I am looking to test driving a Mito soon and it seems that in the North West I have a couple of options of dealer to buy from (if it comes to that) -one is in Knutsford and the other in Brighouse. Any views on which one to plump for? Read more
Not strictly motoring related but an amazing image of a street artist that has seemingly turned a street in Germany into a lava filled chasm.

I have checked the VSS and that seems to be ok the teeth on the cog looks ok does any one know what the problem could be ?
Any help would be good.

Hi we had the same problem of irratic speedo flicking between 0 and 220 km. Fitted a new speedo sensor, but now the speedo needle moves between 140km and 220km. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Can anyone recommend some stick on protectors for sills and the area inside the rear doors etc. These are already taking a bashing on my new car from handbag buckles, metal buttons shoes etc. Clear would be ok but something coloured would be better as it would hide the scratches already there. Thanks. Read more
Ah, but once you've got your stainless steel sill protectors you'll be worried about them getting scuffed and scratched, so back to square one!!
Hello, my name is Maxie and I am a final year student. If you have 5 to 10 minutes please have a look at the following link and complete the questionnaire for my dissertation. It would really help me a lot!!

Thanks for your time!!
(Since I have some experience of the marketing course Maxie is on, having helped another student with the same thing, I'm going to let this go, just as long as Maxie promises to to ever use or sell the results for any king of commercial gain. The post is read only.) Read more
Calling all Fireblade owners and in particular those of you owning models from RR4 onwards. There are reports on several other bike forums of galvanic corrosion (GC) occuring.
GC is caused by the reaction of magnesium in contact with an alloy or steel item such as a fastener when a catalyst such as salt water is introduced. Fireblade owners are begining to realise that the alloy sump plug is reacting with the magnesium sump causing the magnesium to be eaten away and in severe cases oil to leak serious consequences if not spotted in time.

if you click up your name where shown you will see your last few posts
Which is fine, unless you haven't posted recently, in which case you have to do a forum search. Not the end of the world, but shouldn't your recent posts also be accessible from 'my settings'?
I want this!!

I assume the one near Knutsford is Mangoletsi which is quite well known. Cannot comment on how good they are these days.
