... The final few steps until cake, yes it was a tankslap style race there where tables of home made cake and bacon rolls on offer before and after the race (rock) http://www.charleswhittonphotography.com/imgs/gallerylargew/e7f_7395_26442285.jpeg

That's what I'm after, for the zx6r to pick up better

Hopefully not off the garage floor next time.

Always came along with something different - and it was always good, not the same old stuff decade after decade like a lot out there, but a fresh thinking guy that was willing to take a risk on new ideas, I heard/saw an interview with him in the early to mid nineties, he ...

... his 8x years of motorcycling, & took his car test just so that he would be able to attend to her without having to rely on public transport. After a year of enduring a 1.0 Micra, he treated himself to a 2 seater & was faced with your dilemma. After making many enquiries the conclusion ...

... as it's a nice volume with that and a slip on plus it sounds beautiful. Removing the cats gets you a free-flowing exhaust. Someone did a before/after cat removal dyno comparison and it was worth 2-3 bhp - FOR FREE !!! No I didn't but I left it at my mates garage for him to do as he wanted with ...

last night I decided to start both bikes and let them get up to operating temperature, the multi started first time ( as usual ) so then onto the 999, after about 3 turnovers she fired up and I haven't started it for about 3 weeks, spot on.

Well after being told off the doc I need to do some exercise, I bought a piece of 'gym' equipment for the garage, it's very hard on the shoulders and arms and supposed to help the stomach muscles. I can only do about 5 mins ...

... like a mad man, had a massive breakfast at a new location (logged for a future TS ride out) rode home, cleaned bike, makes a change that I did it after the ride, but she was a mess from today and last weeks outing. Edit > sorry rode with skill and plenty of care and attention.

Quiet night tonight, glass of wine or two in front of the telly is in order. Tomorrow well hopefully be a quiet morning and I can wash the bike off after last weeks "shower". The side stand switch repair aiding needs to be made a but more permanent. Sunday is rough 'n' tumble, a 10 mile ...

... was around Berkshire way interviewing a couple of police officers. Any advice on keeping us slappers safe on the road is always appreciated. Look after your health and hopefully we will see you on the road when you're riding again. I'll eat your share of the cake, I'm nice like that.

Start tomorrow with a quick 5k round Holyrood park in Edinburgh as part of a 3 run series then an hopefully an easy weekend after.

... side on my retirement as my case was undervalued big time by the Police Federation solicitors and there was nobody to fight my corner and look after the interests of the rider. I will shortly be leaving my present employer and moving to another specialist motorcycle claims legal firm. I hold ...

The mechanic showed me the photo of the bike after the crash. The rider must have been doing at least 100 when the accident happened.

Exactly what I'm hoping for !!

Im' also hoping that a click does something! haha.. rebound is shot, literally no adjustment after a session on track. I'm assuming it overheats either through lack of nitrogen in the reservoir or old sludgy oil

It's a good series. I thought the ideas would dry up after season 2 but they've done well to keep it fresh. Agreed, I thought once old ginger boy died it'd be all over. She's a fruitcake thou' could you imagine living with her (fubar). Actually it's ...

Looked at it, smoking exhaust, petrol fumes galore and hot as anything after finishing todays 70mile round trip... and wandered... how many times can I do this 70mile trip on a 2003 blade that already has 49k on the clock? :( any advice on keeping this going... ...

... I'm not suprised what's happening. Not sure of the laws over there but in the uk the sales of goods act can be used for warranty type claims, way after a manufacturers warranty has ended too. It just means even less people will buy an aprilia so they will lose out long term. Sad the owner loses ...

... I wish these had have been about 3 yrs ago (facepalm) would have saved me a lot of work and money, I paid more than this just for the tail piece after the US company stitched me up and sent it as commercial goods and cost me AU$400 in duty and import tax. But thought this might be useful for ...

I think BSD do a before and after run for comparisons.

You're looking at around 8bhp increase but it's more about the power delivery.

What was the bhp gain before/after?

Numbers are pretty meaningless unless tested back to back

And totally irrelevant unless tested on the same machine, altitude, temperature, time of day, etc, etc, etc
