Re: Paint Code for 1989 R100RT Mono - Red
Maybe try a local auto paint shop? There is tech nowadays that allows a matchup using a scan of the existing paint.

Re: Engine Paint?
Just to add, I believe you will need to use etch primer on the engine at least. Otherwise the paint will not adhere adequately?

Re: Royal Enfield. Interesting
Well, I am enjoying my new Classic 500 but frustrated by the frost and salty roads. The bike has what I wanted - proper, almost functional mudguards, a minimum of chrome and a single cylinder. Now I can hear the engine and know exactly how it is doing. I have just sold a Yamaha XJ600N 'Diversion' w...

Re: Possible Trip to Costa Brava, Northern Spain.
The ST is more of a sports tourer with ride position to match but it may well be your missus' bottom that decides! I'd suggest that you plan on the run from Northumberland to Folkestone ish in two hops. That's, say 250 miles and 100. Whether you book a place to stay in Folkestone ish or go straight ...

Re: Some good news at last
Not that I want to defend the current UK gov but we need to remember that the ban is on NEW fossil fuel car sales. Motorists will still be able to continue driving their old vehicles until they become obsolete or too expensive to maintain / run due to additional taxation on fossil fuels. The develop...

Worth reading a bit of history to get a perspective on the anti vaccine argument. Nothing I have heard is very different from the hysteria of the 1850's. Then the fight was typhoid and smallpox. Riots took place as some claimed children who had been vaccinated took on a bovine appearance. I joke no...

Probably best left... it didn't expect to start a political 'discussion' with my poor attempt at irony. Rob It's not politics, it's the media and the way it works these days.

Nope, sorry, the Express does not qualify as a "reliable source"!

Re: Great quote
Directed by John Huston who also directed Bogart in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The two movies have similar plots although the chemistry between Connery and Caine is pretty special.
