I just come back from a week in France, my first Trip on my own and a few mishaps. But I will mention the main one as I thought I was a switched on type of guy.
All my stuff was in a bum bag on the front of me zipped up and secure. Anyway I got onto a shuttle bus and noticed to young girls that looked not really old enough to be up to no good. The one touched my hand a few times, I was holding the grab rail on the bus etc. This I thought was odd but as it was happening I latter found out my wallet was being taken.
Money,I will only take enough for that day
Cards I will leave a spare back at base etc
Be aware in tight spaces as this is where it happens.
The bigger the attraction, the more of a risk.
It's common very common and on the increase.
I realise this is only suitable if you have based yourself somewhere.
Take a spare phob my phob started playing up and I realised the spare ain't a lot of good in the house.
Hope this helps

Hi I'm still not sure, want to get the one that would look and suit the bike. I will ring them and get some advice I think. Can you guess I cannot make a decision.

Do people leave that key in the ignition when the bike is left etc. I thought you just took the the fob with you. Must admit it all seems a crap system.

Thanks for all the help guys, I got a good 023 on the back and really fancied putting a PR 3 on the front. I don't want to change a pair.

Hi guys, been out the garage cleaning and polishing and need to get a new front tyre. On the back is a good Bridgestone 023. What can I put on the front, as it got to be the same or can I put another make on.

Thanks for all your help guys, I'm going to stick with it as I don't think the dealer tried to pull one over, more like I should have done my home work. I paid £7995 for it but got £4500 for my old pan 04 bog standard which was a lot more than what others offered. It's got 12k on the clock and does look lovely, really looking forward to using it.

Hi guys been looking through the forum and have noticed my 2011 bike is a ZG1400A9F. Which looks like a 2009 model. I'm slightly pissed off because I never spotted this on purchase from a dealer. Have I got any reason to gripe ?

The price hurts but I look at it as a day out on a winters day. The bit that pisses me off is myself and daughter had a meal in spoons outside the show and it was £25 for us both. It's not the cost it was the concentration camp portions, I really did feel like throwing it back at them but didn't want to play up in front of my daughter

Thanks for all the reply's guys, scorpion cans have not been mentioned and I've noticed some nice ones on flea bay for sale.
Really looking forward to getting out when the weather brakes.

Hi guys I was blasting down the M5 the other week on my 04 pan thinking why am I getting rid of this lovely old girl. Any way on the way back up on my 11 plate GTR I could see a fitter young filly, more fun,sexier and pleasing to the eye.
Thinking about a different exhaust but I don't dislike what's on there, are there any recommendations, and is there any difference in performance if I bother.
