    What is the best road tyre for Sports Bike?

    If you are worried about grooves in the tyres just get Pirelli Supercorsas or Michelin Power Cups :p Don't worry about punctures, that's a myth regarding soft tyres.

    Tool Chest/Cabinet Recommendations

    Another vote for SGS and Halfords chests, I have one of the SGS 72" rolling chest cabinet things and it's great, and have a selection of Halfords cabinets/chests, though I would say the latest gen isn't as good as the older models :p

    BMW bikes - why?

    They are a boxer twin engine, some of the advantages on a bike are they are air cooled so no need for radiators and pipes etc, and they can keep the centre of gravity lower down. I've not heard of anyone damaging their shins, they've proven again and again to actually save bikers legs in...

    Royal British Legion Iron Butt 1000 Ride - 7th to 9th June 2024

    "If you return to the finish within 17 hours we know you will have been speeding excessively and you will not be put forward for IBA certification." :D ;) Looks great, not sure I want to attempt 1000 miles in 24 hours on a sportsbike though :eek:

    Ask a Plumber....

    For comparison you can get 2m copper pipe for £15 here :):o But yes I expect that's fairly common, if they need a pipe they are usually in 2-3m lengths, never-mind the fact they probably have literally tons of small offcuts in the van.... ;)

    Power Tools & General Tools Recommendations & Advice

    The lever is a quick release, but it's not really that quick when you have to use the screw also, but it's quicker than the ones with no handle and just a screw, because those one's you have to do up tight otherwise the bolt comes loose pretty quick with those vibrations, The Milwaukee one you...

    What did you do to your bike today?

    How much does it cost to fill? I was considering something more economical for a while, was getting boring filling up twice a week with no convenient petrol station on my commute. But now the bike gets used at most once a week so not so much of an issue anymore...

    GT 550 lowering pegs

    The Suzuki or Kawasaki? Both those are 70's and 80s bikes.... or is this something else? Both are also pretty low already and I don't think they have any modification in the peg position, these are pre rearset bikes, as PieEater said with your only real option is so change seat height but that...

    Where to get tyres nowadays?

    I use Oponeo, but you'll need to find somewhere local to fit them for you.

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    Like a mix of old and new regs :D Blue should be your neutral, red the live, and uninsulated/unsheathed is always the earth and correct is has the green/yellow sheath, needs to have it both ends of the exposed when attaching to new terminals.

    Power Tools & General Tools Recommendations & Advice

    Yeah it eats the 5ah's, a bit better with the 5.5ha one, but it all depends on how big your garden is really. Can you send me the link you found please?? I was reading one on Reddit who said it fit fine then further down others saying it needs modification.

    Power Tools & General Tools Recommendations & Advice

    Strimmer is great, easy and comfortable to use with the grip and shoulder strap, you'll want an 8 or 12ah battery with it though. Can't really comment on the quiklok as it's the only attachment I have currently so only put it together once :p I have heard that the Ego Power+ tiller/cultivator...

    Power Tools & General Tools Recommendations & Advice

    Heya, I have the Milwaukee quick-loc but only have the strimmer attachment currently, might as well buy from here and spend £30 more and get the strimmer head: Milwaukee M18FOPHLTKIT-0 M18 Fuel Power Head Kit (Bare Unit) (powertoolmate.co.uk)

    What did you do to your bike today?

    Sadly haven't had the time this year, if what was on the bike was Universal fittings then sure, but the OE is a custom mount on bike end and at the cooler, I did ask HEL about it years ago at the NEC but it ended up being quite expensive. I just wanted a cheap £100 secondhand unit :p
