Re: Mr Postman
Yesterday I received a Stanley Fatmax drill. Seems well made and i don't doubt the 57nm torque rating, its got some guts compared to my 18 year old 14.4v einhell.
Slightly used but a good saving over new (bran-used)

Re: Cookie's Street Triple 765 R
With my '13 STR the instructions were Up to 3/4 max rpm (9k with its 13k redline) No full throttle starts No prolonged operation at constant revs. Quite a fun break in procedure, hopefully they havent changed it too much. It didn't do it any harm with track days being the only thing to make it burn ...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Pulled it out of the garage, lubed the chain then put it back in while I got changed... Then it started to rain with a couple of flashes of lightning.
Ah well it's ready for next time.

Re: Crossplane triples
There is only one way to set the crank in an inline 3 engine but Yamaha had to make it their own so called it a CP3, MARKETING is the word here, hence why the MT07 is branded a CP2, CrossPlane twin? really, Yamaha?

Re: What are you doing today ??
I was supposed to be working but my shift got passed to someone else, so my dad mentioned a noise from his car and a swift test run told me that the cheap top mount that I fitted last month had already soiled the bed (Trying not to swear here). Took the trusty Honda (Civic 2.2Diesel) to get another ...

Hope it doesn't make you too impatient for yours, I would ask for time on the demo bike to scratch the itch.

Re: Stonesie's MT-10 thread
Welll out of 6 companies ive contacted only Parkitt and Jordan bikes replied at all, asked around and the consensus was that it takes a brave man to let Jordans tune it, im about half way between the two so distance isn't a factor. And the price was within £20. You are the first negative comment ive...

They do look good but as said, over your hands is almost as good for view and way better for filtering.
