Handy French government petrol prices website, that’s also good at finding where they are.

Weirdly, the government site seems to omit Supermarket filling stations altogether for areas I know well, whilst Google maps shows them with current fuel prices.

Excellent idea. Glad I thought of it...

So, what is your 'scope? Is it a dedicated one or some sort of app-based thingummy? We should all have one anyway.

...and with scopes costing peanuts these days I wonder why we don't all have one.

What were your results or were you just playing?

K1200 / K1300 Forum / Re: K1200s instrument cluster issue
« on: May 11, 2024, 10:06:18 am »
The displays are different for sure but as to whether the cluster will fit and work is anyone's guess unless Martin fancies stripping both his 12 and 13 down to give it a go.

The rubber button on the dash is the most fiddly thing on god's little green earth on the K13, from memory the switchgear on the 12 was less so.

I can't remember off-hand the sequence for the trip zero'ing on the 12 but I would make sure that you are pressing the thing properly as mine (a 13) really doesn't respond to a gentle touch.

The gauge is a well-worn problem but my first job would be to check the connector to the pump to make sure it is seated properly and there are no chafes on the wiring.

The black forks are definitely an improvement on the red one and strangely the silver seems to go with the black better. Who knew?

You can buy the crash bung plastic bits separately and just keep the mounting hardware.

Ah, I didn't know that Brian, I'll investigate.

I say 'is', I should say 'was' back in 2013'ish.

That looks well impish in all red. You rarely notice the little horns on the black one but they stand out like, well, impish horns on the red one. Looks like a totally different bike.

I'd call that a result Rae, especially given the circumstances.

The answer is that YOU stand by the tap so YOU can turn off the water when YOU want.

It's not as much fun but it depends on the state of the relationship whether that matters.

Special challenge:
- Click on image to spot the K oddity

That'll be the rather non-standard seat on the Motorsport. Did you get that off a cruiser?

You'll need to look a little harder to spot the real oddity...

I'm sure it is the warm weather that gets everything working better; my fan cuts in just before it gets to 5 bars while stationary but it now runs all day at 3 bars with the occasional 4 showing, my vision has stayed steady at one road ahead and having found a great riverside pub with even greater food today was almost too good to be true.

Yes. I am not normally given to touchy-feely emotion but this has been quite stressful and their genuine concern had my bottom lip trembling at times.

As for cost, although they are not a discounter, they do have a price-match, or rather price-beat guarantee where they will beat any UK discounted price on like-for-like items by 10% even after purchase for 14days. And they claim this applies even to internet sellers deals. I was a bit miffed because C5 sellers were at war on the day with prices down to £408. Of course, there were no deals on the Neotec and I think there might be restrictions on Motolegends price-beat deal if you buy through the PFS scheme. Can't remember.

Hi Phillipe,

I spoke to my optician about this because wearing moulded in-ear monitors can have weird side effects. As she said, if I were suffering any other symptoms such as headaches, dizziness or balance problems then that would be a next step.

Hi David,

I am definitely still keeping my appointment at the hospital mainly because this problem just came out of the blue. Nothing (anyone can think of) changed from one ride to the next and I'm sure the specialists in the eye department will be the first to suggest other possible root causes.

Speaking of in-ear monitors, I'm not sure it is even possible with the Sena for the Neotec 3 as part of the internal wiring loom shares the boom mic wire and the right speaker wire whereas in the C5 these are in separate looms. C'est La vie.

Surely, and I know you all know this, you NEVER ride line astern, especially in towns and at low speed because you just do not have any manoeuvering capability when it goes tits up and it always will at some point. End of lecture.
