Re: My new Rocket Ship

So does it go like shit off a shovel then or what ? I've read they are great bikes with a bonkers engine Yes to put it bluntly it has grunt anywhere in the rev range. With the throttle wound back it feels like the front is floating all the time and I'm getting ...

Re: Tankslap Meeting Places

There is a tea and coffee shop in Cleobury North on the B4364 about half way down. I've meant to stop there a number of times but never quite got round to it. Its set back off the road and looks to have plenty of parking. I have seen bikes stopped there before.

Bike Sales - February 2015

... RT 13 TRAIL/ENDURO KTM 450 EXC FACTORY EDITION 14 Interesting to see Honda dominating new registrations but that's on the back of their small cc bikes/scooters

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Good day by the sounds of if Duke (y) How did you hear about it ?? Was on the PB forum, Blade. Had a chat with Johnny Mack about the bikes, I think Rutter was in race mode. There isn't much difference by all accounts but the R1 struck me as very quiet and the Panigale as very loud. :D The ...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Been to watch the Performance Bikes magazine testing the 1299 Panigale, new S1000RR and the new R1 at Mallory this afternoon. Watching Michael Rutter power the bikes down the main straight and past the slower bikes was a sight to behold. ...

Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review

Riders are fast bikes just do what riders tell them via the controls. Was sat behind some adventure bike the other day in some twisties. I think the bike was a Yamaha Super Tenere or similar. He could'nt pull away but I had to ride ...

Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review

Sounds like your enjoying the bike and the challenge of a different style of riding...

I remember from having the XJR the joys of a powerful bike that had crap all in the handling bag.. Made it all the more fun when you could hustle it round the bends and keep up with a lot sportier bikes 8)

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

... Go to any motorbike forum and check out the tyre threads. The SX forum has a 15 page rant going at present about the best tyres for our bikes. That's the same bike we all ride, but there are loads of differing opinions. None of us can tell you if a tyre is right for your bike, the way ...

Re: itchy

It's called Ride.
I've only played a few games, but it gives you options to customise your bike with stuff, it's quite pretty looking and there's over 100 bikes to get.
So far I have a street triple and a ZX6R.


And probably a grumpy wife before long!

Re: Bank Holiday Monday - 6th

Family is first, second and third Kwacky.

You have definitely got your priority's in order imo, bikes are a distance fourth after family. Hope things are OK tomorrow or as good as there can be.

There will be plenty more chances for ride outs. If the weather is good we could do Wales next Sunday.

Re: Bank Holiday Monday - 6th

Thanks both. There isn't much that can be said or done. Sadly it's the shitty part of life.

Anyway, I hope you manage to get out on your bikes.

Father in law stuff means I'm not sure what I'm going tomorrow but it's unlikely to involve bikes.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Joined what seemed every other biker in the Northwest and went for a blast I. Derbyshire.

Lot of forums or groups must have planned ride outs as quite a few large groups of people on the same bikes.

Quick blast on the bike this morning whilst wife and kids at church. Then a family fun afternoon out on push bikes and a nice roast dinner later on and watch BSB qualifying. Happy days, the simply things in life are always the best IMO (lol)
