Cool - I'm planning to do Scotland this year. Any recommendations on good roads? I want to get as far north as Morayshire - haven't been back there since I were a lad... ...oh forgot - this is what I'll tour like, plus a tankbag. I got the bike specifically to start a bit of touring.

+ 1 on that. Devil cans w/o baffles + Shoei Multitec helmet = couldn't hear my iThingy at all, and that's with the Sennheiser CX500 buds I upgraded to from the crappy Apple ones. I guess if I spent hundreds of quid on the specially moulded things musicians wear on stage it might be different...

Cool - I didn't know about that, thanks - those are the little nuggets of discovery that make history so interesting. We'd probably agree it didn't affect the outcome of the Battle of Britain, but I do take your point that, if the Germans had invaded Britain in 1940, without guns any resistance...

I didn't get the R1 either, but my dealer's got this fantastic TRX850 in superb nick. Year 2000, just 5387 miles (!!), £2294. I've always fancied one and am sorely tempted...P.S. hasten to add, not as a replacement for the Fazer, more a summer bike.

I love my RAM mount too, but the problem I'm having is with the v2 Docking Shoe for my v2 TomTom Rider GPS. I'm on my third!! They keep failing to charge the GPS unit. Anyone else have this problem?

Get a two-piece leather suit made to measure. Expensive, but it'll fit like nothing else, you can have it designed to your taste and it will stand you in good stead for years (unless you put on weight lol) including some trackdays where you can get your knee down to your heart's content. I...

Er, no. "Lend-Lease (Public Law 77-11)[1] was the name of the program under which the United States of America supplied the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, China, France and other Allied nations with vast amounts of war material between 1941 and 1945 in return for, in the case of Britain...

Interesting take on history. Over here, we believe the Germans called off any invasion of England after they lost air superiority in the Battle of Britain Battle of Britain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia which ended in October 1940 and in which predominantly British pilots flew in British...

I've got pretty much the same bike set up as you - http://www.600riders.com/forum/main-lobby-new-member-section/11517-new-member-uk.html - and went with the Yamaha top box. Yes, it does wobble a bit on it's mounting if you give it a good shake, but I regularly load it up with laptop, files...

I think a good number of us in England think the fewer guns around, the better. If the citizens have guns, then the crims think they need them too, so do more of the police, fingers get lighter on triggers and it all escalates until kids get caught in the crossfire...

Absolutely. Glad you're ok.

I'm the same when I'm cut up - I guess I concentrate on getting out of harm's way, retaliation is the last thing that comes to me. Pity, it's probably the only way some drivers might learn. I remember when I was a newbie car driver, I pulled into the path of a bike without checking my mirrors...

Hmmm...pity. I'm probably going to pass on the handguard LEDs, then. I've already got enough going on with my bike electrics - headlight mod, heated jacket, heated grips, GPS, Scottoiler - I don't want to push it all too far!

Fz6Sa The handguard fixing bolt is about the same weight as the OE bar ends, so I guess they do the same job in damping vibrations. Certainly, I don't notice any vibration problems with them now they're fitted. Simon

Grommit I got mine here: Acerbis Plastics - Handguards - Dual Road But you're right, you can get them direct from Acerbis Paramano Strada and probably other suppliers in the UK. I'm still curious how the LED inserts (available separately) are powered... Simon

Grommit Yes, I've got the handguards fitted already (see below) and they work well, just wondering now how the LEDs (which you buy separately) are powered... S PS - actually, since this photo, I've fitted black ASV shorty levers, too - even better!

For those of you who have/thinking of having these handguards: Acerbis Moto Yes - or too tarty? Also - don't know how the LEDs are powered; batteries? I wouldn't be interested in yet more wiring. S

I currently have a TomTom Rider v2 - the unit works well on the bike and in the car. The only problem I'm still having is that the mounting shoe on the bike is not charging the unit. I've sent one back to TomTom for replacement already, now the second one's gone back too. I had a Zumo on my...

And this the evening before: R1 Competition I know which one I'm going to :thumbup:

Bit of a problem you might be able to help me with. My dealer has recently fitted me a Scottoiler but I'm not getting any oil flow onto my rear sprocket and chain. On further inspection: - the oil reservoir and tubing setup looks fine - but the dealer has inserted a 6cm long piece of bendy...
