    Hi all, I’ve not ridden a motorcycle for over 30 years so I thought I’d get back into it. From Manchester.

    Hi Silver Fox 67,
    I don't mean to be rude or patronising or anything else to cause possible upset, but have you perhaps thought about a short refresher course?
    There is nothing wrong with this and it could easily be very beneficial?
    If you don't feel this is necessary fair enough, welcome to the forum in any case.

    Hi curly, and thanks for the advice I have been out quite a bit this summer I have also watched a lot of you tube too so I’ve followed quite a bit of advice from what I’ve seen. It’s one of them you never forget how to ride it’s just a lot more traffic on the road now to 30 odd years ago that’s pretty much the only difference really so you have to be a lot more aware

    Hi, does anyone know what all the sizes of tools you need for the t100 sockets torque wrench’s Allen key torx etc...
    Any info welcome
    Also I’m putting my bike away now for about 3 months I’ve topped tank and put stabiliser in trickle charging my battery wash waxed protected and all that.
    Is it ok to leave the engine oil as I’ve only done 1750 miles so I thought should be ok. Of anything I was going to do an oil and filter change in the spring when I start riding again any advice on this would be appreciated.
