So another year has rolled around and it was time for the Dengie100 MCC annual trip to France. 14 People 9 bikes and one car (One ex pillion has Hip Trouble so can no longer ride). Headed for Montreuil-Sur-Mer which is no longer Sur Mer but which is a really old walled town with lots of fine restaur...

Some interesting comments on this thread. A lot of people believe that cyclists should ride single file bit do not know that the Highway Code (UK) actually allows them to ride two abreast . What the Code actually says is: "Rule 66 *never ride more than two abreast, and ride single file on narr...

You are so right - they put on Lycra and disengage the brain. They must have special pouches in the Lycra for their brains I suspect - I have instances or two and three abreast in single track roads - stopping in a gaggle right on a junction blocking the road. Stopping for a drink just round a blind...

Similar to my accident in 2013. Woman turned right straight into my side. Result written off - the rear wheel to silencer gap reduced from 2cm to 2 mm suggesting bent rear sub frame - alo forks damaged and every fairing panel (this was on a R1200ST). Also I got cit lip gashed leg and fractured vetri...

what are the odds that they both have badly scratched number plates. Must be a car park vandal :D Playing spot the differences (apart from the obvious Number plates / GB label): Rear indicator lenses. rear tyre brands seat colour, rear spring, (nearest camera has Ohlins) tank protector, hugger / no ...

If I were to go vintage it would be modern retro Vintage and therefore probably an Enfield 350 as I m told that the 350 is smoother than the 500. Or perhaps the new 650 twin that's coming.

Err just me - I'd check valve clearances first before stripping down and getting involved in expense.

Our Club from the Essex coast loves the Road from Crossgates to Newtown. (and back)

A people say BMW's are ugly? MCN said "Challenging Looks" I'd agree

Also where's the three point pick up? - I thought all Harley Fergusons came with a three point pick up for the plough

I would start with the MOST obvious and cheapest option - Where the earth strap connects to the frame - if this gets rusty you will get a chattering solenoid on the starter and loss of voltage to the starter hence laboured starting. All these 1100s are now getting on in years and corrosion will be y...

I had clear ones with raised bobbles I think "Stompgrip" was the maker - they make pads for Snow Boards hence the name. Very good quality product but pricey about US$55 a set

No matter how hard you push the envelope


It will still be stationary

I googled it - there are as many ways of cleaning titanium exhaust as there are posts. WD40, WD40 and wire wool, Solvol autolsol and wire wool, solvol and a green scouring pad, wonderwheels followed by solvol take your pick. What seems apparent is that as soon as you ide it again they will discolour...

I have lowered the pegs in the past on an 1100S (also put the bars above the Yoke), a 1200ST (also moved bars above the yoke) and now the RT (The RT however has proved the best result Bars don't need changing for me.

http://www.knightdesignllc.com/images/Motorcycle/Foot-Pegs/1-inch-lowered/Sidetrax/Black/Footpegs-Black-1-Sidetrax-600h.jpg Mr R1200Rt is almost perfect but at 6ft and 33 inside leg I still find the foot pegs too high (too near to the seat) my knees and ankles are too bent for long ride comfort.
