    Lowering the fork legs in the triple clamp; how deep can I go?

    Why? Why would you want to raise the front? All you will be doing is to kick out the front wheel and it will start to handle like a chopper and push the front even more.

    Most comfortable ear plugs?

    Hello from Norway

    Hello and welcome! I have just got back from Kirkenes, no, not on my bike at this time of year, but it is on my bucket list! I actually travelled from Bergen to Kirkenes and back on the Hurtigruten, heartily recommended, Norway is such a beautiful, rugged and dramatic country.

    Hi everyone from Hungary.

    Hello and welcome SteveStephenson, whereabouts in Hungary are you? I worked there for a while, I stayed in Kecskemet and worked in Nagykoros, I really enjoyed it and met some lovely people there and drank quite a lot of perlinka too!

    Looking for your wisdom on panniers

    I had Givi Dolomiti cases on my old S10. They were simply brilliant! Well made, strong, good locks and completely leak free. Everything I wanted and needed from panniers. Mine were 35 litre both sides but other sizes were available, I also had the Dolomiti top box too 10/10

    New member from Poland ;)

    Dzien dobry, and welcome! Whereabouts are you in Poland? I worked there for a while and I have travelled there several times on my own XT1200Z, so I know the area around Szczecin and Goleniow pretty well but only very basic Polish language as I am sure you can tell!

    Never seen one of these before HONDA CTX1300

    Hi Rob, these were a stripped down, slightly sportier cruiser version of the Pan European ST1300, cracking bikes but they didn’t sell well. As the song say, “you just don’t know what you got until it’s gone”.
