What did you do to your bike today ??

Next time you need some new tyres, the Michelin PR4s would be a great choice what with autumn coming on.

In the wet on Saturday afternoon they stuck to the road as if it were dry.

They're the tyre of choice on the SX forum.

Said goodbye to the Tiger, she has been good for me over the past 4 yrs and 21K. But its time to go

Good bike that, she's done you proud.

Post by **Frankie** » 25 Aug 2015, 15:38

She has been great, but I need the cash, well sort of as a deal came into my in box out of the blue, which ticks a box a little more premature, but hey you have got to do what you gotta do.
Put it this way, my little foray off road produced a itch I needed to scratch lol

I know that feeling. It's probably a good job I haven't room for another bike.

Shame to hear its gone Frankie but also good to be able to replace it with something and not doing without!

Yesterday went out for a blast, around 60 miles, it was really greasy outside and I had a few slips, put me right off to be honest. First time I have really noticed my tyres being squared off too. Really need to replace them but awaiting funds first! Was nice getting out through the week though in the evening, with traffic to contend with

Just took the Multi out to fuel up ready for Motogp Day of Champions ride in tomorrow.

Been a naughty boy.... needed something to pick me, up lots going pear shaped this morning

moan over....

Anyway, as it was dry, I would just get the thumper out for a tiny little run down a dirty road I know, turned out to be clean and full of dog walkers, so not to plan

oh well, How can I describe this bike.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

The speed of this thing is nuts, if the speedo is right, it is bloody awesome.... I do have knobblies on it so I did not want to go too mad

But WTF! this thing is mental fun.....I cannot imagine what it would be like in supermoto trim ie more road biased tyres.....
It does weave around alot hehe on these tyres especially as I was meeting the limit on a national road

laughing my pant off.

Oh yeah the question of it going up, er, yes 2nd and 3rd seems to do the trick, well balanced that's for sure

Oh and Tony the noise on full chat, seems to attract alot of attention, before I even got to where people were standing/walking etc... they were looking round

It does look like a lot of fun and having a giggle is what biking should be about.

Rode down to Jaguar's HQ at Gaydon to meet up for the Motogp ride in for Day of Champions. then rode to Super Sausage cafe where we met up with Ross Noble, Niall McKenzie and Bradley Smith who rode in with us to Silverstone. Two laps of the track ( when it decided to rain for a short while )and then been walking round paddock mixing with the fastest riders in the world.

Got a few signatures on my Day of Champions bib.

I want to be a Motogp rider, not so I can race around silly fast on the most special bikes ever built........................................................................................................... but so I can get myself a hot looking babe for a girlfriend.

Doesn't seem to matter how ugly a rider you are.................its a sure thing that you will hook up with some beautiful totty.

Don't need to be a motogp ride for that Duke. Money or glamour are your key ingredients. Both of which I'm short of unfortunately

took the forks out of the cbr600 ready for some new seals.

Rode the zx6r into work for a test run.

God how I've missed that wail over 12,000 revs. It's intoxicating.

Post by **Kwacky** » 28 Aug 2015, 13:00

Ordered a second hand rear brake caliper and holder for the zx6r. May look to bling it up before I swap it over. The old one is looking a bit tatty.

Used it to get to a job interview In Coventry! Car issues and mayhem this morning....... Bloody nightmare, thank feck it was dry.... But man the traffic up that next of the woods puts London to shame and that's saying something lol....

Cramming suit and shoes in rucksack was an experience!
