TKC 80’s or TKC 70 Rocks?

Purely for aesthetics. I don’t ride off road, barely ever on gravel tracks, just want my bike to look cool. I’d have gone for the TKC 80 gen 2 but apparently they’re not making them in sizes needed. Opinions?

Oil pan screw broken.

So… like a muppet I managed to snap one of the oil pan screws by over tightening and wanted to know how easily a professional can remove what’s left of the screw in the crank case? Am I doomed to have an oil leak forever or is it pretty straightforward?

Water recycling (tumble dryer)

I was thinking of using the water from my condenser tumble dryer but worried that it might do more harm than good with the clothes being washed in antibacterial detergent. Does anyone use the water from their dryer tray?

First time overnight bike trip

So soon I’m hoping to go away for a few nights to the Isle of White on my bike. I’ll be staying at a hotel but wondered what essentials (bike wise) I’d need to take with me. I’ll be on a Yamaha XSR if that’s of any interest. My biggest concern is a puncture, I’ve got breakdown cover but anything I can take with me to get myself out of a potentially sticky situation would be of help.

Unstable roses

So this year my roses have done extremely well and I didn’t realise quite how tall some would get as they are relatively young. Without hindsight I didn’t stake or cage them and the wind this year is, well, windy! This, as well as the weight of the blooms has resulted in them trying to tip over and the root is visibly moving in strong winds on one plant. Other than one tie I’ve fixed to the wall to stop it from uprooting itself, is the anything unobtrusive I could use to support them now?

Learning to wheelie. How to go about it?

So, as we all know, wheelies are cool… so how do I go about learning safely? I vaguely remember an old friend of mine doing a class with other people to learn, is this something people have done or are you self taught?
