Re: Ducati launching 9 new models for 2016

A little bit of silver tape over the 'Off Road Use Only' stamp and my main stealer is happy to pass a TOR 'zorst :D They're not allowed to remove it, and unless the zorst is obviously illegal ...

Re: Hi again

... Kids have settled well, we've only had a couple of "I want to go home" moments. Missus loves it as mum-in-law is 14 minutes down the road. And me? Well, compared to Norfolk the Internet is fan-frickin-tastic, I get 10Mb/s on regular broadband, not to mention super quick 4G mobile ...

... the track bike. Be interested to see the reviews these get. As its dry where you are. Personally I would go for the Racetec RR K3 which is a fast road tyre. One of the journos in Perfromance Bikes got 3500 miles and a few trackdays out of a set which is pretty impressive imo. http://www.med.it/photo/1415284265PH227.jpg ...

Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review

I'm happy to leave them as they are. I'm still getting used to them because the road conditions are varying so much. I prefer to have the tyres at a constant so I've one less thing to get used to as the weather and temps vary. At least as they stand I know how controlled ...

Re: The new improved fitness thread

Got out for a road run, so much better than the treadmill. Felt ok but took it easy on the ankle. I knew it was a warm day but when I got back I almost died and sat in the shower trying to cool down. Once is recovered I checked the weather app...

The combination of rain, road salt, diesel, cold roads and bags of torque mean that I'm getting some nice slides going in the morning.

Re: The Biking Friday Five

... of the 2016 new bikes would you like to own (no H2Rs or RC213Vs as they're not 2016) Not sure what's out for everyone, but I think it'd be an off road bike. 5) Have you ever thought about quitting biking? Yes. Not sure I really great it as a hobby anymore. But it saves so much time and agro commuting.
