By doing that you are closing all your pockets, zips, helmet, bags etc with bare hands and can feel what you are doing.

You are a Yorkshireman, we are never too old for anything and even if we are we are to stubborn to be told that we are.
My father in law is 75 and still rides his Honda 350T. Simon Gandalfi , the author who is 75 now and riding in India at the moment, I think. Simon was 73 when he rode his...
Just before Christmas we lost 20 out of our workforce of 60. We make sails for yachts.
We are now taking people on again and I am working overtime Tues, Wed, Thurs and Saturday morning.
Someone must be buying yachts again which must be a good sign.

They never seemed to fit very tight. I tried double sided tape but they still seem to slide of the end of the bar. I moved to Vista Cruise control and really liked it.

The best screen I had on my 06 was the original screen cut down. The idea is to have a lower screen rather than a higher screen. Ask the naked guys, they do not have any of the...
In Denmark we got snowed in 3 weeks before Christmas and it has been the same ever since.
It is just beginning to look as though the snow is going but we have had that about 6 times and it just comes back with a vengence.
Our motorbike season starts on the 1st March but is actually more...

Jannies dad gave us two pairs of cross country skiis that need the bindings refurbishing. As if I have not got enough to do with my little Moto guzzi.
By the time I get the skiis...

I belong to one in Denmark and it is very relaxed and all the events are well attended. I do not like the idea that I have to turn up to a bike club on a certain day each week which is why I prefer the internet club.
Someone puts a post...
Here is a variation on the theme, and a lot easier to rig up at home I would think.

Davey,
I was not having a pop at you Just Charlie Boredom.
But I will take a pace back because it has been pointed out that he does do charity work.
But then if I did not have a real job then I would as well.
If you want to be inspired by a biker and see one of the best bike films...
Charley Boorman - for riding the Long Way Round/Down and putting up with Ewan MacGreggor all the way! And for sparking my dream of doing something similar one day.
You must be joking. :Flip:
First of all if it was not for Ewan Mcgregor Charlie Boredom would never have got either of the...
