Re: A dram in exchange for the pox...

How so? I've seen many doctors stating the death rate at worst similar to flu. It seems that the side-effects can include............ I'm not a medical person and cannot understand or comment on medical conditions, I saw figures that convinced me that the death rate was similar to the annual flu we...

Re: A dram in exchange for the pox...

The highly overrated flu going around is not the problem, the government is. So you go to the pub and days later they get a positive on the day you were there. You might not have been there at the same time. You might not have been anywhere near the positive but you are then stuffed. And if a member...

Re: BMW F800R recommission!

Looks smart mate, as I said a good statement for BMW as most people find their finish below par from what I've read. I was thinking that. My only BMW an F650SC single, I gave it a good washing and nearly all the paint came off the crank cases leaving a white powder like coating. Luckily spray silve...

That's for you to decide but all that torque for a fun daily ride that costs just nothing in fuel might be worth a ride.

Looks pretty to me. Given your journey and the size of Malta you've got to blag one for a few days. The TC Max has a more fun spec.

Re: Camper Van Conversion

300. The rear roof vent was missing when i got it. Just put the perspex over hole as it was to get removed anyway as i want the solar facing front to back in that area. That's a lot. Our first van I fitted 100W and just managed in decent weather. Second I fitted 200W and just about never needed hoo...

Even the bend chevron has been clattered! https://goo.gl/maps/2S2GLR7LcZT2DpGD6 All within sight of the speed camera. And if you spin round to this view the wall shows where the bikes work out that this is a decreasing radius bend. Long ago, just after the Ducati 916 came out I got souvenir piece o...

But i gave him a wave and pulled away as he got caught up in traffic. Orgasmic, isn't it. I followed a black Lamborghini in traffic, lots of revving, I must admit it sounded awesome, some overtakes. Then I just pottered past him and half a dozen others at the next lights. I even slowed down in the ...

How would you prefer the dickheads were targeted? I like the Derbyshire approach with their Fireblade.
