found another way to save money. This might look odd, but there is no evidence whatsoever which has been published to say that wearing a bucket on your head is less safe than wearing an approved crash helmet. So it must be safe.

ps: I referenced you as "SIRE" as I can not think of you without the idea that you represent some part of a horse's anatomy So far I have seen a single 11 year old document. Clearly, I do not reside in your country but in most cases motor insurance is taken out for a year and then renewed after rev...

Interesting ... What say you Sire ? aka King Brett. This, or something similar is all I was asking for. However, the document is 11 years old and presumably relates to a machine no longer owned by 5m0k3y, judging by his list of current motorcycles. If you wish, I will draft a letter for you to send...

How does a tire maker void someone’s insurance?? It doesn't. If things continue the way they are, motorcycle tire makers will accommodate by switching over. Switch over to what, making handlebars out of spaghetti? If you’ve ever traveled to third world countries where the motor is the main conveyan...

Wingsconsin, I am here to help.

BUT --
That is a MOTORCYCLE TIRE -- ??

Using this somewhat warped logic, you would also fit a car tyre to your front motorcycle wheel.

This is a screenshot of a letter from Avon Tyres, part of Cooper Tire and Rubber Co. Austone Tyres were a brand owned by Cooper Tires until recently (although the brand is now part of Prinx-Chengsan of China). Austone was of course, a very popular car tyre used by Goldwing owners. The letter is self...

But y'all drive / ride on the wrong side of the road

Sir, we are not French!

your opinion on this is useless, we are NOT going to mess with asking if someone will approve it. Your response to this clearly indicates that you are unable to provide any proof to win your argument, preferring to offer mild insult. You clearly regard someone having an opinion which differs from y...

Not worth the time nor energy to work through this debate - The internet at large has myriad and major amounts of information on this subject - From those who have tried it - Yet no links. My challenge stands. Inform your insurance company that you have a tyre fitted to your machine which both the ...

Most of this is completely untrue. This specific question has been asked (and published) of MANY insurance companies links? Copies of letters? Articles from magazines etc? By the way, I never said that the tyre fitment was illegal, but that riding a machine uninsured or having failed a road worthin...

Not sure how warning people they are about to invalidate their insurance is in any way dangerous. It is certainly not as dangerous as fitting a car tyre to a motorcycle But I tell you what. Write to your insurance company and explain that you have fitted a motorcar tyre to your motorcycle, an act wh...

Irrespective of the advantageous claims made about using a car tyre on a motorcycle, this should not be done. I understand fully that the United States has a much more relaxed approach to road safety than in the UK, which may account in part, for the 75% greater number fatalities per 100,000 populat...

My glass is definitely half full. Sadly, at the moment, completely empty.

If your brain is not a tight fit in your skull, then presumably any blow to it, irrespective of whether a helmet is worn or not, can lead to the damage you describe. In fact, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is relatively common in old age, usually caused by trips and falls in the home. Of course, weari...

Perhaps you should get really outrageous and put on a tyre that is actually designed for a motorcycle.

You should try living here in England. Petrol costs the equivalent of $11 per US gallon.

I use these, useless for mending plastic but they taste wonderful

It is very early for such snow, is this normal? Rarely snows before Christmas here and we're at 53.6N

Looks a lot like a town hall to me.

Say goodbye to visor fogging forever!

Alas though, not to spectacles fogging.

I was less than diligent about checking the condition of my rear tire!!

I suspect a lot of us fall into that trap. The rear tyre isn't the easiest to examine properly. It necessitates getting down on the floor with a lamp. Even checking the pressure is a pain.

She looks splendid - not sure I am aloud to use such pronouns now! I don't suppose you kept a video vlog of your restoration? I really enjoy watching stuff like that on YouTube. It doesn't matter how poorly filmed or edited, they are usually much more entertaining than the 95% of drivel shown on tv ...

Klim! When I was very young, my father told me that the word klim was German for milk and it was easy to remember because klim is milk spelt backwards.. I believed him, for years. Klim is a well known brand of American dried milk and was well known to soldiers in the Second World War.

My boots are now over twenty years old and still performing well - Daytona.
