... 3 days I got a full refund and went back to Carole Nash and got what I wanted. Which was a good job as a few days later I sent the zx6r down the road. If I hadn't checked my Be Wiser policy I wouldn't have been covered and out of pocket to the price of a brand new bike.

Great bike but I don't think I was tempted to own one. If I was doing big miles and fancied the occasional off road then I reckon it's great but for commuting and weekend runs which is my riding then it's too big, too heavy and not nimble enough. You get great views for filtering ...

Give the bike a really good clean and degrease but don't wax or polish it. Once the bike is dry then apply to anything the road salt can attack. I would also apply a small amount to a dry cloth and rub it on the bodywork and pretty much all of the bike apart from the brakes. I use a ...

My bikes been off the road for a few weeks thanks to a car driver nudging her from behind... :( all rebuilt now except now my rear huggger is now touching the tyre... and I cannot get the left footpeg to catch on (you know... getting ...

D6 I understand that feeling. I had a fox growl and follow me and my dog last year it put my dog off walking around the field in the mornings and she prefers just to go to the end of the road for her morning walk!

What I find is that even off the road for a week or so for what ever reason, I can tell the difference. For those who don't ride for months, it must make you feel very rusty coming back to it. As for the mornings, I was walking my dogs on ...

Road my bike today for the first time in months.

Realised there is no such thing as fast cars, just slow bikes

I was watching Bitchin' Rides on Discovery last night, and whilst I'm not a fan of 4 wheels particularly, and modern American muscle in general, seeing this go down the road was quite amusing...

SC are a track/road pad
RC is track only

I would keep buying the SC if it wasn't so expensive

I guess yours is the equivalent to an SA then, Road-biased pad

... technical info on chains. One thing I noticed was the very top spec 520 race chain had a higher tensile strength than some of the lower spec 530 road chains from the same manufacturer so as you say possible to get similar wear on a 520 if you go for the very top spec. Probably bores you but I ...

... it wore out very quickly. Obviously not a fair comparison between manufacturers but does highlight that if your going for alloy sprockets on the road definitely opt for the Hard anodised option. TBH a sprocket is pretty much a sprocket and all branded ones are very similar in quality. I think ...

... leathers and stitched them back together with zip ties. I was surprised how little damage they sustained. I was doing 50mph ish and slid along the road for quite some time before hitting a curb. The ambulance crew cut them to pieces not sure if you can see but the damage to the leathers was on ...

... the rider's attention from what's really important. If you need toys in your lid, you should probably try spending a bit more time focusing on the road. You'll love this bit of kit then!

I agree you should focus on the road, they why I think this idea has merit. I have had plenty of occasions where the rain or fogging has compromised ...

Where I live the closed pub is 5 km away up a 100km/hr zone road, with no verge to walk on. Plus being a single Dad now if I waited till I 'went out' I'd be having about 6 drinks a year.

Twats with beards and open helmets. All that's wrong with biking...............

That's an excellent time to deploy one of those road stingers the police use.

... up. Not that you sleep anyway. Once kids arrived in the house I went from being able to sleep through a migration of wildebeest sweeping down the road to being woken by a leaf blown against the window. Exactly the same for me mate. I could sleep through a train wreck. Yet once the kids came I ...

I made sure both of ours were breast fed. Saved me getting up. Not that you sleep anyway. Once kids arrived in the house I went from being able to sleep through a migration of wildebeest sweeping down the road to being woken by a leaf blown against the window.
