Re: 72 Reg V2 950 Ducati MultiStrada Travel For Sale Loads of Extras

Hi Bob. So sorry to hear of your injuries and the consequent end to your motorcycling activities. I bought your Triumph 1200 XRt from Chelmsford City Motorcycles, who were selling it on your behalf, in Jan 2021 and, 35,000 miles later, it is still going really well. My best wishes for 2023!! John Mu...

Re: First European trip

Have a great trip, it sounds well thought-out. Only advice I can provide is to remember filtering is illegal in Germany.

Re: Any computer experts out there?

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a couple of things to try that I found via the web, if they don't do the trick I may be in touch.

Daughter, of course, has no recollection of what she used (it's over 10 years ago) so I fall at the first fence. Does anybod...

Re: New Textile suit required

If the waterproofing membrane is Gore-Tex I believe that is usually covered by a 10-year warranty, there may be benefit in persuing that? As for a replacement suit I would recommend talking to the folk at Motolegends in Guildford. They a...
