A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
Yes that is 'part' of the best way of handling cross winds.
If you are holding on with your knees and handle bars 'counter steering' makes everything worse.
As has been said, RELAX, let your windward knee 'flap' as it wants - think of why riders on a circuit hang their knees out. It help to...
I can substantiate that it works when I fell off with the bike stationary (wrong gear, turning right, stall, followed by embarrassment as I was on my back waving my arms and legs, hence the name!). I had one off at very low speed trying to stop being 'T' boned by a lunatic. Again it worked, no...
It isn't a high performance engine so the cheapest you can find will be OK. Still if you want you can use an occasional tank of a 'premium' petrol to see if you feel any difference. Not worth using the Premium grade though.
Sorry to hear about your accident, especially as it wasn't your fault. Sadly we more mature riders take longer to heal, but I'm delighted that you are keen to get back on a bike. While I hope I don't have a similar experience I know one day I'll have to 'downsize', but unlike you I'm not a fan...
I've only owned one - Yamaha 250 Majesty - when I couldn't hold up a bike. It helped me back into biking as I recovered my health, but it reminded me why I was a rocker and not a Mod....
Nothing to hold with your knees, crude suspension, poor visibility, wrecked my back (can't take the weight...
Looks an excellent piece of kit - and you certainly have empty roads and beautiful scenery! Some of the STOP signs were very unusual when compared with this country - which might explain a certain reluctance to stop?
Interesting - I like the bit at the end
"The Race helmet has been prioritized for safety, aerodynamics, wear comfort, visibility and ventilation."
I thought that was the aim of every helmet!
Sorry - didn't see this query until 'wandering' around this site!
Look at Altberg Bootmakers manufacture hiking boots & walking boots for hill walking also Military boots, Police boots and motorcycle boots for operational use worldwide
Come to think of it the stop lamp was an extra on my 1964 Velocette Vogue - but it came with a centre stand...
And of course we didn't have wing mirrors, but the thought of buying a bike without a kick start was as daft as buying a car without a starting handle.....
It is only a bit of iron work - its price as an 'extra' is ridiculous! I can't think of a bike in the last 50+ years I've owned that didn't have one fitted as standard. The idea that the design is so bad that it would have you off when riding 'enthusiastically' is again surely ridiculous...
