Free workshop stuff

As it's unlikely I will ever own a dirty bike again I therefore have no need to clean and re-oil my own air filters. Garage clearout revealed 2 part used cans of filter cleaner (Putoline and PJ1) and a can of PJ1 filter oil. Free to anyone who wants to collect from my gaff in Shiphay.

Just for the moment sharpness and lightness of steering feels weird. best just stay straight n lean it n to turn it sticks so far. Touch the throttle harshly n front wheel is lifting. Touch the front brake w...

10 New Adventure Bikes for 2017 - small capacity but still wrong
(Preview)
received a gift subscription to ABR for Christmas. That was nice. Looked at the ten adventure bikes featured for 2017 n they all looked a bit daft apart from these two/three. Benelli 500 cc looks great (but a nutcracker) and the 300cc Kwaker Versys seems like a good idea but they have missed the trick. O...

Sag or rebound suspension investigations

i think the HM's rear suspension is set up incorrectly as It appears to have a life of its own on occasion. Here are my definitive observations from when the new scar was created - I feel it fair offer them as I was up his rear in a manner of speaking.
