Re: Hypermotard test ride

I too was hoping you were going to say it's a horrendous bike... I love the look of these things and would love to own one.

Still, glad you had a great ride out on it - think you should borrow one for saturday and the multi for the sunday and do back to back testing ;)

... Yorkie Bar.....military-grade Yorkie Bar, I might add. (muscle) I stand by by statement, it is impossible to calculate the cost of a war....if it were, the 'estimates' would not vary so greatly as they do.

Bit late but as Kwacky said, those are shite. They 2006 model of them were on my track bike when j bought it, like cheese! The foot pegs were drooping from the bent plates and all the placement adjustment holes threads were corroded and stripped. I put Vortex ...

Firstly dark clouds were gathering out towards Wales and after one long straight i could see Police Slow signs and went round a bend to find a cop car across the road and ...

Re: Wet trackdays

... the warmer go straight back on to prevent those heat cycles as they degrade the tyre performance. Personally I didn't use those on track if they were over 2yrs old, as both temp changes in your garage and sunlight will degrade the rubber, however if you want to check the date on them it should ...

We were pretty much bankrupt before we joined the EU. We still owed loads of money WW2 at the time. Hmmm....care to elaborate on that?? Not doubting it for a second...but it seems like there was a gradual process....first the ...

Someone else may say different but I thought the SC compounds were to be used with warmers and not exposed to heat cycles. I'm sure they will be OK but maybe not at there best, but if not pushing lap record pace and using as a summer road tyre you maybe ...

Re: Wet trackdays

... they're not meant for this weather. I'd have no major concern using them. I went to watch BSB at silverstone a while back using these tyres, they were low on tread and it was pissing down.. exiting a roundabout there was a long left sweeper onto the dual carriageway and I powerslid for the entire ...

Re: Wet trackdays

I'd stick with the old one and ride accordingly. I've run SC01 and SC02s over winters and in the wet and always been surprised how good they were.

You'll know straight away if it doesn't feel right, just back off

I heard that world supers were going back to Brands , if they can surely motogp can , but I'd like it to return to Donington , they are spending money , the suites on Kraners have gone and I imagine when they have finished the remodelling they'll spend some cash on the facilities
