So, i now have this weekend free. Anyone fancy a camping / rideout weekend? Anywhere in the South / Midlands / Wales area - not fussed. I just need to get out and about, it's been too long and I seem to be booked up for the other activities that are / have been going on.

Sadly I can't make Vader's Wales weekend due to other commitments so I am keen to do something on another date. As the missus is away watching some crappy band in Cologne on the weekend 6-7 August I thought this weekend would be ideal. Camping throughout; holiday season - Bunkhouses will be...

My exhaust manifold is pretty disgusting and unattractive. Anyone used high-temp paint to improve the cosmetics of their bike? If so, recommendations?

My spotlights have become rather temperamental of late so thought I would replace them. As money is fairly tight, and I don’t fancy mortgaging my house in order to afford a set of BMW or Touratech ones, I thought I would give the £20 Cree ones a shot that you see all over eBay. Nothing...

..... hello Tourance. It's like floating on air [emoji12] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Just had my annual renewal through for the GS.... ..... £328!!! If I want to pay monthly it's £374 (34.1% APR). I've got 4 years NCB, never claimed ever on insurance, am 44 years old, had a full licence since 2002 and it's parked on private land. I would have all 13 years NCB if I hadn't...

Anyone aware of a plan? I'm going to need some notice if we want to try and get Pembrey again but I don't want to tread on anyone's toes.

OK folks, thought I would get this started...

Bit of a long shot but i'm after a rear luggage rack for my 1999 Fazer 600. Cheers :)

Car failed the MOT yesterday: --- Registration plate fitted to the rear does not have black characters on a yellow background [6.3.2b]---- Same goes for the front. Now I have certainly seen 3 previous MOTs with no problem at all and I imagine the previous owner even more. Is it just me...

OK, so not quite on the Scale of Austin's adventure but it was nice to blow the cobwebs away in Wales again. Day 1: Chippenham to Broad Haven via the Brecon Beacons. Day 2: Broad Haven to Betws-y-Coed along west coast via Aberystwyth and Portmerrion. Day 3: Climb Snowdon. Day 4: Back to...

I found this to be quite an interesting read... http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?action=dow ... file&id=51

The Vespa just simply didn't cut it with commuting on the Motorway.

..... up on eBay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281674059980? ... 1555.l2648

Am moving house next week 40 minutes down the road from Warminster to Chippenham so phoned up Bennett's to change my address for the bike and the scooter. They wanted £30 admin fee per bike and the GS monthly payment was to jump from £21 per month to £37. I mean WTF??!! Didn't hang around for...

So, finally got around to replacing my Vario boxes with sturdier ARD cases fitted to TT racks. One question: Should the soft clamp be touching the exhaust?? I cannot see how else it would fit. See the last photo.

Managed to get a second-hand Touratech pannier rack and a couple of Ard cases so it's time to say cheerio to the Varios. Come complete with inner bags and the brackets. I will get some pics loaded at some point but am away now until Sunday night so it'll be after then. They're in generally...

Hi folks, Oil pressure lamp came on the other day and I don't understand why. It had new oil and filter 1500 mls ago and the levels are perfect. I have no leaks. Any ideas? Should I do another oil and filter change this week to see if it rectifies the problem? Cheers, any advice appreciated.

The bike's nice n'all ;)
