A friend of mine has a bunch of biker mates coming down from Essex and is looking for a Devon B and B that is biker friendly and could either guide some riding or provide some routes to follow on the black stuff, any ideas? Does Jim do road runs?!

Noted at the weekend the CRF needed new rear pads, while I was fitting them I gave the caliper a good old clean up and freed up the piston etc Tonight I decided to have a go at the front, found one piston was a bit 'stiff' so had em both out for a clean up - fluid looked a bit mucky so changed that (my new bargain E...

After having the valve fall of my front tube on Sunday (though I managed to have it changed and back on the road in 20 mins) I am thinking of running tubliss or mousses. Advice about the difference of these would be appreciated. Also my front rim is bent, would that make a difference????? Cheers Steve

I can't decide which to go with.. Bike value approx £1500 Fully comp - £79.48 with £500 excess TPFT - £69.68 with £200 excess I suppose it depends on whether I think my bike is more likely be crashed (and not able to claim from the 3rd party) or stolen. I'm leaning towards TPFT as I can do a lot of repairs (in...
