…but making the most of the wait!

Howdy folks. I sold my Gen3 a few years ago (needed the ??) and haven't been on the forum much as I found coming on here a bit sad TBH... I wonder if the current owner of GY17KZX is on here?... I digress Those of you who unfortunate enough to have met me know that at 6'7" I need a bigger bike...

First track day since the crash. Bit nervous now....

Noticed that when I brake I can feel a slight tap in the bars. I recall from past posts that this may be a head stock thing. The steering is smooth. What do you guys reckon? Also, is it one for my local guy or BMW?

Is it available on-line? Don?t mind paying. The lad wants to watch it. Pub?s a no go [emoji53]. H

Evening all. Sorry about the dirty bike. It?s a proper workhorse and I only lube the chain. Garage adjusted my chain a couple months ago (was slapping the swing arm). Now needs adjusting again +60mm slack, over the recommended 45-50mm. What?s the mechanism for this happening? I noticed some...

Hi guys. Dims say 56x45x25 cms so a lid doesn?t fit and it?ll get trashed in the hold. What do you lot do? T?internet says not a drama Anyone ever worn it as a hat? [emoji1787]

Got these great little lights from a Dutch Ikea with transformer plugs. When you add an adapter, it looks ugly and is a bit of a hazard. I?d like to snip off the plugs and wire into a UK transformer plug. Is that gonna be possible? Output seems to be 7V, 0.43A, 3W Thoughts welcome. H

Afternoon all. My lovely NRC tail tidy has LED lights set in Perspex blocks like this... So far so good...Until they stopped working. NRC are from sunny USA and are bemused at me riding in all weathers, and have been very good about sending me replacement numberplate light and indicator light...

Morning Gents. How much should I advertise my Gen3 for on Autotrader? 15,000 miles. I might get the extended warranty added before the 2 year manufacturer warranty expires end of April. Thoughts welcome as there's bugger all similar private sale RR's on Autotrader to compare with at the mo...

Afternoon gents, Been umming and ahhing about selling the RR (happy reasons, got exciting plans). If I buy an extended warranty, I presume it resides with the bike? Also, when is the gen4 coming into dealers as long-legs here needs to try it for size. Obviously there'll be a massive waiting...

Evening all. Got a puncture on a test ride and would like to turn the crash bar LED?s on. Not got a clue how to though. Anyone any idea. Effectively managed to swing an overnight test ride. Lol

...when I'd be seriously contemplating test riding a Harley Davidson. In dealers after August 2019 apparently. Just sayin

I?m gonna be having 7-14 days between rides this winter. Should I pop her up on front and back stands? She?s wearing Road5?s at the mo. Cheers, H

I bet everyone on here has a similar connection. This is mine. We've all either known, been, or perhaps raised, a 17 year old boy. Check the inscribed dedication on my mum?s uncle?s gravestone. How on earth did his parents decide what to inscribe on their 17 year old son?s gravestone after he...

To paraphrase ?Withnail and I?, I?ve come on holiday to Normandy by accident. Staying tonight at Saumur and gonna wander my way to Dieppe for a Friday night crossing. I?ll post how I ended up here and not the Pyrenees in a couple of days. In the meantime, any tips on good routes would be most...

- Been ages since I bust a windscreen. Obviously the best thing to do is replace, but it's got forward facing radar tech up by the mirror so it'll cost a bomb as may have to get done by the garage. Don't wanna trash the warranty getting a similar bunch of muppets who I watched do a neighbours...
