I use a heavily tabbed browser with often 10+ sites open at once . The PC is left on overnight in sleep mode and many times the following day I'll wake the PC up and on checking this site I'll find an interesting post from someone which possibly has few if any responses and I'll decide to...

Seeing as many of us are getting on a bit and have various health and weight issues I thought it might be useful to start a dedicated thread to keep us abreast of current developments in our understanding of Nutrition and how it effects our general Health. I also thought it could be somewhere...

So....once again Skull650 has taken one of my threads off topic so that he can have a go and be his usual obnoxious insulting self. I'm going to abandon this thread before it turns into his private slanging match well now that my classic car is sold I have some spare cash burning a hole in my...

I am not and never will be a gambler . I cannot recall a single occasion in 68 years that I have gambled ,with the exception of a couple of Lotto bets once but this guys win is seriously making me think about starting...

at a mere 240 lbs I guess I qualify as a 'heavier rider' ...:( So a question for all you heavy riders out there ...what tyre pressures do you use and recommend for mostly sub 70mph riding on dry road surfaces? Most of my riding is on very windy twisty Country roads where sharp turns are often...
