Cheers mate, I have seen this site before, I don't see me getting the bikes into most of these places lol.... But it has given me some ideas

Riding bikes.

I would P/X the R1 for the Tiger and then buy a new R1 , simples (giggle) No can do.. Other half would know I had two new bikes that way.. At least if I get a new bike first then secretly get another black R1 she wouldn't have a clue.. But to part ex it for a new bike she would know ...

That sounds ideal - race bikes and eat stodgy food.

Cracking shots again Jack.

What's the natural light been like recently? Is it hard to judge when one minute it's bright sunlight and the next you've got a hailstorm coming in?

... they are "daawn souff" my doors always open and PLENTY of off street bike parking including enough space to fit at least another 2 or 3 bikes in the garage.

Not quite sure what i have here. The hubs are different to all the other 5 spoke Marchesinis i have seen.

I know there are not Magnesium.

Some of the later bikes 998R and S4R Monsters had lighter wheels/hubs still so i am hoping that is what these might be. Time to ask a few questions.

... that apart nice one Duke it will look amazing. Old wheels weigh a ton. Modern cast wheels are much lighter these days but old stuff like on our bikes was so over engineered. When I fitted dymags to the sp the weight saving was massive and they transformed the handling. I was really sceptical ...

virtually all my bikes have had one, ive just got used to it being there. like has been said i don't use it all the time just now & again.

The way those bikes dropped was frightening, there was no warning from what I could see.

Did you see the way Marquez's bike wobbled when he was fighting with Rossi? Cranked over, trying to regain his spot, bike bucking all over the place. What a talent.

I know some of the newer bikes have a gear indicator on the speedo cluster and theres the option to add one with a retro fit.

Those who have a bike that are equipped with them, are they useful and do you use them much ??

... we headed for London Town, for a little photo shoot in an urban setting, well any excuse for me to take pictures in different settings with the bikes. Here is just a sample of some of the shots I took, many experimental, as in all :D (giggle) , but as you know this is a new found passion of ...

Well I thought it was awesome all round. Yes Mel doesn't know bikes, yet WE all started at zero too remember? Yes, Cal didn't want to talk, yet it's Neil Hodgson FFS, he's a world champion and not afraid to get the answers we want to hear. Overall a great ...

Most cars and a growing set of bikes have data recorders built into their ECU these days for accident investigation anyway tbh, so the police can tell if they want to.

Shame he fell off both bikes....

Not too fussed about other bikes. Only my own. Everyday is a dream ride..just to and from work each day makes everyday life that bit more bearable.... Although the Alps and the Ring are my second playground

That's a good meet, bikes are just everywhere in town lol! May pop along with a mate again this year

... names, but essentially the same piece of kit. Cost effective maybe but I'm pretty sure it's not something the majority of people who ride bikes want. That's why we change every so often, or why I do . The styling on that thing is dreadful IMO, The Black crow more like the back row!!! But ...

... details from a biker friend. It looks like a good meet, and hopefully the weather would be good. I look at it like this, if there is sun, music, bikes, and burgers what more do you need (apart from some decent scenery of course ;))

How about a mid morning breakfast at that place you suggested? We can all meet up somewhere easy to find then you can take us off for brekkie. Afterwards we can have a couple of hours out on the bikes, tea and cake then make our way home.

How does that sound?

... week ago and the 690. I'd had the F3 for nearly 2 years and wanted to sell before I lost anymore on her. It saddened me greatly So I didn't want 2 bikes in the garage as one always gets ridden less than the other so decided to do a major cull and sell everything. Now I got the GSXR with the ideology ...
