Hi. I have one fortunately. Shortly after taking that pic after a ride out this morning round Whitby it started to pour down. It's still at it now. Regards.

Hi. Widen the gate was the answer. I can ride the bike in and out now. Coming in forwards, onto the side stand, balance the bike and whizz it round so it stands right upto the wall, left of picture. Got mates rates as well. Cheers.

Widen the gate it is.

Hi. I have a 2021 Honda CB125R which I keep off street in a rear yard for security. The yard gate is under 3 feet wide post to post. Getting in and out is a bit of a struggle. I have to lean the bike and quarter turn the bars to get it in and out. Advice required regarding retractable mirrors as its them thats more a problem than the bar ends. My little Yamaha YZF125R had folding mirrors and was a treat in tight spaces. Has anyone out there fitted and had success with retractables, that either retract up over or back. Info please where best to get some and female screw size would be appreciated. Regards.

Eh up. Cheap lid. No chance of a repair. Chastsized. Pee taken out of me. Im off for a pint. See you tomorrow. Cheers.

Hi. I have to agree, thanks for the advice. I bought cheap and Im now paying the penalty. Cheers. Granty.

Hi all. Ive manged to break the visor latch on the above. Checked with supplier and no spares at present. Im hoping to keep using the helmet with goggles. With the visor off it looks similar to a motocross helmet without a peak. Any goggles users out there. I wear specs so I want some thing that will over the opening and not inside it. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards. Granty.

Hi. Been down to pub had a couple of pints. Went out with a couple of quid and I've come back with £1.50, and a packet of chips. PS. Sold jeans for ninety quid. Regards.

Hi. Wore em today on a ride. As yet nothing wrong at all. They were comfortable and the knee armour sits right on the knee. Nice deep pockets and plenty of strong looking belt loops for belt wearers. I described them as being slightly baggy. They are below the knee but they're better for it as the bottoms go over the top of my boots. I wear my bike trousers using braces as I can't get away with a belt when I'm sat on bike. I'm going down to pub in em tonight. Regards.

PS. I've just been rooting in me bin and found some more details on the box. They're a Swedish firm. The postage was only £4.95 so they must have a UK warehouse.

Hi. I went online and found this XL Moto site. I thought it was a UK firm but I think the jeans came from Germany. Delivery was nearly two weeks but we had a couple of strikes in between. They had some nice biking stuff in stock. They supplied tracking details so I could see them on their way. They were well packed and there was a returns label in the box. Regards.

Hi. Just arrived, first impressions very good. Course Drift aramid lined jeans for warmer weather use. Came with hip and knee armour. Ordered my normal size and the fit is perfect. They're on the heavy side, only slightly baggy but really comfortable. They were on offer for £39.99 with a bit of postage, I'm well pleased. Regards.

Hi. Thanks everyone. Because of what I've read I'm not overly worried about it now. Cheers.

Hi. I've a 2021 Honda CB125R with the following problem. On a cold start the bike sits there at constant revs with no throttle inputs. However there has been a few times when the engine revs increase to about 300/400. After two or three seconds the revs drop off. A couple of times its done it twice before it reacts as normal. I'm using E5 fuel only. It doesn't do it when its warmed up. Anyone out who had the same problem and got it sorted. Regards.
