Re: EU exit, for or against?

Interesting read/views. Im still undecided - it appears were all doomed whichever way we vote. Typical political spin I suppose. Immigration seems to have tailed off the agenda a little lately and the focus has turned to how rich or poor we'll all be dependent upon which way we jump. I'm skint anywa...

Re: Genius things you did as a child

Rolled a joint for a lad I didn't particularly like and included the internals from a roman candle firework. I You know the little round balls that fly out the firework in different colours? Not the brightest thing I ever did but can still see him running away from his green flamethrower now :-)

Re: Sat nav recommendations please

Your welcome to try either of my old ones chap they're just taking up tool space in the garage. Sent from my E5823 using ...

Re: Loud pipes

I live at the side of the 57 and hear the screaming bikes constantly but it don't piss me off I quite like the sound. I also have a road legal slip-on on my bike with removable baffle (illegal) and I ride it with inserted/removed - not killing anyone either way. I also commute when the school runs o...

Re: Any James Toseland fans?

I enjoyed this (despite JT52 hair band). Think he's a bit worried about the challenge next week - oil wrestling in eastern Europe - but his size may make it easy for him to escape a hold. Wasn't impressed with that 100m sprinter who clearly couldn't be arsed but the other 3 did fantastic. Sent from ...

Re: Mirror indicators

I tried these mirrors but the view was shocking on my bike. On the plus side I liked the little LED lights on the actual mirror which reminded me I'd left my tick tock on (with hindsight I didn't need that reminder - I'm obsessed with checking my dash). Fitting will possibly be OK on a n other model...

Re: EU exit, for or against?

No idea but first inclination is out. Why? Simply that neither the pro or anti EU beurocrats have come up with a compelling argument. From what I have seen/read trade won't be an issue - Germany want those BMW and Mercs sold here as much as we want to buy them. Question is do the German giants have ...

Re: Safety recall

Cheers guys you're spot on. I dropped bike off yesterday so had a chat with the chaps about the recall. They told me they need to check tappets and valve clearances and in about 35% of cases the bike needs valves replacing if the former have been out of tolerance. Also, appears it's mainly on bikes ...
