They look better but they aren't as strong.. Sure they'd be fine for a carpark spill though

Sure am an unpaid volunteer... it's going to cost me around £200 to have the bike liveried... plus however much I end up spending to replace my lid with something less pink...

But it is so worthwhile! What a buzz!! Loved the rides today, and a genuine knowledge that today I helped people

Good time to buy and plenty of decent motors about so I'm sure something will turn up. Good luck with repairs though as sounds like your prefered option.

Today I went for a hundred mile blast through the rain, fog, cold and wind! Really enjoyed the ride today. Went around a bend on really poor road surface and the rear wheel snaked. Made me skip a heartbeat! If I was going any faster or leaning any further I'm sure it would of chucked me off!

General clear up and slob out tonight, then down to my Mums at 7.30 in the morning making sure she's ok and the carers have been in, after that it's all the family schlepping out to the Christmas tree farm and choose our tree, then back home and put it in a pot/barrel ...

Tonight...going to Westonbirt arboretum to see the Christmas lights
sat....not too sure
Sun....hopefully get out on the bike at some point but the forecast isn't brilliant

It's 47bhp for A2.

I'm sure the geeks at Triumph can sort out a little restrictor.

That's a good price for a bike with modern day electronics on it. I think that'll attract old bikers and new ones alike. It's simply styled and hasn't got an engine out to kill you. It should sell well in the states and Europe. I'm not sure what the market is like here.

... status. How different is this to now?? Most bikers, myself included, have a pre-mot check list of stuff that has to be replaced to pass... Not sure what you mean Nutz. Currently I have free choice of which exhaust I fit it doesn't have to be the kawasaki approved Akrapovic end can. A little ...

I do believe that may be we have been visited by advanced races that portrayed the part of Gods. Whether to help ...

I only know marvel stuff from the films and cartoons when I was a kid. so I don't know a lot of these things coming out. I enjoy them though. Not sure about deadpool. kind of looks like a comedy.

So many people have forgotten the true spirit of Christmas.

So nice to see such generosity. I'm sure the gesture will be appreciated, and one more person will have a happy Christmas.

The yamahas will be interesting that's for sure...

... of front and rear wheels). The reason is to be able to brake and accelerate harder as well as making the bike easier to ride (less fatigue). Im' sure for an endurance race this is something that would be useful as a super size fuel tank means less fuel stops meaning a faster average lap time ...

Sure though people would happily take gifts up on your behalve if we didn't see each other. There's usually a boat/bike that goes along with plenty of room for half the town haha!!

That's a WA plate Rossgo, you'd never get that on a plate here in NSW. Limited to 6 characters here I'm pretty sure.
