Re: Wales ride 24/25th Sept

(facepalm) I can't win. A quick google finds 1299, 1199, R1, S1000rr, Fireblade and Gixer Thou forums all talking about them. S1000rr riders are getting between 3,000 to 5,000 from a rear I don't think the M7rr is the tyre to use on the track if you were running in the fast group this week and ...

Re: Wales ride 24/25th Sept

Once up to operating temp modern tyres have more grip than we think Rossgo. I was getting my knee down at Oulton Park last week on a damp track with rain still spitting down. M7rr is supposedly the best fast road tyre for wet conditions so you have the perfect tyre ...

Re: Ducati 748 - Road to track/road

The standard one is what John Hackett recommended. He said if you go for a 48 tooth then it limits the ease of getting new clutch plates and as long as you can live with the dry clutch noise then there isn't much benefit from the 48 teeth The SBK Is a bit more than just a 48t ...

Re: Grammar schools

Getting them used to exams before they sit the main one is the right way to do it. But training them from a young age is just wrong IMO.

Re: Waterproof gloves - recommendations

Five aren't cheap but like Duke says, you shouldn't mess around when it comes to getting kit. They only make gloves, that's all they do. To me that means they have to get it right, unlike other companies who can get by with some products better than others The ones ...

driving through Calais

I can't agree with the driver's comments. He's a bit further to the right of Trump and Farage, but you can see why the truckers are getting so pissed off.
