Re: As the decade ends ...

Given that I've only been biking for 11 years and I've only had 2 bikes in that time, this should be easy. The Z1000 is a better bike in almost every respect and it's lasted me 7 years with zero problems. I love it. But the Daytona 600 was my first, my exploratory companion as I entered the wonderf...

Re: As the decade ends ...

Yep. Someone on his R1 over took a car on the motorway at warp speed. Guess who was driving the car? :D :D Rick got in touch with me and I sorted him out with a local solicitor who got him an excellent result. Who overtakes a cop at speed? Honestly...... (mm) (wasntme) Hehe... Long story. But lets ...

Re: As the decade ends ...

Hmm tough..very tough.. I really loved the tiger 800XC and the XCA of late.. However the Cross Plane R1 (2010). Which I had for 5 years and up to 85,000 miles from zero.. is the winner. Never let me down. Thrashed, tracked and crashed..and even got me a ban.. [emoji2960] Toured over Europe multiple ...

Re: Pre Winter treatment

That's impressive, the XR doesn't look that good when it's cleaned up. What kind of compressor/nozzle are you using? Does it give a fine mist spray?

Re: Pre Winter treatment

Has been used everyday about 2,600 miles and caked in crud.. again looks forecourt finish.. drawback is it looks shite once dirt collects on the grease and ACF. But at least I know by next summer it will look nice for the sunshine https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191209/a2a59b8254e4c88a18090f2c65f...

Re: Pre Winter treatment

i looked at the pics, and wondered why the bike in the "before" pic looked so clean. LoL. mine seems to get worse than that in a week. Must be the muddy fields and developments leaving crap on the roads by me. I just coated my bike in XCP rust blocker to see how I get on with it. How did ...

Re: Pre Winter treatment

Yeah I was worried leaving it for two months.. thinking what rust is getting worse that I can't see.

But was pleasantly surprised.
