What kind of surface was he riding on? Was it a case of being thrown or the bike getting a tank slapper? I am not in the market for those GS, not my cup of tea and I often wonder about the stability of some bikes at speed. I have once had a tank slapper, long time ago but the feeling will never leav...

A lot depends on lifestyle and the type of house. I bought an old house with an old solid fuel Aga in it and with central heating and an open fire up an old stone chimney, no lining. First year 3000 litres of oil. and about 10,000 units of electricity. The Aga didn't work and it was full of asbestos...

I work as a surveyor in my professional capacity. Having spent over 30 years surveying houses as part of what I do I have never ceased to be amazed at what is done by some of the installer companies on the basis of 'this is how its done'. The place is full of people who have been burnt by different ...

My LT has the large Krauser K2 panniers, 42 litres each. On a camping trip I filled them and also the 40 litre top box, one pannier was filled by pillion. On the LT last year on another solo camping trip I got the gear into the 2 BMW 35 litre panniers and top box empty, just packed in a foodshop and...

I do also do a lot of car camping in France and so on but I have totally separate gear for that, nothing is shared with the bike camping, simp...

TapaTalk posted twice... Why d'you want to put your bike in your tent anyway? Take a bike cover or a tarp if concerned about getting it wet... Why would you be concerned about it getting wet? Always seemed weird to me to want to park your bike in a tent, what for? my bike is never allowed to get we...

US Military use it, mostly because they can close their eyes and pretend its a Harley, man it vibrates!!! But it must have great torque.

Sorry but I feel no sympathy for him. I can understand how the collision happened, but she survived it. At that point, had she been looked after, then yes one could understand the nature of it and accept the circumstances and if she was my own daughter I could handle that. You drive on the road and ...

Why don't MAG appeal the sentence???? I am happy to contribute to a fund to appeal it? That is nothing short of disgraceful, the fact is that seemingly she died because she was left on the road, not from the initial crash. Not far from me, a neighbour did something similar when I was young that resu...
