Re: Sound for the pound!

This is going to be a little monotonous J J, because I will also suggest that a good chain & padlock is almost a must these days. Almax if you can afford it, or there are some pretty good value Oxford ones if funds are tight. I agree with Rossgo, a discklock with built in alarm makes for the bes...

Re: Marquez completes practice sweep

....The boy is either very lucky or a riding genius or maybe just a little bit of both .. Don't they say there is a fine line between genius & madness.? StMarquez is certainly exceptionally gifted, & don't we all make our own luck to a certain extent.? I personally can just appreciate the f...

Re: Test rides

Cracking write up God'.
You say about the Duke having more top end, but you were also impressed by the GS's bottom end grunt. Do I take it that the GS had more usable bottom end than the Duke.?

Cold, windy & wet here. I commuted home on my 675, & the heavens opened just as I set off. (rain)

Spending the day grinning after getting an offer from my first choice uni after an interview earlier this week. Things were looking a bit bleak as my safety net options were unsuccessful but first choice came through. I can only assume I must not have shown enough enthusiasm at the other interviews...

Re: Epic fun- I want one.

Whilst I've never really been much into R/C cars, I have to agree God' those look amazing.

What would possibly be even more fun.: That track but scaled up for full sized bikes.? (nod)

Re: lean angles?

I totally agree with the above.: Your post suggests that your body position is wrong for the track. On our 675.cc forum trackday last year, one of our highly experienced road riders did exactly what you are describing & you are likely to emanate him if you don’t address your riding style. In his...

Re: The eyes no longer have it

Christ Beermonster that must be nothing short of devastating. ;(

It's time like this that remind me just how much we take things for granted.

Is this caused by a genetic trait, or is there anything we should perhaps be aware of mate.?

Re: Accident on the mountain.

The rider with a camcorder was doing over 130mph as he approached the other vehicles.

He was doing just 25mph as he rode alongside the overtaking rider.

That means that the car must have been going very slowly indeed.?

IMHO it's still the fault of the bike who hit the slower rider.

Re: 3 miles down

All true, of course mate. However I suspect that a lot of people believe that a dead body would be effected like that Styrofoam cup, whereas a dead body would probably be largely undamaged.
