I'm very sorry about your loss. Good to hear that you and Trin are okay, thanks for letting us know that you're safe.

Thanks finboz, I'll have to print that out and read it through with a thought.

I'm thinking about trying on some back protectors and maybe buying one from this years motorcycle fair. What are the main qualities to consider about materials, fitting and sizing? If you have experience in using a back protector or have tried different models, please share your information.

121 here. No real need to lose any weight, but I do need to start changing the fat into muscle. Except that I hate exercising. Blaah...

I'm 170 cm, so that makes about 5'7''.

Here's a Finnish site: Petrol prices. On top of the page there are the average prices (keskihinnat).

Good to hear about those Alpinestars. I don't want any ski boots! :p Those ICON boots looks so cool! On a passenger I've seen those kind of high heel boots, but I don't think I could ever drive a bike with those. (I'd like to try anyway)

I like the idea. but are the replies limited in those other forums' threads? I mean that it's a bit tiresome trying to read about someones mods when there's atleast 5 "good job!"-replies after every post from the original writer. Maybe somekind of questions only -replies could work.

Yep, my boots aren't very good for walking either. The material is not very flexible. My horse riding boots would fit a Harley-style, they are like classical cowboy boots. But I don't think they would protect my feet as well as those motorcycle boots since they have no ankle covers and they...

I've got a pair of plain black motorcycle boots. The boots are probably unisex fitting, not a special lady's model. They're made of black waterproof leather (Goretex or something like that). Looks a bit like this: They have worked very well for me, no complaints here. What kind of boots...

I still remember Buffy-series too well. Sorry lads but Alyson's credibility is quite gone for me. :p

I found this picture from the pages of Finnish road administration. Taken in 11.32 am today in Espoo (maybe 10 km from Helsinki downtown). Not so snowy as I would have guessed. (That one car sideways on the left looks kinda hilarious. And yes, it's supposed to go that way.)

-5 C and it's been snowing for two days. One would think that since this kind of weather usually lasts for at least 1/3 of the year, people know how to drive in it. But no. Yet again this morning the traffic was, well how would I say it, SLOW!

Of the very few places I've visited, Vienna was really worth seeing. I'd also like to visit Rome or Venice. Oh, and München too. Here in Finland there are a lot of beautiful places in Lappland which are for me somewhat exotic. But if you look at my photo gallery you can very well see that the...

Relaxing your grip does the thing. But pay attention to your gloves too. Too thick gloves or separate rain gloves makes it harder to maintain your grip on the throttle without squeezing.

Oops... I think I just ruined your poll (Oh! It was a multiple choice poll. Well, who would have guessed.And meant for UK members. D'oh! ) Sorry. Edit if you can. Anyway. I was going to say that my '05 has 72 kw. That was the only model there was that time. The power output is specified in...

Thank you guys for your help. It seems that this problem has been solved. At first I was actually thinking Shaggys second suggestion since it's probably something I could have done (almost) succesfully. Though pulling out the hard drive sounded much more fun. But I decided to search for the...

I have yet another problem. (Like I didn't have them enough to start with...) Anyway, here's the situation: I have some files in my old PC that I need to get into my laptop. The old PC has Win98 and no wireless appliance and it's not online. I've tried USB memory stick, but it won't work in...

The average prices in Southern Finland are 95E: 1,329 €/litre 98E: 1,365 €/litre Di: 1,134 €/litre, which makes 95E: 7,093 USD/gallon 98E: 7,286 USD/gallon Di: 6,053 USD/gallon. (The highest price for 95E is 7,627 USD/gallon :eek: )

I'd say my favourite author is Iain M. Banks. I just love his books about The Culture. Neil Gaiman, Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett aren't too bad either.
