Tough challenge for my daughter Lisa but I think she will manage it and she is training hard for the event, a full marathon and most of it is off road and some on a beach, only 15% is on tarmac so gruelling. The charity is for Guillian Barre syndrome and Cancer research and I see some have already given gener...

(Preview)
After becoming intimately acquainted with a concrete bollard this morning I'm in the market for the services of a mobile paintwork repairer. Has to be mobile as I can't be without the car for a day. Any recommendations for a competent operative? -- Edited by Tim on Tuesday 13th of May 2014 07:09:49 PM

I'm thinking of getting a van to replace the CrV that will be heading back from hoots. A van that can perhaps transport a couple of bikes, kayak on roof etc and be crashed out in if needs be... Nothing too smart nor too large but functional. Anyone know owt about Mercedes Vito? Seems a good compromise w...

Noticed a weird noise coming from my engine. Sort off a clack clack clack sound at the end of lanes but it almost immediately disappears. Found a good ol' boy on YouTube with the simliar noise. Any ideas shipmates? Skip to 1:40 to avoid unnecessary irritation. [video=http://youtu.be/cd6_jef33...

Tim mentioned Byway Map ( http://bywaymap.com/index.html ). Seems a great way to build routes for non-TRF folk. Want to clarify the meaning of the 3 classifications (red, amber, green) on the map. Green - BOAT Byway Open to All Traffic is obvious Red - Restricted byway, presumably a no go Amber - Byw...

What experience have we on the forum of two strokes? If I change my bike for changes sake (is that a real word), I wonder about going the whole hog and trying a 250 Freeride. Apart from the obvious (the bike is compact and I'm not) how suited is it for the lanes of south Devon? 92kg means it's crazy light and...

Front brake caliper misery
(Preview)
After more than a year of CRF ownership I thought I'd have a look at the front brake caliper to see why it's always been a struggle to get the front wheel off. Turns out that the pistons are seized solid and the pad retaining pin won't come out either. Moan wail tearing of hair etc. etc. What do I do? Is it a...
