X Max 250?

Half interested in getting rid of mine.
2008 about 20k mileage (it’s at work atm) heated grips. Good bike, ulez compliant, but I just don’t use it much anymore, last year it was either four hundred or six hundred miles on it (got a Honda c90 which I love). Probably want £1800

Damp was not an issue on that wall, only being supported by an outside crapper and barely attached to the house was the main issue

From bitter experience of a London Victorian terrace house’s kitchen the efficiency of a French drain may be compromised by you rear wall only having minimal footings (and possibly no damp course)
When the rear of our house was rebuilt with foundations we just went for a concrete plinth

That’s a shitter, it was horrible when my Kawasaki got stolen and that was a heap. Went through that not going to bother again mood but after a while decided I needed to have a bike and then “found “ mine parked up locally.

No idea on zoomer but (Stealth ad!! (No actual stealth though) I’m looking to offload my 250 Xmax - great town bike but my Honda C90 is a much more fun urban bike.

So my answer is buy a c90.

Thanks, I think I prefer it to that complicated one too. For some reason I’m not a fan of power reserve indicators.

Friday, off to pay an undertaker then I think it’s beer time

Not that I recall and I had it for quite a while. Think I traded it in for a Varedero eventually.

RTs are big lumps. Never had a RT but had an r1100rs and that was a very good bike. Fast enough, my quickest ever trip back from in laws in Devon to Wimbledon was on it, but still a comfortable tourer and mile muncher. Did Bilbao to Barcelona with the then gf on the back and return leg through the Pyrenees on it. Very underrated bikes.

Old skool Friday and sleepy cat here

The gym beater on this morning

The advantage on motorbikes is they are much bigger, faster and have a light on the front at all times

And they usually have a fucking loud horn on them which a lot of riders under-use in the urban environment. Not sure what a motorist is going to do? give them a really long parp on the horn and make the fuckers think a bit.

They probably asked the players where they’re “really from”.

Pair of twats get an appropriate welcome

I’m trying to convince him onto a smaller bike/ scooter .

What he needs is a low mileage 250cc yam scooter sold by another forumite (and KWCC member) in a really crap stealth ad, I reckon

Nice GS!

Old skool Breitling day here.

I raced one for a couple of years at HH. I went from an alloy Dolan to it.
It was light and good value at the time. I don’t recall it being overly flex but I was not a big strength rider being more of a spinner, nor was I any good! I am about 6’1” and was about 90kg so rode a large.
At the time it was a good value frame for a fairly crap middle aged racer. If you are aiming higher you may want to invest more. I did spend proportionately more on relatively decent wheels and tyres though.
I sold mine to a club mate and it may still be circulating HH. Overall it was a good frame for what I needed, if i was doing it again I’d consider one (or a steel colnago which is obviously loads more cash!!).

Went to the gym on Saturday, had quite a good session, pleased with equal current pb on bench press, and finished off with jumps from standing onto a 30” box. Did two sets no problem. Waiting for the wife to finish so decided to just do one more set even though I was a bit knackered; first one pulled something major and painful in my lower back on take off - fucker! Now in pain and off to physio later.

Happy Friday, just waiting to go out somewhere nice so best watch on

Knew Ireland didn’t but apparently;

European countries without mandatory RWT for motorcycles are Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, and Portugal.

(RWT = Road worthiness test.)

While you lot argue about Harleys, I’m over here like…

But I’ve already got an off road whip

Do it quick, before you're 40…

That boat is long gone!

That may be very true, I am having a very bad mid-life / late life period at present :)

I have had loads of different bikes (about twenty I think) but never a cruiser, difficult one.

. Not til old and fat though

Welcome to my life!!!

When we first viewed our house, a two bedroom Victorian terrace, it had about two thousand records and eight thousand books in it. Books were all art tomes and the records classical music. One of the downstairs rooms was a narrow sliver of space between books and every wall was shelved. The shelves were very well engineered so much so that the walls were wrecked after taking them down.
The vendors, it was a probate sale, started a small business selling all the books and records off.

I keep having this strange urge to buy a Harley sportster, never even ridden a HD but feel I ought to own one at least once. I have no interest in group rides and all that faux outlaw shit.
Is this a bad idea?

Desert sleds are very on trend atm, taken over from faux bobbers, so the prices are quite firm for them. Looks nice but can imagine it a bit of a lardy old beast off road
