In addition to the racing It was all about the cars that were parked everywhere - my favourite was a beautiful DB5 for sale at £356k, or a pristine Dodge Challenger R/T, so many MGB's as to appear commonplace, ...

Re: Aprilia Rs250

Did you try the Irish chap I suggested he did me an absolute mega deal on my shock for the Blade ?

Paid 500 for a 3 way adjustable race shock and all the competition were north of a grand.

Custom made and half the price of Maxton, ktech or Ohlins but identical quality and performance.

Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review

Brake power is not bad tbh but it's no improvement over oem and feel wooden but in fairness so did oem and Rockets non abs is the same although I think he has Kwackys favourite Mrr pads installed.

When I fitted SBS rs pads to my Blade the difference and improvement were huge.

Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review

They were night and day on my bike, very impressed with them. No heat up time at all, very consistent and a nice initial bite. Suspect the one's I replaced were the original pads and were very shiny and full of big holes in the surface so difficult to do a fair comparison with the OEM ones.

Some of the issues with the bike were exaggerated by me overriding the bike, it behaved better (although still terrible). For session 3 I added 1 turn of preload and took 1 turn of ...

... I’d be £2,875.00 out of pocket. I know Mike never mentioned it was a 2010 model when I was buying it, I wouldn’t have bought at that price. There were 2010 models available £1k or more less, yet I wanted the latest/newest model I could afford hence going for your 2012 bike. I appreciate the cost ...
