they aren't linking you with fb, they are selling your info on your phone to fb advertisers.

So that they can target you more effectively for adverts on facebook.

I'm happy with whatsapp still.
Also they can't link me with facebook as I'm not on it.

Love it!
Watched 2 and will be going back for more.
I think the commentators are better than the actual fight.

are you using nitromors or diy store paint stripper ? I have noy used this but am told it is lethal to most paints https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heavy-Duty-Industrial-Strength-Synstryp-1-Litre-Paint-Stripper-1L/202374029201?hash=item2f1e6e9f91:g:EmgAAOSwaTtdvWAo I have used that (or something very sim...

Is there any need to go all the way back to bare metal if you're going to repaint anyway?

What headlight is that Mark?

I also had an MTX125 just like that.. and then 4 years later an MTX200.. which was nice, and of course I should have kept it!
Actually I'd like all of my old bikes back...

Good luck with the bike search anyway.

Honestly I just couldn't be arsed with it, even if it was benificial. Just change the bike more often.. lol - I tend to hold on to my bikes longer. But the issue is you almost need to release the tension off the forks to rotate otherwise could twist the springs internally. Good point.. although I g...

I've often pondered this... Would it be beneficial to periodically rotate your forks in the stations, say 90 deg every few thousand miles? I'm thinking it might help to spread the wear around the bushing faces rather than it just being predominately all in one place. Go on then... let rip at me.. :)):

When playing hard I tend to shift it back into rain mode. Slacker throttle response and dialled down bhp. This was can actually ride the bike harder without it wanting to bite. Which makes me think that I couldn't use the bike to it's full potential unless on a road I really knew or a track. Funny ...

Just over 1 year to go then, until you are MOT exempt anyway, and tax for that matter.

A random 1,I'm for sure not the only person on here that has a project bike in the shed/garage on the go ..how do you guys/girls insure it or do you just have it covered under contents insurance? I just had a thought as it's now very easy to push out and not in boxes anymore I would look into class...
