Re: Highlands & islands

Apparently you can do Hull-Brevik now with DFDS. I've not used this service, just spotted it on another forum a while back and mentally filed it away... http://www.adventurebikerider.com/media/kunena/attachments/1855/Ahoy%20There%20Details%20Norway%202011.doc" onclick="window.open(this.hr...

Re: Norway tips and pics

Harwich - Esbjerg is now the only ferry route to take tourist-type vehicles to Scandinavia from the UK. You could then do Hirtshals to Kristiansand to get to Norway. Usual story though - big cost = big time saving. (This year and in 2008 we whizzed thro the Chunnel and crossed from Denmark to Swede...

Re: Oil in Air filter box

Thanks for the help guys. It makes sense now, I had a garage give it a winter service and he changed the oil filter and oil as part of it. I then gave it to a friend to check over for the MOT and he spotted a smal oil leak. He found the previous guy and used the wrong oil and over-filled it. SO that...

Oil in Air filter box

Just getting all the little jobs sorted before we head back to Europe for our holidays, on Wednesday. After reading Tony's thread about the Air filter I decided to have a gander at mine. I found it very dirty and Oil in the pipe from the Carb and resting at the bottom of the filter box, in a little ...

Re: Not many short shifter kits left

Ditto what Gunslinger said, although I'm still in the tweaking stage.........I should have made a better job in marking the plate :cry:

I have all gears fine, my knuckles are starting to heal but its just a little tight going from 5th down. I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Many thanks SI, top bloke!

Seems you save an awful lot of mileage going via ferry. Just too expensive for my liking. I'd rather drive to Dover and save the cash :wink:

Re: Low volume hot water solution

Just installed a new way of getting hot water on tap :D It is a 3 litre pump pot, bought from a catering supplier, mounted on B pillar above sink. Fill it up with hot water before you leave home, and it's good for the first night's coffee, morning wash and breakfast. If you are in a campsite, top i...
