Anyone keen for a swap?

As I have swapped my ADV bike for a road touring bike, I am still left with some ADV gear and no road gear, so was wandering if anyone would be interested in swapping their road Jacket and pants for my ADV jacket and pants.

I have DriRider Adventure series jacket (very warm with waterproof and winter insert) as well as pair of Neo ADV pants with winter inserts. Both warm and dry and in mint condition. I am looking for Jacket and pants set which will be suitable more for road / touring riding.

I am 6ft 2 and around 90kg. So if anyone out there is going the other way and wants to swap, then PM me.

Royal Enfield to Buy Ducati ?

Modern 250s vs 80/90's 250s

There are some similar threads already on this topic, but nothing at answers my question, so I've started this one.
I'm looking at buying a new 250 sport bike at the moment, but have only previously ridden trail/duel purpose bikes before so I'm new to sport bikes.


So anyway I've read quite a bit about the older 4 cylinder bikes 250s like the cbr250rr and gsxr250 and they sound like a lot of fun and have a bit of character to them.
Also they are getting quite old now, 20-30 years old and parts can be rare to source.

Then there are the newer 250s like the 1 cylinder cbr250 and ninja 250, which I've read are gutless things compared to the older bikes mentioned above and people seem to get tired of them quickly.
However they are obviously newer, more parts on hand and easier to find in good condition.


It would be good if i get some opinions on what a better buy would be. I'm already leaning towards an older bike, but would I be foolish to buy a more fun bike that could have/develop issues over
a newer less exciting bike?

A question from my son

We all know that Dads know everything - yeah right.

Joshua asked a question I could not answer.

"Are there any bikes that have a hazard light switch like the one you find in a car?"

My guess was that maybe BMW or Harley - but I said I'd put it to the experts...
