Re: Heated grips

I've got Oxford ones on my XT1200z and symtec ones on my XT660z and I have to say the oxford ones are far superior to the symtec ones. The symtec's work but they aren't as toasty as the Oxford ones. Plus you can swap bars etc with the oxford whereas the symtecs need replacing if you change the bars....

Re: Exmoor

The coast road from Minehead to Lynton and Lynmouth is superb especially as you come off the moor and drop down countisbury hill into Lynmouth.

Living just up the coast in Bideford means this is my playground and I consider myself very lucky to live here.

Re: problems with my windows again! (contains nastiness, people of a nervous disposition look away now)

This made me laugh, I got the same phone call on Wednesday. He said "you've got a virus" I said "I've got tourettes......F..k off" The more annoying thing at the moment is I must get at least 4 or 5 calls a week from different organisations offering to recover my PPI claims for m...

JTS leathers sell resonably priced waterproofs in a huge selection of sizes, one piece or two piece have a look.

Re: Latest Issue

I personally like the mag, and adverts are something that all magazines have to have in order to survive. My only criticism covers all bike magazines etc. and their kit reviews in that they never review kit suitable for anyone other than an average sized biker, it's all very well covering the latest...

Re: Anyone use microfibre towels ?

Yes, they are very good.

Mountain warehouse are selling huge bath sheet one's for £7.99. Pack down really small, dry you really well (provided you've washed them first)and dry really quickly in the sun or in a breeze.

Re: Attention Super Ten owners

I stayed in touring mode till the first service but have been in sport mode ever since, haven't noticed any change in the amount of fuel used but do enjoy the much quicker response/pick up from the engine.

Re: Attention Super Ten owners

Looks like I'm going to be going back to them to get the recall done, and get them to check the spokes and change the final drive oil. Many thanks guys. You would have thought a Yamaha main dealer would know what they had to do even though it was a free service.

Re: F1: Bahrain (spoilers)

Luv it, I do enjoy a bit of banter. The finger pointing is the thing about him that really annoys me more than anything. I'm a true Brit so my loyalties will always be with the brits. His overtaking skill are somewhat limited compared to Hamilton or Button (JB, does need to be firing on all cylinder...
