    Man dies taking S1000RR on test ride.

    Andybarsblade is absolutley correct.........a stanley knife is dangerous, a grinder is dangerous, a chainsaw is horrendously dangerous....... if used incorrectly.......the operator has the controls........and they can all equally be purchased regardless of training or capability.

    Decent dealers in NE / Yorkshire?

    Hi paul1098, I had a ridiculous encounter with coopers of sunderland when I was looking for the bike originally in 2010. In the end i gave my money to Alan Jefferies of Baildon west yorkshire - I have had no troubles at all with the bike in the 12 thousand miles i've had it - therefore cannot...

    Going touring next year

    Hi on my 1st ever Europe trip this year (to Italy and back through France and Spain) - I used the Ventura system (2 bags) and the BMW tank bag. Apart from the dampness getting into the 'window' part of the tank bag - it was great for the little things like passports and paperwork, money for...

    Going touring next year

    Hi Buzz, i also have the tank bag - kind of impressed and not impressed in equal measures though. I took it to Italy this year and also found it let in water - not to the bag part but to the clear 'phone part at the top. I had a written list of way points - which I eventually stuck in a clear...

It has probably happened 2 / 3 times - switched it to slick and tried it again but couldn't make it repeat.but then again I...

    Speeding Ticket advice please

    Hi Johnboy - not that long ago i got caught on a fixed camera - 46 in a 40 limit - also went on the course. A bit too long to get the point across - but not too bad really.
