... all methods I would refrain if possible from having anything on my back. Rather have US20 tail pack plus us10 on the tank.. Fully packed rucksack even over days riding in warm climate wears thin after a while.. Especially seeing mates without enjoying the breeze and not leant over tank counter ...

... repaired it and sent it back to me within a week for the princely sum of zero pounds. Not sure if they're trying to tell me something but they even sent me a bottle of Nikwax leather cleaner for nothing! Seriously good customer services and great gloves (handroids). Thank you Knox! (allhail)

Even tempted me to look at Panigales again.

... a complete waste of money imo. It's a complete lottery if you get a good instructor or just another quick rider who can't teach or be bothered to even try and teach in my experience. I would get on a trackday personal Itchy. Mallory is near you, small and easy to learn and being with friends who ...

... had tried to kill him so far. But hindsight is a wonderful thing, I just wanted to get out and ride. Ride on those wonderful Peak District roads. Even those stupid West Yorkshire roads! But since I don't really believe in fate or destiny, I need to look at and evaluate why I came off, and what ...

... take might Drs or spares as i know the people that work there. Went to Drs today. Made my bracket out of a metal ruler sprayed it black haha can't even tell. Passed with flying colours. Haven't being on road for ages come off slip rd near brough onto a 63 with that quickshifter on cars just come ...

Bad news before it even gets properly underway :( Further statement from Billown - some very sad news:- Following an incident at Billown Dip during the 850cc Classic Practice on Friday evening, involving two competitors and two course ...

I like that - makes a smart bike even smarter IMO.

Filled it up with diesel by mistake, even worse I was on the way to silverstone for the Ducati day. What a complete KNOB (facepalm) (facepalm) My only excuse was it was 5.30 am , eventually got back home by the AA, tank off drained the system ...

... a 2 ton chipper on the back up a steep muddy field. Very impressed with them and they've been great on the road as well. No noticeable tyre noise even on the motorway and my mpg didn't go down. http://generaltire.com/tires/light-truck-crossover-suv/grabber-at2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return ...

... throw the zx6r in the canal. Surely there's something more fun to commute on, you'd be bored of it in a week.

At one point I 'overtook' 6 cars by using the first lane... If people drove correctly that just shouldn't happen!!

It isn't even like I drive in rush hour, this is at 6.30 in the morning for crying out loud

What???? The Spice Girls were trollops....even the decent one lost all credibility when she married Eddie Murphy and went on the "Eat All That You Can Eat" Diet.

I use Wurth Dry chain lube and get excellent mileage from chains and never get an fling off even if I lube just before a ride. From all the good reports I read, I really should try that stuff Blade. My current can is about empty iirc, so I think I'll invest in a can ...

I'd agree with that, even Pirelli openly state that while the SCs are street legal the carcass is not really designed for road use. I loved them on the road though, like snot on a blanket. If I did more than one or two track days a year I'd buy cheap take offs and leave them on.

... In the right gear and in the right rev range it was fantastic it felt like just the right amount if power surging forward with not much drama. I eventually took the bike back to the dealers and was quite smitten with it. It may not be the prettiest bike and it did feel a little tired (even with ...

I've spoken to about 5 different suppliers and non of them can find or even identify an EK 520 MVXL chain link. Must be an OEM part number.

So I thought feck it and bought a new chain and sprocket kit. Gone for a Tsubaki X-ring chain and -1 front and +1 rear Renthal sprockets.

A lot of the wives around here have kicked off about the fact that it's being held on Fathers Day, so 99% of the fathers can't even be with their family! I knew I should have joined the RAF, sounds like the perfect fathers day to me. ...being around men? LOL no not really. Said tongue ...
