Interestingly though i know you've had/tried a few singles over the years Monty, whats you're opinion oh wonderful friend?

... the monies, so can afford to wait for the sunny days to arrive. Hmm, 690R sounds interesting, yet maybe too expensive to keep things within budget though. Hey , there maybe someone out there who's bought one and doesn't get on with it and is willing to take a hit second hand though... (rock) I ...

... theres an idea, Speed Triple.....Yet i did have one on lone when the fork seals went on my 675 and it's a big old beast, i'll put it on the list though fella!

Nice suggestion, i'll take a look, i hadn't though of that.

They do but they havent got a front paddock stand and they use a crane and strap to hoist the front.
I'm guessing its safe enough though

... levers too good to be true at that price? Anyone given them a try? I got some Chinese levers last year for the RSV, not the same as those ones though. They quality is OK, obviously not as good as the big manufacturers but good enough for me. I looked at it from the point of view that there ...

I recon it's all the extra calories in those gel packs causing the rear compress a bit more ;) Seriously though, could it have been related to the major compression at the bottom of hailwoods. Was nige a lot faster into the dip than last year. There's not many other tracks ...

Something suspricous about the circumstances of the crash though imo and that is what is being covered up as surely they should have a better idea on crash location. Apparently the current search area equates ...

Believe it or not but looking at my dairy only weekend available all year would be 27/28/29 June so not possible for me but good idea and would be interested next year.

Up for plenty of ride outs though.
