... all the basics, fluids, chain, fasteners, pressures etc..... Set the suspension to stock settings. Strangely the front rebound was wound all the way in and should be 12 clicks out, Pretty dramatic change :^ I'll start with base OEM settings and make adjustments as AND if I need to after a good ...

... combination of changing from downhill to uphill with added rotation, my head whiplashed backwards and I blacked out before my head went all the way back. I went rag-doll for more than 5 seconds, managed to stay in the dinghy then came round at the end of the slide holding my neck in pain and ...

Did it feel "cheap" in any way....budget switchgear, etc.

... ) Read as.... eBay Pissed Purchase ;) ;) Haha no not at all. Saw it in bike trader and he was near Silverstone where we were stopping on the way home from holiday so popped over to view it Sunday. Deal was good too good to say No, so I bought (y)

Not in any way trying to put you off MV but just a heads up that when they were a Ducati dealer they got very varied reviews from very good to fecking awful.

The bike is a stunner though.

... very close. Both are excellent light weight screams that love to have the throttle cracked open. The 1050 is bigger and lazier, but not in a bad way. If you want to chill and take in the scenery the 1050 is cool with that. But it's versatile enough to be treated like a through the rev range sports ...

... with MVs loved them. No issues apart from 2016 models having sprag clutch problems. I didn't get an MV, a very well priced 675 Street R came my way. But I'm back in the hunt for another naked and today I got a ride on an 800EAS. The dealer didn't have an 800rr which is out on loan. The EAS is ...

Yep. No better way to cure a hangover. Tbh I’ve tried Hair of the dog, but didn’t work for me, staying pissed did just the once - but there was a small flaw in that plan.... Best answer is a cuppa & bacon and egg sandwich with ...

... "getting blotto " . As has been pointed out above, life is simply procrastinating our inevitable demise. Something will get us all, one way or another. Mitigating the risks is all well and good (eg.: I wouldn't bother taking up smoking), however playing it so safe that you simply exist ...

... of us who have been teetotal for over 30 years it is difficult to get our heads around wat the issue is, and I don't mean that in a judgemental way. If drinking doesn't kill you something else will, and witj all the scaremongering going on, I am honestly surprised that any of us are still alive ...

It's all going to kill you, no matter how much or little you drink.

There's no way I'm going teetotal. Better to die early with a smile on my face than to have a long drawn out boring life.

... has said it's going to be illegal to pay UK citizens their pension if they live outside the UK but within the EU. Complete bollox , there is no way that could be illegal as it would mean it is illegal to transfer funds from UK to the EU which would stop all trade , its patently ridiculous scaremongering ...

Flat-track racing.

It's like horse-racing,......for bikes. Or maybe NASCAR for Harleys.

Either way, I'm not that impressed.

... little heads up here just to raise awareness about this very small charity, which helps homeless people in Birmingham., but in a real and instant way with food, clothing and assistance to help them get back on their feet. Started by the daughter of a lady the wife used to go to Zumba classes with, ...

Fwiw I really like the way it looks. Tidy looking job that. Don't think the idea of owning one (or even riding one much) appeals though. It’s a real nostalgia thing for me St Marks. I learnt to ride on this era of bike, old CB250 & ...

Wishing we hadn't drunk so much last night. Proseco is way to easy to drink, It's like necking pop, add a hot tub and my mental wife and carnage is always going to occur . I've also no idea why I woke up in bed with barbecue tongs (wasntme) What ever ...

Today I shall be trying to fix the TV I just knocked over not 5 minutes ago on my way out the bedroom door in the dark. There's bits of plastic EVERYWHERE!!!! Now I know how Kiwikrasher feels. Every day. Ah well.....it's not the end of the world. Oh.....and MTB riding ...

... was going to ride straight to Crickhowell and then grab some food at maybe a cafe or something whilst there. But when we realised it was 3 hours away he immediately said 'I can't wait that long!!' So we changed our schedule and decided to stop off at a service station just before Swindon Jct on ...
