How far can an unqualified person go with installing a new power circuit in his home?
I'm installing two new power circuits in my home office. I've already mounted the dado trunking and I will run the electrical cables from the fusebox through the attic to the office (not connected to either end). How much further can I go before I get a REC? Can I wire up the 13 amp sockets and leav...

Re: Would you buy a new bike without a test ride?
Tell me more about the Royal Enfield. I been thinking about one myself. Had the originals back in the day, along with AJ's Matchless and all the BSA's. And no I wouldn't buy any bike that I couldn't test drive. I never had any of the originals. My brother has an original Clipper and he loves it. Th...

Would you buy a new bike without a test ride?
In 2019 I bought a new Royal Enfield Himalayan. I had no problem taking a demo for four hours from BikeWorld. Now I want to buy a Honda CB500X and a Honda CRF300L but no test rides are available and almost every dealer says "No need for a demo, these bikes sell themselves". To me that's BS...

Re: This is what I did to my bike today
Good stuff, working on a side stand extension for my bike to avoid the bike toppling over on campsite ground for Spain. Such a tricky bike is the ER6f, the side when up runs too close to the chain! Have a makeshift rubber attachment fitted but so difficult to attach a thick pad or mount. Nearly the...

Re: Online shops for Bike gear and parts
Please read xlmoto's feedback on google maps before ordering. Wish I had.
Also note, although they say free returns within 60 days, they charge you £7.95 (yes, sterling even though they are a Swedish company) restocking and handling fee.

This is what I did to my bike today
Did it yesterday... I did The Boreen Run last week and used the Yamaha Serow 250. It was a shake-down for doing the Portuguese ACT (Adventure Country Tracks) later this year (hopefully). Anyway, I found that I needed to adjust the preload on the rear shock so did it when I returned as I didn't have ...
