Re: OIL CHANGE FREQUENCY

Pointless unless the bike doesn't get properly hot when it does get used, if it gets hot you're driving out the moisture, and other than oil getting degraded through engine use its one of the only ways oil can get degraded.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

... during the trackday as well. (rain) (gah) It struck me that were I to drop the bike on someone else's oil etc I'd be in the deep & smelly for getting home. Hence I always used a van or trailer after that - just in case. I've also been to plenty of trackdays where there's been a tannoy announcement ...

... the bike, you're happy to do the changes and you can afford to do them, so I don't see why you shouldn't do it once a year. Have you thought about getting a discount and buying a larger container of oil? http://www.aidlubricants.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; are ...

Re: What are you doing today ??

... these days. It seems that the CBR600rr does hold its price. Low mileage 2005 models are around £4k. I guess the build quality means you're still getting a bike in good condition, despite the age and the lack of updates means that the bikes from the last 10 years aren't that different .

Re: Textile trousers

Thanks.

I've got a light rain jacket I can put over my leathers, but the problem is taking a shirt to work rather than wearing one underneath my jacket. Plus leathers aren't that warm. I'm getting old and need my creature comforts.

Re: Textile trousers

I've got a waterproof Alpinestar motocross jacket I wear over my leathers, might be worth getting one as a short term fix. Think they only cost around 30 to 40 quid.

Re: Wales ride 24/25th Sept
