I’ve moved the discussion here.
The choices are a whats app group. Rumour has it there is one but I don’t know who runs it or if it’s still in use. Or the FB page. This is in use and I think the mods on here are the “ managers “ on there...
After 45 years (25 of them on one leg) I have given up trail riding. Sold my WR250 last month to stop me as I'm like an alcoholic when it comes to lanes. I will still do the odd day on gravel trails but no more rocks, mud and shit.
It could be...
So I got a puncture repair kit, the oxford one, its ok, nothing special, could have save a few quid to be honest and just bought off amazon.
Any way, the kit has 2 T handled tools in it, and they are a pain when I am trying to make a tidy little...
Anyone got one of those stretch cargo nets?
I am trying to make one, got the stretch cord but every knot I try doesn't work very well.
If someone could identify the knot or take a close up pic, I would be gratefull.

Well, there is a weather warning in Scotland, for snow, in January. Gosh, that's a suprise.
Let's hope it doesn't get too deep or crispy, My balance isn't what it used to be ! ;)
Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year to the few here I know.
Well it's that time of year again for the Crisp family new bike day, both Jack and I got new bikes today.

I was bimbling round Inverness, the wife was shopping, yaaaawn.
Drove past a mercedes garage and did a double take.
There was a bike I used to have, not the same actual bike, but not seen one for ages. Many happy hours spent between Skye (home)...
You know the stands that attach to the bobbins on the rear wheel to lift rear off the deck.
Can you use these single handendly?
Ie on your own.
To say 2025 has been somewhat challenging is a bit of an understatement.
We've had to say final farewells to 6 friends & family between Jan to June, we were hoping for a bit of an upturn for the second half of the year but that was not to be the...
Watching Bret Tracs, Why motorcycles don't want to fall down.
He says, Often to help a situation, adding power helps.

So I am coming to the climax of my farkling, held up by a thread in one of the lower givi crash bars that has galled. Needs helicoil.
I have been weighing everything as it goes on.
Total at 24.683 kgs.
I have taken into account the stuff removed...
So I got my new Africa twin last Wednesday, bitter sweet leaving the old one, but had a great final ride, 200 miles from Skye to Edinburgh. The ride back was slow, running in tyres and engine. Turned off at dalwhinie and slowly started to push...
Some observations about buying a bike and importing it into Ireland.
I nearly bought another Moto Guzzi V85. A very low mileage 2021 model (this might not seem important just now, but read on) that came without luggage and seemed immaculate in...
Ok, so 2 bikes i am looking at.
The africa twin with the smaller front wheel and yamaha tracer 9 gt plus.

I test rode the yamaha, very easy to get on with, you feel part of it in few hundred yards, but...
