I have one on my bonneville for multi day rides. Brilliant.
I've also used it as a pillow.
Mine is simply tied around the seat with boots laces.
I think ted simon used one too.

Re: My new (used) bike
Great stuff. That looks like the original suspension. So visit http://shop.tecbikeparts.com and look at the progressive fork springs and rear shocks. They transform the ride, off the scale improvement. I wish I did it years ago. http://www.triumphtwinpower.com These guys make a fire starter igniter,...

Re: stealers exchange prices ...... ?
I run a bicycle shop. When asked for a part exchange I explain the price offered will be borderline insulting, because of everything Ralph detail in the post above. Selling bikes is not easy, and it costs money.
If it was easy to sell your bike, you would do it yourself. Give it a go first.

Re: You've got to love EBay !
My business grew up on eBay, I have around 17000 feedbacks, I was turning over about about £4000 a week. But we now do zero business on eBay. I have had threats, blackmail, and all kinds of crap. How've the best one was when I sold the old family car for £250. The guy was weird, he suggested he was ...

Re: Passo Dordona
Looks good. It's not far from stelivio, and it's on route for the European single speed mountainbike champs in Slovenia. Thanks for the video, I think I will now be up there in late May.
Is it me, or was there a lot of bike dropping going on?

Re: triumph bonneville as an alternative adventure bike
A couple of pictures from a trip to the Italian Alps in 2013. Touring mods: 1. The sat nav from the car tied to the bars with only bicycle inner tubes. 2. Some dead sheep on the seat. 3. Krieger US20 on the tank. 4. Dry bag and Jerry can on the back. 5. Slime in the tyres and the tyre weld in a bag....

Re: Wales to southern Italy
Why avoid Switzerland? You can cross it in a day easily. Take a pack lunch to avoid the expensive food. Satnav it to avoid motorways and the 35euro fee. Check out the eiger then take the grand St. Bernard pass into Italy, awesome road. It's the route Michael Caine took in the Italian job so it must ...

Re: Reflective bib required in France
Don't get me wrong, I don't look like the police, and I don't think you should Impersonate them. People behave differently around the police. Have you ever noticed the cars sticking to the speed limit because there is a motorway maintenance Hi viz 4wd on the road? I find being highly visible makes i...

Re: Reflective bib required in France
Oh no, I must be some sort of health and safety nerd.... I wear a hi viz vest all the time. Ok, so you don't look so cool, but no one else gives a hoot what you look like. A hi viz vest makes you invisible to the police, they assume you are a law abiding scout leader on your way to church. A hi viz ...

Re: 2016 trip ( Alps? )
On the way to the Alps I stop at a campsite on an sland right slap bang on the French Belgium border. It's a lovely spot, with a bar. It sits about half way between the channel and the Alps, about a days ride from my home and the Alps if you avoid motorways. Just ask and I will find the name/locatio...
