Re: Suggestions? Help?
... reckon (which has M5's on it). They also seem to tip in faster? Its a great bike this CBR600rr (2005) - i haven't ridden it much at all in the 10 years we have had it now, but frankly its better than my RC8 in everything apart from power. I've thought that for a little while, but riding them both ...

TT 2016 - discuss...
I thought it worth starting a thread for the TT this year as its only a week away. I love it. I've missed going for a few years but will still follow it on Manx radio live and on itv. Anyone who hasn't been needs to go at least once. What's everyone ...

Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review
I appreciate the "it's boring" argument but commuting is boring. There's very little I can do to make it interesting. For 60% of the year it's dusk or dark when I ride. I reckon 40% of the time it's raining and/or cold, so all I want to do is get into work or get home, as quick as I ...

... targets are - HND and Degree were mentioned and agreed upon. I'm over the moon to be honest as I've been pretty stressed out since the new year for various reasons and it finally seems to have subsided. I'm sure I'll update you guys when I start the new job anyway :)

However with the issues in Almeria this year I got to ride both Jakes and Neil's 750's wow!! I mean wow, what a difference they do make, so much more torque, you really feel it out of corners ...

Re: the tyre thread
I'd agree with that, even Pirelli openly state that while the SCs are street legal the carcass is not really designed for road use. I loved them on the road though, like snot on a blanket. If I did more than one or two track days a year I'd buy cheap take offs and leave them on.

Re: Suzuki Gsxr750 test ride
When I had a little look at the 750 last year there were some stupidly good deals if you'd take a less popular colour, there were loads available. It always reviews well too. If they are saying there are none left is there a new one on the way?

Re: Chain soft links
Yep, nothing in the diary yet but will be doing a least one this year. Probably Cadwell, but might do a half day taster first at Darly Dale as it's only 60 quid, 20 minutes away and I've not been on the track for 3 years!
