Just got my Monday night Moto GP fix, what an interesting start to the season.
I can't keep thinking to myself " red bikes give you wings" lol.... Oh wait or is that bull....

Good race, seems to be over in a flash, I do miss being able to watch the whole thing and Moto 2 in full

Took the 748 out for a first shakedown run of the Spring. Didn't go too far just enough to blow a few cobwebs away, take a few photos and test out the Corse rearsets. Loads of bikes out today.

Went to the Thames Valley Advanced Motorcycle group for the free IAM Observed Run out. Saw a few people I already know, including Rossgo. Busy with bikes, they have over 950 members and I think they were all there lol. Got paired up with my Observer, nice fella, went on plenty of roads I know, and ...

Arrrhh no track bikes wanted to shake down the zx6

First track day of the year booked. It's the full GP circuit. 98db limit. £139. It's with No Limits and it's their Road Only Bikes day. No track bikes, no speed heroes and no tyre warmers. http://nolimitstrackdays.com/events-list.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return ...

I don't know....it all comes down to some very indefinable factors....at least for me. We ramble on all day long about how powerful and fast our bikes are, and maybe how much faster we'd like them to be etc.....yet I see very many threads or posts about how quickly a bike can stop.....I've said ...

... boring tbh. Do bears sh!t in the woods? No they've not gone anti bike, the council are trying to impose a 50p parking charge for both cars and bikes. It's currently free for everyone but the local Polite bunch have gone bananas about it. I don't see the issue but then I lived in London for ...

... false; Thought I'd give this link to everyone. I can't think who has the CBR600RR which is hardly used but may be of interest. Basically Fast Bikes wants one to test ride for their article (I guess) think they will have it for a day or so. Thought it would be interesting

... were really mixed with pot holes everywhere , farmers leaving mud trails down the road and still a lot of salt about I was not going to push the bikes handling capability so will save that for another day. However I will go to bed dreaming that I'm holding on to a bucking bronco with Mr Scott ...

... for her 1st trip to see the planes take off and land at Stratford airfield.She loved it and really enjoys the s2k roof down Nice day loads of bikes out mostly Harley's and millions of mammils littering the roads

... relation to the footpeg. Ish. The length of the linkage rod dictates the angle of the foot lever and gearbox actuation lever to that rod, on some bikes if the angles are not at or near 90° It doesn't transfer enough leverage or travel to make the gear change, it's especially crucial to get the ...

... but I can't see the point of Kawasaki going to the trouble of building the H2 and not use what they've learned. It makes sense to get more road bikes using the supercharger.

Not my bike but there must be some amazing roads around these parts. Last night I was out on the balcony and listening to bikes and some beasty sounding cars around us, it sounded amazing . This morning I have seen and heard handful of bikers out and saw 2 together (what looked like ...

Iirc it's to do with ethanol, there's a lot of cars and bikes that can't use fuel with that as a constituent and yes it's playing hell with tanks on old bikes.

... of the blame will inevitably end up being the result of human ego....although that can never be proven.....we all have our comfort zones on our bikes for instance, and we expand them slowly. gradually pushing our own envelop until it either expands. or breaks....this guy will ultimately be found ...

... etc... Spare wheels if needed (wets) which I did take to Jerez and use ha ha. Best to go with smaller bags easier to fit into spaces between the bikes, the first year I took one of those large bags to carry everything, to difficult to transport especially when the Lorry is loaded to the limit. ...

... to put back on come selling time. I also want to do Oulton a few times this year and while no one intends to drop their bike I've seen enough bikes in the pits there with serious gravel rash to know that it is a possibility!

Well at least our bikes are different colours

The zx6r still has the stock master cylinder on it, as does the SX. Both bikes have had braided lines put on and both use the MRR Bendix pads. I did change the fluid reservoir on the SX but I'm not too keen on the rubber hose I've used and the lay out. The problem ...
