Re: Bike Theft
even if you didnt want physical contact with them you could at least say " ive rung the police and they are on their way" that would do enough to unsettle them.Pikey scum

Re: 1299s or 1199R
Given the two bikes....whichever one pulls at the heartstrings...a bike is a very personal choice....it's like telling someone their favourite meal is wrong, there's just no accounting for taste...and I mean that in a good way, as Americans epitomize the very term "good taste".

Re: 1299s or 1199R
If it was me it would be the 1299 all day long, I honestly found the 1199 way too difficult control/manage especially on our lovely roads and it was a Brutal bike. I believe the 1299 is a more refined ride, oh and I loved the up & downshift QS with auto blipper .

Front end knock
After mine and Kwacky's short flight and subsequent hard landing my bike has developed a knock when I brake. Could be the pads moving in the callipers but thinking the headstock bearing might need adjusting.
Anyone know a way of testing the bearings without lifting the front wheel off the ground?

Re: The new improved fitness thread
1 hour? Bloody hell. Before I started getting headaches I used to do no more than 30 minutes and that would batter me.
Great way to get into shape though.

Jet washed and cleaned the Multi thoroughly after getting caught in the rain last week on the way back from Silverstone. Lovely washing the bike in the glorious sunshine yesterday.

Rode it down to Prescott, then up a Hill twice and then home. On the way home gave a couple of Gixxer boys a bloody nose as they thought their Hayabusa and GSXR1000 would be much quicker away from the lights than my 'touring' bike. Pushed their way to the ...

Re: Weekend plans
Chilling tonight.
Tomorrow will be very weather dependant. I want to get the wheels back on the RSV. Once that is done I can move it out the way and get on with destroying the garden.
Sunday will hopefully be a 10 mile run followed by some family time.

This way, I can keep the 14k discs for wet weather (sintered pads) and use the brembos for dry weather (dual carbon pads). Essentially I'm looking for permission ...

Re: Oulton Park 2016
You and the bike looked spot on out there Andy. Really fast and smooth the bike looked settled and the way it was wearing that supercorsa looked spot on. Thanks for the banter it was a good excuse to get out on the bike and took the twisty way home.

Re: Getting rid of old stock
It would make a cracking track bike IMO with all the ohlins and brembo stuff added to it but you're right - WAY too much money for what is very old and outdated
