Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Took the Versys off the insurance. A little £75 refund as well. Bonus.

It might be a bit easier and a lot cheaper next year to get insurance with only 2 bikes and a much reduced annual mileage.

Yeah you are right, the amount of US people has now doubled, and at least one of them rides

Was going to get out for a few hours today but turned into a bit of a lazy day with my dog beside me watching some youtube vids.

If you’re going to throw smart arse comments, you’ve gotta be able to handle some back, just how it is

Out with the old, in with the new.

Fork oil and springs changed.

Been to Loomies. Jist taking a small break. Jeez these Dunlop Sportsmart mk3 are incredible. Loving this new tyre confidence inspiring, heat up very quickly and easily leaps and bounds better than the Bridgestone 016...I need a proper ride though!

Nice one Rossgo. I have the Sportsmart TT. Great tyre but mileage isn't good, although I expect the mk3 is better in this area

Yea I was close of choosing that TT tyre as I have heard it's a good tyre but back of my head told me I wouldn't warm it up and I'll slip off etc. If they are step up from these sportsmart then jeez you must be having fun on them lol! How are you finding the TT tyres, liking them, or is there better out there? I know mileage isn't too important to you as I know when you go out you want the best experience etc. The sportsmart should give me more mileage but I chose this true mainly because of the better wet grip in those 'it better not' moments lol

120 miles all in. All known local roads to and from Loomies but I literally havent ridden since Dec so been out only a couple of times inside last couple weeks so still need to take it easy......well sorta!!

Thoroughly enjoyed that ride

I was told to go home today from work as did everyone else due to 'out of our hands issues' so decided today is the day I'll get out for a good blat!!

I actually bought them for a 3 day Euro TD which fell through so been using them on the road.

I've done 900 mile on them and reckon they have 200 mile left in them if I run them completely down to legal limit.

Good tyre just wear to quick for the road but saying that I did original purchase them for track so can't really complain.

I liked the Bridgestone s21 I had one so thinking of trying the s22 next.

20cm is a lot of tread

Yeah there great in the wet

Booked the Triumph in for its service.

Rather than pick up the phone, i decided to ride over as the sun was shining and its forecast to piss it down tomorrow.

The Street has to be the best fun road bike out there. Every time i start following someone on a sportsbike and see them doubled up and looking decidely uncomfortable, i have a smile to myself.

On twisting roads i doubt there is a better bike out there to be on than the Triumph, regardless of cost.

Ahh right yea TD would of been class with those. But least you had some fun out of them lol.

Heard good things about those S21s so I recon the S22 could only be better. For road you do need that all round feel for all weathers really as we go through it all in 1 trip to Wales haha!

Came across a mcclaren on one of my local routes and we both couldn’t resist
