Re: A new problem has appeared.

Same local to me on the A737, 3 cyclists on the road together and a 3.5 mile tailback behind them (just checked on maps). Luckily I was going the other way. Yes, they have the right to be there, however are they so stupid as to not realise that they are causing a huge queue, or do they just not car...

Re: Changing from a 1200GS to a Honda?

A dirt bike compared to the CT. Let us know how you get on. Thanks for this. I'm 5 foot 6 (and a half) and about 10 s...

Re: Changing from a 1200GS to a Honda?

DCT is brilliant. I tell anybody that listens to put it straight into "MT" manual and use the trigger and flipper for gear changing but a mate had a shot and loved how idiot proof the experience was in Auto. Later versions are apparently cleverer and can be more tailored in Auto. (2013 DC...

Re: had to be done!

Fantastic price for the amount of metal you are getting. I could not really pick any holes on the quality either. Unfortunately they are too physically big for SWMBO so we are still looking at that *cough* "UK" option. :D
