I find if I don't ride for a few weeks my battery goes flat (ie not enough juice to turn the starter ,everything else lights up) and I have to charge it overnight with my Optimate. My hypothetical question is...

    Which Boots ?

    I have had Dainese offroad boots for 40 000km and have been very impressed. 100% waterproof with good shin protection which has saved me from a fracture at least once. On impact the leather on the inside (!!) of the boot split but the hard ridges outside held firm , as did my tibia. They look...

    My Pig has 67000kms and as far as I am aware the starter has never been touched. Would a "service" be recommended or rather leave well enough alone ? What does a service involve ??

    Flip up helmets?

    I have used a BMW system 4 flipup for years and I love it. Actually prefer it to my Arai tourx when it comes to comfort, wind noise and convenience. On long trips I always ride with  both clear & tinted visors which you can switch in a minute.

    Sal jy weer toyrun doen?

    Did my first one with my 10 year old daughter. It was her first time on the bike and she had full ATTGATT passed down from her older boet. When I read what happened in PE it gives me cold shivers as it could have been me(us). The massed ride made me feel like I was riding the 94.7 having so many...

    Been using SG10's on my plastic and I agree they are a fantastic boot. I'd like to keep them for my 1150 as "dualsport' boots have pathetic protection in comparison. Only problem is I cant get the boot to fit between my Fastway footpeg and the gear lever....any suggestions. Otherwise they will...
