ScottishPinz - I was quite pleased with the Fedima remoulds that were on the Pinz when I got it. When worn, I replaced them with 750 x 16 Chaco's (Radial) last year. Never had any issues with remoulds over the years. Great wet grip on the tarmac and equally important to me, they survive a lot of tri...

Dennis. Follow up to prev. posting re: did you get my PM's... I tried your email address as well and that came bouncing back ! All I wanted to know was the UK address you use for buying the reverse light switches. Can't see the logic in me buying one from your side of the pond, when it may have star...

Dennis. Sent you two PM's a couple of weeks ago re: this subject.

Once the gravy train is rolling, George W and Tony B.Liar will milk it for all it's worth.

Ghostbear has some very good points in his post !!

I experienced this last winter. Low mileage engine in good nick, very little oil consumption. In between monthly trips to a mountain bothy, only do short mileage "local" trips. Just happened to glance out of mirror to see a bonzoid cloud of oil smoke! Pulled up on the verge smartish. Revve...

Hi folks. 1st post so please be gentle. Like others, my tyres run on outer edges (especially the front). 80% of mileage on tarmac, mostly just driver and no load. Getting cheesed having to pay to get them reversed at regular intervals. Question: Would shortening the spring support bolts (710.1.54.37...
