I'll give you a fiver to take it off your hands

Better to brake than eat gravel, don't you think Nick

Upping the hazard anticipation and riding accordingly minimised the risk. You can actually stop quite quickly with just the rear brake. I did have the back up of the front brake working again if I needed it. I assume 750+ miles riding in rain last week must have got enough crud in by the pistons of ...

Home okay after my right front caliper problem. Soon got used to only using the back brake, surprising how efficient stopping is with just the back. Front was working after it cooled down but I wanted to prove a point. Dazzer must follow me on the next ride to see rear only braking

A possibility is poor earth connection. There should be virtually no resistance between battery earth terminal, frame and engine. That engine earth lead is as important as the power side connections.

Ride out tomorrow - come and meet us.

Be good to catch up with you Steve. Aim is to leave the petrol station at 09.45, nice if you can be early enough for pulling away then. No problem though if you are a bit late, we'll wait....

Rik, can you do me a favour please. I believe a few SWB peeps don't check the forum regularly. Could you spread the word on whatever wassup chat groups peeps now use?

Phil apologies. First post duly amended.

AndyW - we'll pick you up at a usual point, Tiverton Morrisons petrol EX16 6SW at 10.00

It will be scorchio and I've been given a command by the oldest greyone to post a ride. Simple enough, have another go at the route planned and scratched on 2nd May:- sweaty runners mean change to starting point:- Morrisons Petrol Station, Kennedy Way, Tiverton EX16 6SW 09.30 for 09.45 https://maps....

Weather looks good for tomorrow - 21/05/26 - I, at last, have the opportunity and am up for it. Anyone else?

Recommendations for UK only breakdown cover please folks? Which company is least likely to leave me waiting hours on end should I need recovery?

Epic trip. When I stopped at the Cat & Fiddle - elevation 1689ft 515metres - 40+mph winds and raindrops the size of your head. A tad more comfy overlooking Ladybower reservoir. Winnats pass,just outside Castleton highly recommended.

Glad you had another good ride folks :-bd Might have made it if I'd seen the post earlier than Monday morning :roll: I'm now off to the Peaks for a few days. Riding up today via East Wales and the Marches, only motorway is up to the bridge - have waterproofs packed :mrgreen: https://maps.app.goo.gl/...
