100% Silica... doesn't cope with the heat too well then! aha.

Sounds like a good tyre then to be fair, hmmm. I doubt I'll get them until next year as my only planned trackday is Catalunya where it should be dry. I'll make do with a random assortment of tyres for the road until then

This year has seen my brakes get overhauled and upgraded, new gearing (-1/+3), shock service and revalve, and most recently the forks were serviced and revalved. The only stock part of my brake setup are the calipers which are ...

Not going all out on cartridge kits etc, bit too pricey for me, especially a bike that I don't want to ride all year round in the rain etc [emoji15] K-Tech SSK piston kit and flow control valves. Looking at £500ish all in without changing the springs I reckon. I'll get a more accurate ...

Thanks guys.

Kwacky I'll add it to Monty's PO he's raising.

Monty - going slap you in a couple of weeks buddy

Blade - yup, it's the year to try them I guess.


Carpe de Pasty...

With moving house, the baby and a few other costs, I can't see it being replaced anytime soon. I still owe 2 more years on finance. Luckily I still love the bike and find it does everything I need. The engine covers and casing itself is a bit ropey in places so I might keep my eyes ...

Yes, yet wouldn't the VIN show it as a 2011 year model non the less as that's the year of manufacture?

yes I believe so

... price as there were other 2010's out there for £1-1.5k less. i know they can sell it for whatever they want, yet not advertise it as a different year model. I'm happy (well not really yet know their T&Cs so i can't contest it) to write off the £560 fork costs, yet i want the full difference ...

Ok I have booked this really enjoyed it this year so could not resist getting my name down for next year. I have been looking at flights and it seems they Do fly from Manchester to Almeria airport must have all been booked up last year. So when ...

Enjoy ! It's been a long time since I went over there.

We normally go every year. It's a good break and a nice place to ride your bike legally at silly speeds.

Just been to my lads end of year school show and awards ceremony.

He got an award for Maths and problem solving so pretty impressed.

Im in London for meetings tomorrow, the hottest day of the year so far

These are being hosted in Birmingham this year. It's a weekend event. There are well over 3000 people competing from all around the world. There were teams from the USA, Australia, Korea, Nepal, Argentina, Antilles to name but a few. It really ...

We've just booked Tokyo, so that's us skint. Plus we're doing the family Florida thing next year so that's 2017 taken out as well. But never say never. I've decided that I'm better off worrying about the money I've spent and having a good time than I am worrying that ...

Worse than that they were explicitly told last year that they could not spend any money or time preparing for brexit as it was not going to happen. Internally the civil service is in utter turmoil. ...

It's not all that bad. Rumours of a new Ducati V4 superbike and an all new Fireblade next year. We've never had it so good to be fair

I think that is a decent assumption, Blade.

It seemed a strange decision to run Panigales this year as the bike will always struggle to be competitive under BSB rules. Only rider of Shakey's ability has made it work.

I wonder if Birdie switched to Ducati this year to be in the prime seat for running a new v4 superbike next season.
