    Maintenance Mate tool (UK owners probably)

    My annual service is due soon and the service icon will need clearing. Already aware of the GS-911 tool which is quite expensive but while looking online at prices a moment ago I came across this product that I’ve not seen before. Picture below. It’s being sold by a very reputable independent...

    UK - heads up on new legislation regarding new ICE vehicles

    Hello all, A couple of days ago I learnt about new legislation thats come in now (Jan 2024) regarding new vehicles in the UK. Cars, vans and yes motorcycles. There are two YouTube videos I would highly recommend and perhaps someone IT savvy would be kind enough to do a hyperlink because I know...

    YouTube MAM Journals

    For those interested in a new video review, a chap going under the name ‘MAM Journals’ has had the R18 100 Year Edition on loan. He was very complimentary about it. He doesn’t have thousands of subscribers (and do the clickbait find fault for something to say hater thing) but he’s a respected...

    Ok, so how many actually are there out in the wild?

    Afternoon. Think we would all agree that the R18, Classic, B and TC have had more than there fair share of ‘haters’. Some people seem to go out of their way to have a dig. It got me thinking. Is it really that bad a seller and if so compared to what? I commented positively upon a YouTube video...

    English Anvil & Vice 👍

    Well chaps, after quite some time of scanning the classified ads for something nearish to me at the right price I’ve finally realised a long time ambition…..to bag myself an anvil and proper Vice. Pictures below. I got lucky, real lucky and purchased them from a retired 82 year old gent who had...

    JAMMYONE100

    Some/many of you may not have seen this little gem of a 20 min Youtube video where a guy takes out a HD Street Bob 114 & then jumps onto an R18 (In England). It’s not a ‘review’, just a chap enjoying the bikes. I really enjoyed it. You may too….. Note I don’t know how to create hyperlinks...

    A perfect stranger

    Morning, Yesterday I went to my local (Council owned) gym, like I do three times a week. Been going there for years and know most people who work there or train there pretty well by now. However, there was a new chap on the desk, as soon as he spoke I noticed his American accent. So, we...

    DRL- daytime running light R18FE

    Afternoon all. I did try a search but couldn’t find anything. When I ride in the daytime there’s a little green headlight symbol on the dash. I can choose to ignore it but wondered if it should actually be on? I have looked in the manual but it wasn’t overly clear (to me anyway) what was going...

    Being acknowledged by other m/cycles

    Just an early observation, a positive one (if this even matters to you). I have noticed when I pass other m/cycles I get acknowledged by them, a nod of the head or maybe a raised hand. It’s nice. I mention it because when I had a Goldwing this time last summer it was like I had an invisibility...

    Forum donations?

    About a fortnight ago I made a small donation to the site $10. I appreciate what it offers and wanted to chip in towards the cost of running it. I did it via PayPal and know it’s gone, where does it show on the forum? Just curious and obviously hope it’s gone to the right place! TIA.

    New member saying hello

    Morning everyone. Last Friday I decided to buy a ‘new’ leftover 2020 FE. Should get it early August ( pic will follow). I’m 53 next month and have been riding since I was a teenager. Had lots of bikes over the years of all styles, all the Jap brands, Triumphs and even Guzzi’s. In relation to the...
