Be helpful to get the views of an Admin or similar?…

I have seen forums like this split before, and they're never quite the same - you lose the years of topics and the reference material that makes forums so special.

I have been toying with the idea of approaching the admins to see if they'd consider handing the forum over, subject to it's running costs not being too mad. I work in IT, although I admit the phpBB would be a stretch for me. I'll mull it over. I think retaining the forum with it's topics is really important.

A 125/150 is good for at least 50,000 miles if properly maintained

Could be wrong, but I don’t recall either model designation here in the UK, but I’m sure Viper will correct me if I’m wrong?

I think they were in the UK, but don't seem to have been very popular at all.

I've used secondhand tyres on the car and the bikes. It's just what the budget dictates, which I'm uncomfortable with, but hey, that's the cost of living sometimes.

I have only owned three cars, but my first - the 2001 998cc Toyota Yaris I had was problem my favourite. Absolute simplicity, and saw 200K miles before we sold it on to buy something with 5 doors. It was a horrendous snot green colour

If you like the Duros, stick with them. I quite like those tyres.

I have learned over the last 15 years what tyres I do and don't like, and it doesn't necessarily align with what *should* be good.

An ex-racer friend of mine (he'd done the Manx, whatever that meant) swore by Maxxis towards the end of his riding career.

I guess the plastic kit for this is available. I looked at the article but can not remember where it's sold.
Valves adjustment ? I thought that you guys said with modern technology you don't need to worry about this.

I don't think they need doing all that often, but the valves on a PCX or a Yamaha NMAX are notoriously tricky to sort.

About all I do is think about getting another motorcycle.  The scooters have spoiled me with better MPG,  the storage under the seat, better weather protection. But then that Royal Enfield Classic 350 sure looks good to me.

Having ridden one and very nearly bought it at the dealership 6 months ago, I can confirm the Classic 350 is an absolutely storming ride.
