tiny moan with my xl600v seating position. May just be me but when in the saddle I feel that I have to keep shuffling back up the seat. Also the slight forward sliding puts pressure on my old thumbs. I know I'm a wuss. Now my question is are there any after market seats with slight...

    High guys, if twiddling your thumbs the UGP highlights are on BBC Player or via web at 10:35 shortly and via : 'Film on.com', select UK Live TV and then BBC NI. Was great last night with onboard cams. Fastest road race in world, used to wander up the road there as a kid. Well, enjoy if its...

    Honda's released some new videos on you tube, I quite like them, kinda gets into the spirit of why we ride. So, their Adventure vid might not get the xrv.org thumbs up ( there is an Africa Twin in there ! ), but a good watch.

    Any recommendations? Sick of chilly fingertips and thumbs... Don't have the standard hand guards fitted (broke off ages ago lol). My worry about muffs is do I need to put the mirror through a separate hole to the cables etc? Cheers :)

    I don't know how u all feel about Genesis but I'm certainly a fan. I used to ride motocross at their site behind Brooklands Museum, before all their crossers got nicked. Years later my bro's used them to pass his cbt and full test and as new as he was to biking he passed no probs and says...

    Yesterday afternoon a large box arrived at work, a quick glance at the label shows it's what I've been waiting for. :p:p It's been a long wait and they are expensive, but boy are they well made! :thumbright: They come with all the fittings you'll need and printed instructions too. It took 3...

    Just ordered an Almax chain via the telephone, very friendly women answered and when I said I had heard about these chains on here, she gave me a free Tailpack worth 35 quid! So if you are thinking of buying one, mention you saw about them on a forum and you will also get a free bag...

    It's here! only had to wait 2 months for the order. Put 1200km's down in the first week and I can say that it is a pleasure to ride, plenty of power and handles well on tarmac or dirt road. I have made a wise choice. Let my friend with a V Strom have a ride and he was also extremely inpressed...
  19. Africa Twin
    I had my new BSM exhaust delivered from David Silver yesterday, and first impressions are that it's well made, much better than a Laser ProDuro, for instance. It's slightly shorter and narrower than the OE item, and the silencer by itself is quite a bit lighter (surprise!). However, the...
