I might need your help in the Summer to get that one to be allowed.

Here are some better photos of the spec.

I was thinking about this yesterday as I already lock my car keys in a metal box as keyless systems are so bloody stupid they are a waste of time, however I was at the Triumph dealer yesterday and looking at how they deal with security. They don't - all the bikes have their keys in them all the tim...

If they are they're fantastic in the dry but I'm not keen on them in the wet.

Yeah, thats what i understand. I'll have to wear them out then.

Dunlop 222 I think the number represents how many times the tyres will slip during a ride home. :D OEM fit tyres are never as good or grippy as the tyres you buy after IMO. I've never had a set of tyres on a newer bike (or test bike) i liked. Might be psychological but i'm happier with new rubber. ...

I'm starting to get pissed off with the tyres. They're unpredictable and very inconsistent. If Im losing confidence in them it's time to get shot. I've asked for prices on the Z8 and the M7rr. I suspect that the Z8s will be better for the riding I do on this bike. I can't afford them until the end ...

Lugguage rack! crap! that just reminded me I was suppose to check out the size of my old daytona one for you. Was that for the RC8 or Jane's bike?? If its for the 600 I can still measure t up for you... sorry :D Dont worry I've contacted Ventura to see if they have designed one yet for it as it's n...

For gods sake people

Good luck - i'm sure you'll do well!

Quick List of what I'm going to buy initially :D Waterproof GPS mount for car satnav - I'm going to retire my old Zumo 550 as this bike has a USB port Radiator Guard Luggage rack (of some sort - no rush) Tank pads - something like shark skin or stomp grip. I think the tank is identical to the 675. C...

Tailgaters at junctions. I'm on a main road, there's a car in the other lane, waiting to turn right. I slow and flash my lights so he can turn. I've timed the run so I don't have to slow too much. As he turns the woman in the car behind decides to ride up his arse and turn at the same time. I have ...
