    Unfair PCP & HP deals - £1000 compensation

    Just spotted this on MoneysavingExpert forum. Apparently many of these deals had hidden 'optional' commission to those selling the deals. If this applies to your specific deal then it may be possible to claim £1000 compensation. MoneysavingExpert explain how to do this without involving any...

    Boot resoling

    The soles on my Motorrad boots decided to detatch the other day. The boots (and the soles) are still OK but the glue seems to have persished. Does anyone have recommendations for boot repairers or experience of DIY re-glueing (I guess you need to be able to apply pressure while glue cures)...

    Dropping sump on Gen 2 with Akra full system?

    Has anyone dropped/replaced the sump on a Gen2 with Akra full system? If so can you do it without removing the headers from the engine. It looks like it might be possible to get at the sump just by removing the end can and link pipe. I've got a slight oil weep. Looks like the BMW instant...

    Jerez fuel?

    Are there any fuel pumps at the Jerez circuit? I’m going with FE in May & wondering if you can get fuel at the circuit or if you need to take cans to a petrol station like you now need to do at Almeria.

    Forum meet 2020: suggestions

    Is there interest in a forum meet/tour this year. The NC500 forum tour in 2018 was great fun. It would be nice to do something similar in 2020. Anyone got any suggestions for routes and dates?

    Mull of Kintyre, Arran and (views of) Islay & Jura

    Here's the third route of my Scotland trip. The Kintyre peninsula can be reached entirely on the mainland, but its a long way down and back on the same roads, so to avoid doubling back I decided to take a couple of ferries. There are a few choices: if your starting near Glasgow you can take...

    Carrick & Solway Coast Route

    I did this run the day before I met up with Stuart for the west coast loop (below). This is in South West Scotland, not far from major towns (Ayr, Dumfries, Stranraer), but mostly not on major routes. The roads and villages feel more like the highlands & islands than the industrial central...

    Forum meet 2019 Ideas?

    I think that all of us who did the forum NC500/NC767 ride last May had a great time. How about starting to think of a 2019 meet/trip in this thread: If I can start with one idea: How about a Yorkshire meet? This could be central enough for both the Southern members & the Scottish contingent.

    Chain riveter recommendations

    Can anyone suggest a heavy duty chain riveter that is up to the job of riveting a Tsubaki xrg 525? Managed to split the old chain but my cheap riveter gave up on the riveting. Rivets on new chain master link seem quite hard. Riveter wasn't making much of an impact dishing the head when the...

    Brembo serie oro discs vs OEM

    Looking at replacing my front discs & considering Brembo Serie Oro or BMW OEM. Seems like Serie Oro is nearest aftermarket equivalent to OEM. Does anybody know how they compare? They are for standard wheels.
