Re: What are you doing today ??

I'm torn.. I can either get the helmet and gloves or the brake discs. My head is saying brakes but my heart is 70% saying helmet and gloves.

My gear is getting old and could do with being replaced though, especially my tatty helmet and holy gloves

Re: What are you doing today ??

... at suspension if swing arm bearings, linkages, wheel bearings are shot. Cheap enough and easy enough to do yourself at home if you don't mind getting your hands dirty. I'm planning on doing that too although it comes to around £90 for all the bearings... ergh

Re: H2R Brands Hatch lap

I spent a fair amount of time critiquing my body position and the best thing for it was getting your photo taken, analysing it and trying to correct it. Practicing on a stationary bike also helps. It all depends on how much you want to improve it, if you aren't that ...

Re: What are you doing today ??

Don't skimp on consumables like bearings Cav. No point throwing money at suspension if swing arm bearings, linkages, wheel bearings are shot.

Re: Ear plugs

... as they did well in a review I dug up. I've used laser light and currently got some low pressure ones (still howard leight) as I'm useless at getting the things in my ear. According to the review, any plugs with cords or something running through them aren't as good but never tried them so ...

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review

Rides like tonight remind me how good these tyres are. Hard braking and the front is solid. There's a couple of left handers I use getting on the motorway and I'm doing the same speeds in the rain.

Re: MotoGP chiefs call rider meeting

Iannone was getting loads of shit from the Italians for not supporting Rossi at Philip Island.

They're mental about sport in Italy.

For me this is getting boring now. I hope Rossi gets his penalty points suspended by the Swiss court pending an offical hearing and he starts in Valencia on Sunday where he qualifies on the Saturday. He races the best in the world ...

Re: This can't end well

Well least he won't be going 12.weeks without getting some!! It's only 12 weeks so very much doubt it's a hard man's prison who are gangsters and murders, surely it will be with the pot smokers and people who don't pay a TV lisense!

Personally hate that, legally a man so MTFU and get on with it.

Re: Tyre options for the SX

... a 1.05 in the wet seems bloody quick to me !! I just googled Ben Wilson, that guy is quick. I think I'll do one of those when I don't seem to be getting any quicker. Word of advice, stick to the tarmac on a road bike - they cope a little better! ;)
