I wonder if fizzy drinks etc would cause this process to happen quicker?

Cheers! I just got lucky that the photographer caught it. He was telling me about an R6 he'd got but it turned out to be me! I had to buy the CD as he got the full crash sequence. I'll post more up when I get a chance. It actually wasn't as bad as it looks but that's the best hero shot lol. I'm ok, ...

Me yesterday at Oulton!

I should be able to make this. Feels like ages since I've been round Wales now!

I'd actually quite like a head up display if it was projected onto my visor properly. I'd have gear indicator displayed in the corner and maybe a warning for speed cameras.

From wikipedia
A head-up display or heads-up display[1]—also known as a HUD—is any transparent display that presents data without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints.
Not exactly transparent is it that big black box?

Is there still a good bit of meat on the pads? If yes and they're squealing I'd expect there is no copper grease on the back of the pads and the squeak/squeal is just friction.

I'd go for the carbon wrap too. If it's down low it's never going to get examined too closely anyway.

I didn't even really like watching it if I'm honest let alone getting in.

I think with traction control becoming the norm now the gap between the 600's and the 1000's will open out again. I've never ridden a litre bike so I have no idea how hard it is to get the power down? On the 899 which I think had traction control I had no problem at all getting the power down!

Am I the only one who really really wants to try "195bhp 'kin 'ell mode"? Just for a bit. The 899 makes just under 150hp. Roughly the same as a gsxr 750. That 1199 must be an animal!

And I think the bay is Bala lake. Great photo.

No like button for me other but it's there on other threads. I still have edit, quote, and report. Great write up rocket Can't believe you chose the blackbird for a trip round Wales though

Welcome in mate. Hopefully see you out on another ride some time. That R1 of yours sounds truly epic!

That looks brilliant. I'd definitely be up for trying that. Duke did they supply all the gear, boots, helmet etc?

Hi all. Not long been in. Brilliant day out. Got in, fed the dog, cracked open a beer
It's been a good day

Heading off now. Be at the raven about 9.15

Haha is this that live porn you mention?

I had a quick Google and couldn't see any horror stories. However googling retrofit was a bit vague and I ended up reading about retrofitting electric folding mirrors onto a BMW 7 series. It can be done if anyone wondered lol? Far too easily distracted!

I'm with Hastings this time, MCE previously. No claims yet so no reason to complain. I tend to just go with the cheapest known company that includes leather cover etc from an insurance comparison site. I think there are only 20 or so actual insurance providers and then hundreds of brokers?
