Greasy Stuff...
« on: November 23, 2025, 19:09:59 »
Am I just missing it, or do we not have a 'Mechanics Corner' around here for all things bent/broken/buggered or just stuff pertaining to 'doing' things to our bikes? Also, somewhere to complain about our bikes & so on...

I agree that it would be a positive step and it may tidy the sight site a little but at the same time, all of those subjects are mentioned on the sight site already. Just my humble opinion.  :thumb:

I'm guessing you've seen the oily rag, vstrom specific and Brocketts corner the moaning old git thread?

As Rusty says,- the Oily Rag section covers the mechanical and the Moaning old git section is, well, somewhere to moan  :thumb:

*I moved this post to the relevant section, I am now off to the Moaning old git section to moan about that  :smirk:

Yeah, I was thinking of something else under the Oily Rag header. None of the subs under it made sense for what I wanted.
So I've had my rant/question in the moaning gits thread...
