Re: High millage bikes

The track bike has never been road legal, and if it was a hire bike in a former life then it's spent must of it's life in 20 minute sprints bouncing of the limiter. I'm no professional, ...

High millage bikes

... make me giggle when people prattle on about bikes mileage getting a but high when it starts hitting 20k or so.

Ducati launching 9 new models for 2016

Re: Chicken Strips

Since reading the post last night I think he is keeping them, seems to have started the ball rolling in error... every day is a school day.

Re: Helmets

The AGV Corsa, like mine , is the more road-orientated version of the Pista, Blade.

They don't do a carbon version though.
