Re: 2017 Versys 650 Grand Tourer - ongoing review

I have a front Angel GT with plenty of tread left if you want that. The rear wouldn't unfortunately fit.

Re: 2017 Versys 650 Grand Tourer - ongoing review

I spent a bit of time making my Multi sit on its nose a little bit. Worth trying to add a little rear preload if the bike squats under acceleration.

By nature these bikes tend to sit more flat.

Re: New bike registrations

Found the stats. They make sobering reading.

Bike sales down 14% on this time last year. Sportsbikes down 26%.

Re: Things really have gone too far now

Haven't the police in London just this week uncovered a lock up with loads of stolen bikes inside? Maybe as a result of this incident.

I have heard the latest ploy is they stick a cheap tracker to parked bikes in London and then just steal them in the night when the bike is parked up at home.

Re: New tyres for the Multi - Z8s?

Yes 190/55.

They are all doing £30 off st the moment according to Jason. But Z8s were cheapest and just fancied trying something different.

No plans for the most tumultuous change to the Country since WW2. And what do we hear from May and her band of merry bum lickers? Let's...

Re: Theresa May announcement

I see May is now stealing policy from the last Labour manifesto. A policy which IIRC the Tories lambasted them for.

You going to get a tank bag?

Phone, wallet and keys where you can see them all the time. And you don't even notice it's there.
