I sincerely hope that everyone in a position of power, and that includes heads of religions, takes a good look at their stance and attitude towards the LGBT community.

I'm pretty sure that any God would prefer to see men holding hands than men holding guns.

Gave it a decent wash and top up with ACF50 yesterday. Spent a lot of time cleaning and lubing the chain and making sure it was spotless.

This morning rode into work. It's amazing how much difference a well maintained chain makes to the noise and response when you ride.

... for only 10mph over the speed limit!!" (An admission of guilt). You can't have it both ways. And you can't have too much security, but you sure as feck can have too little. And you ask "But what do I know"?? My job is in that field....so I'm guessing not as much as I do. Hopefully. ...

... at 500 notes for a custom set up 3 way race shock. I asked about shimming the rear and he said to not and drop the forks. regarding the rear not sure what I'm going to do but if i do invest the wilbers will get serious consideration

While I actually agreed with what they said, I'm not sure putting Major and Blair on a stage together was a good idea for remain. Plus Brown did a great video, but who's going to listen to him? It's almost sabotage! They need to get the youth vote ...

Do they get written off easily Duke?

Not sure how they would crash with no frame and just a stressed airbox.

I get what your saying Duke but I'm not sure there is such a thing as a cheap Panigale unfortunately especially the full fat version

I intend looking for a s/h one in a couple of years, Blade.

I would want to take it on track now and again as that's what it was designed for and where it works best and i'm not sure i would want to do that with £17k+ of 205bhp sportsbike.

... Axial Pro are £265 in your link and that's £30 more than I paid in a UK store. Personally I would shop around in the UK and look for a deal. Not sure if sales pitch or not but when I bought mine I was told in the Dainese store they wouldn't accept any return for warranty (admittedly unlikely) ...

Are you sure its not sea salt from the ferry?

It's red/brown in colour.

Had one day hols left so rode over to JHP on the 748 to test the Panigale. Needed to make sure that a new Panigale wasn't what i really wanted rather than looking at changing the Multi. but it would mean selling the 748. Nice cool journey over and usual twisty roads ...

FC-Moto have said they'll take the trousers back but they're not sure if Rukka will replace or repair. It's a pain but for now I'll return them and in the meantime get some waterproofs to go over my leather jeans.

... nav was a novel experience, obviously in the car you're used to audible clues as well as visual, but on the bike it's all about looking and making sure you're still on the right road. At first, I wasn't keen. The phone display isn't brilliant in sunlight and there's a new load of information to ...

Call or email Opie Oils, they should be able to help. Plus you get a forum discount ("slap" is the code). I think 15w is the medium/heavy grade. but I'm not sure what Kwak put in as standard.

Thanks for the advice Perkles I'll make sure they do that. Monty it's a specific one of the set they're short on. 44065-0039 'bushing front fork' so I'm trying to find that on eBay etc. If not then it's 10-day back order waiting time and then ...

... parts (as standard) would be recommend to change when doing the fork bushes? just spoke to the guy i know at Kawasaki motors and he said just make sure you change the fork oil while your in there,he was surprised to hear about your fork failure

Yep....them's the ones...you can see the zipper-tap thing in the pic. Weird to put on at first....and I seem to recall that there was some issue with them not being track-legal here, not 100% sure, but seems to ring a bell....I know that the subject came up.

Sure. Let me know when.
