Re: Knox glove repairs

That's great news, especially as I too have Knox Handroids. I brought mine as I broke the knuckle of my little finger two years ago at Cadwell, and it despite being a minor injury it was debilitating in some respects for months afterwards. I guess they worked better than my old gloves, ...

Re: Experienced travellers

Don't mean this distastefully after kingfixers post but have a great time Kwacky and Duke. Euro trips imo are truly epic and to be savoured as these are the good times we will remember in later years.

Stays safe and stay fast 8) enjoy the good times guys (lol)

Re: Experienced travellers

Forgot to say a V2 visor sponge kit I've used every year for last 9 years. Cheap and the best imo. Self contained and stays moist and wipes all the shite off your visor

Re: Exp[erienced travellers

When I do my Euro trips though I haven't done one for about 3-4 years, I go through my sock & trollies draw and sift out all the worst ones, I take them with me and bin them each day thus the luggage gets lighter as you go along.

Its a great bike this CBR600rr (2005) - i haven't ridden it much at all in the 10 years we have had it now, but frankly its better than my RC8 in everything apart from power.

I thought it worth starting a thread for the TT this year as its only a week away. I love it. I've missed going for a few years but will still follow it on Manx radio live and on itv. Anyone who hasn't been needs to go at least once. What's everyone looking forward to this year? I'm ...

Re: The Tyre Thread

... touring tyres are so good these days most of the deference in speed is in the riders head. I loved the Sportsmarts, had at least 3 sets over the years and then swapped to the GPs when I started doing track days. Loved them to, but agree with Blade, bloody stiff carcass.

Re: Chain soft links

Yep, nothing in the diary yet but will be doing a least one this year. Probably Cadwell, but might do a half day taster first at Darly Dale as it's only 60 quid, 20 minutes away and I've not been on the track for 3 years!
