I bought a s/h part from the US and the guy put $25 value on the Customs form so it was pence over the UK customs limit and I paid £3.19 VAT. Not bad but the killer was an additional £10 Parcel Force handing fee
Hopefully my bikes are now a little safer as I have invested in buying and just self fitted an alarm system to my garage today and also fitting a ground anchor tomorrow Just wondered what other means people use to protect their pride and joys? Thieving scumbags will probably rob my house now lol

hi everyone, has anyone got one? Or does anyone know what they are like, I have a friend that's very interested in one but he lives in Hampshire, he can't find any info either. Looks a good little piece of kit, perfect for green laning.
Evening all, Planning a rideout over Christmas and a fellow member would like to ride his quad instead of his usual steed! Before I put a route together can anybody suggest lanes to avoid?

Hi ya - does anyone have a heart rate monitor that they no longer use/want? I want to set up a small experiment to assess the health benefits of trail riding based on monitoring heart rates over a number of rides using a number of volunteers. One linked to GPS would be ideal as the routes can then be referen...
I'm after a second bike and I'm looking at something a little more laidback, befitting my greying hair. I fancy a Harley Sportster 1200 and I've got about £4k to spend. Having recently ridden a Honda VTX 1300C, I've dismissed the larger cruiser type. There are a few around at the moment and some are...
