Re: Moving up to a bigger bike, advice needed.
... which isn't too far from you I think. I would have a look at something like the er-6. Nice bike, much quicker than a 125, easy to use and very road friendly. Any of the Honda CBR600s would be good as well. Hong Kong is just a few hours away. I regularly visit there. I'm going to take a look ...

Re: What are you eating ??
I had kangaroo over Christmas. Unimpressed tbh. Not worth it over beef IMO.
We have an ostrich farm up the road so that will get a visit during the year. I'd like to try it.

Re: Going Bareback
I've done 145 on my speed triple (on a private road) and the wind blast wasn't too bad with the cowl. What I did find annoying was that my rucksack was a bit loose and like wearing a parachute. I am much happier on my speed triple than I was on ...

Off roading / Trails
Hiya chaps.. Anyone into trail riding off roading? Just wondering if there are 'free public off road bike routes' that you can just rock up and ride. No club member or fees. I am guessing these will be shared with pedestrians/horse riders and ...

Re: Weekend plans
... Will be going to see my mum and the mother-in-law, and hopefully meeting up with someone to pick up a scrubbed rear to get the bike back on the road until the M7's are available. The evening will be switching the site over to work on it's correct domain and do a bit of admin on the server.

Re: Weirdy weather...
A very large tree had to be cut down at the end of the road where I live. I presume word got out amongst the wood burning stove community. For the new few hours loads of people were parking up and taking the wood they had chopped up.

ZZR1400 good touring tyres
Mr BB has the ZZR and the first road trip is in May to Scotland . The rear tyre could probably do with replacing.
Does anyone have any good examples for a good set of tyres for this purpose
