GDPR Fatigue
Apart from one lucky bloke on here who, because of GDPR, seems to have inherited a small wine cellar from BA, is anyone else getting mightily fatigued by GDPR? It started with a drip - RSPB, several months ago, asking me to say "yes" to receiving marketing and event information from them (...

Re: Dont think I'm a boxer person
That's a shame, but it wouldn't do if we all liked the same things. Most of why you don't like big twins is exactly why I love them. I've only had one four-pot (a V-4) and it was definitely way too many pots for me, so I didn't keep it long. I even find my Tiger 800 triple a bit revvy & buzzy. S...

Re: p xing
I hate selling or buying privately, and just don't want to go through the hassle any more - I'm with Al on that one. I still have my R1200S because I couldn't get an acceptable px deal, and I couldn't face selling it privately. But I got a very good deal when I bought my Tiger 800 from a dealer (pai...

Re: MotoGP - no spoiler
"a perverse glee"
That's a good phrase. Sums up the mix of "oh ffs" and "this'll be a hell of a race now" I felt at the start.

Re: MotoGP - no spoiler
Aye, certainly controversial and another pathetic performance from race control. It was Amateur, if I was a sponsor I would be demanding that race control resign. Honestly it was cringe worthy. Mike Web is clueless. He should go, he also should go on a diet cos he is ruining the reputation of the t...

MotoGP - no spoiler
Well it had everything! Controversy (lots of), great racing, manic racing, penalties (all against the same racer), and a well-deserved win. Oh, and more controversy. I thought it was brilliant, memorable, edge of the seat, swear at the screen, not-good-for-the-blood-pressure stuff, and fist-pump jum...

Re: Anyone here into watches
I have a nephew who was fascinated by watches when he was a child. He used to blag old watches from his parents and friends and try to repair them, usually successfully. When he left school, he went into IT for about 15 years and ran his own web design company. However, he didn't feel he was doing s...

Re: Carol Nash to Bennetts after 4 years with Carol Nash
Agree with most (all?) of what's been said. I resigned myself to changing bike & car insurer every two years, though I think I'm in my third or fourth year with Bennetts because they were still competitive. I swapped car insurance provider (again) this year, and was pleasantly surprised that the...

Re: No Such thing as Bad Weather...
6 miles walking on snow? You must’ve got lost then! :lol: You have put me to shame. I try and do similar most days but no matter what I wear I still get cold so I’ve been frequenting the coffee shops during this ‘beast’ time. Normal rountine again this week ... To be fair, it wasn't as cold as it l...

No Such thing as Bad Weather...
...Only inappropriate clothing. Got well wrapped up yesterday and went for a solo hike across the fields behind our village. Tried to get lost and went off down a path I didn't know. Met the farmer, who said I was the only person he'd seen out, but confirmed I was on the correct route for the circui...

Re: Winter Tips #97...
Like it
Though I might have been tempted to swill it about in the mouth first then spit it into the lock - just to get some of the flavour out first. Yes, even just a teaspoonful - waste not etc.

Re: Please help Mr Thicky
Steve knows me as a technophobe, but I tried all that in the posting pics thread and I still couldn't get it to work. Probably some setting or other on my PC. So I hope you have better luck than me. Do you get any error message during the process? If not, what stage does the process fail at, e.g. u...

Re: bloody weather ....
If this was the first week of January, I'd be quite happy with a decent bit of hard winter weather, but this is 1st of March for crying out loud! The daffodils and primroses were coming into flower but are now flattened. Bloody weather, indeed. I cut my driving teeth in Scotland, working for a boss ...

Track Day Insurance?
I'm hoping to do a track day this year. The last one (and only one, so far) was back in 2011 on my old Aprilia Falco, and was a Bike magazine 'Reclaim our Tracks' day. Good fun, well organised and plenty track time. But... I knew my insurance didn't cover me for track days, and I did look around for...
