It works the other way. AMC bought Norton for its heritage but did precious little to invest in that so that Norton struggled to compete with the Italian and then Japanese multis and the rest is history. Bloor bought the name but put his money where his mouth was and Triumph is now a global player a...

Happy to donate or pay a subscription to access the forum. May I suggest the formula that other fora use? Viz... a varying level of sub depending on what access is granted. The normal levels are access to sales and wanted ads as opposed to general access however, given the immense level of effort ma...

Glenlyon tea room (part of the PO) is good and lovely rides to get there from both directions.

No can do (again). Will be en route from BC. (Canada, not having a time machine!) :D. Enjoy folks!

Not. Introduced with /7 series.

Off to the Manx so no can do. Next time maybe.

Nae ower faur fae Lossie, far the wifie comes frae! Welcome aboard ma loon!

Fit like Alan?

First question: how much cash can you spend? Below £5k. You are looking at an older "hexhead" GS. Some issues with the final drive and the earlier ones may have the servo brakes. These can and do fail. Try to find one which has had the servo removed. Above £5k. You are looking at later hexheads with...

Plenty of help with airheads here.

Welcome. Enjoy the RT. There's no shortage of advice here

They may may take my freedom but they'll NEVER take my bus pass!

Very sorry to read this. Sincere condolences to those near and dear to Phil.

Sounds convincing. Changing the sensor for a known good un will tell.

I think it was Buzz Aldrin (now 88) who addressed an audience thus ... "Thank you for inviting me, it's great to be here. Hell, it's great to be anywhere!" I count myself pretty fortunate to have been born in the second half of the 20thC. Any other century would have been pretty limiting of my chanc...

Is the headlight oem in every other respect?

Used to brew my own using the late Dave Line's book as my bible. Made some pretty tasty pints though I say so myself! Improvements to malts have apparently made things a little easier these days according to my local home brew shop. Looking at the boom in craft beer, I rather wish I'd stuck at it!

- when I was in the RAF, my accent disappeared and morphed into a quite nondescript, middle-of-the-road, non-accent. When I was home on leave, my mates, mainly miners, said I'd become a posh ****! Pete I'm from Clydebank and Glasgow, but when I was a chaplain in the RAF I remember one Station Comma...

I am saying just that. Blue lights and sirens are for genuine emergency vehicles only and my understanding is that BBs do not count as such. If this job was a genuine (as in life threatening ) emergency, then an emergency vehicle (Police or Ambulance) should have been used. This is one of the reason...

The rider in question should not have used his siren when filtering. The cop should have exercised common sense and had a quiet word with the rider or group admin people at a later date. Discretion. It's what sensible people exercise all the time.

To the tune of the Marseillaise ...

A Gendarme crashed on his 12RT ...

Over to you, gentlemen!

BMW Motorrad dealers tend only to be interested in current bikes. Suggest you contact Keith Garage. The mechanic there is BMW motorrad trained. Ask if you can chat to him over the phone before you bring it down to him. Bit of a distance but more likely to get a result i think. https://www.bing.com/m...

Planned to be there but fate and family decreed otherwise. Next time.

Got an HID unit in the shed you can have for a few quid. Was on 11RT so will fit ok. Original will have to be fitted for MOT.
