Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

... like the 50th time took it for a test loads better. However my word there was some bad driving going off today mostly people in the middle of the road or swerving for no reason. A guy even had the cheek to flash me as he was doing a bad overtake and trying to get me to slow down when he was on ...

Re: Dot4 v Dot5

... Normally go for motul rbf600. There is better but very good spec for the price point. Never had fade on track with this so more than enough for a road bike. Ask Opie oils for tech advice if struggling to decide what to use.

Re: Michael Dunlop switches teams

Good point Road race if that was the case then fair enough. But if it was MD would be better speaking up and explaining himself to avoid any bad press, although saying that he probably doesn't even care, but perhaps should as his image to potential future sponsors is important.

Re: Michael Dunlop switches teams

I can see your position road race and agree he is likely to win on the BMW and obviously this is his only priority but its more the timing of the decision imo. If problems occurred at the nw200 it would have been better for him, build ...

Re: Chain and sprockets

... tyres. The added bonus is this weight saving is at the largest radius of the unsprung mass so has a huge difference which is noticeable even on road riding and is like fitting expensive forged wheels for a fraction of the cost and its money you would spend anyway. Small weight savings can make ...

Re: One life already claimed at the TT

I think the course needs more jumps, and the riders can carry chains and knock off other riders. And we call it Road Rash instead of the TT.

Re: One life already claimed at the TT

Re: One life already claimed at the TT

I think the threat to road racing is already growing - new chicanes at NW200 as one example. I think we've had our Concorde moment for the smaller road race events and most will follow suit. I know it's not comparing like for like as ...

Re: Road-going Honda RCV unveiled

Its obviously a staged video to promote the bike but surely you want it sounding like the fire-breathing monster it should be? It doesn't even sound much like a V4 to me.
