Just sneaked out for a quick blast so here's a small review and initial thoughts Handling 10/10 sublime it looks a big bike but somehow like a toy to ride Gearbox 3/10 out of a tractor simply awful Brakes 10/10 mega stopping power but nice and progressive Power 8/10 pulls like ...

Duke that looks awesome

Classic Ducati superbike look Duke and looks amazing for it. True timeless classic.

Needs Carbon airbox, heat shield and some tasty rearsets next. You know you want too

I have to agree the wheels set the bike off perfectly. spot on looks mint.

... sure that's the one the 675 lot did. Hopefully Frankie will enlighten us as he was one of the guys who went along to it. The learn 2 wheelie one looks good :-) Only just seen this thread, but the one we did was at the top gear test track place, south of Guildford, it was great fun, start on quads, ...

Rafters looks a bit weak for that unfortunately

I've dropped the forks out of my 675 using the front headstock paddock stand.

I do have an Abba stand too. Great bit of kit IMO, but just not really the right tool for the job in this situation. The adapter that Blade pointed out looks like it makes it more feasible though,

10th would be ok for me as well, it's 10 day's away from my GF birthday, looks like that month going to be a pricey one!! Lol

... through crap! Other kit was a Skins compression top, fairly pricey for a top but, once again unless you catch it on barbed wire or something it looks like new once washed and will last quite a while by the feel of things. Some lycra shorts for about £8, and then just a pair of light shorts over ...

So if a man has sex, with both parties consenting to it, with a 15 year old girl who looks 18 and she said she was 17 then he should be executed? Because that's rape according to the law as she's too young to give consent.

Fingers crossed it looks set to stay dry down here, so lets both skip work and go for a blast

It looks like I'll be testing out my new waterproofs if the weather forecast is to be believed.

Just watched it on the ITV Highlight show .... MM is something else

I'm guessing he was toying with Lorenzo whilst preserving his tyres and then decided to go

Looks a decent track as well

... they remove all the kit and hang it vertically of the bike for days and try to get the air to move upwards and then bleed at the high point. looks like tomorrow could be a full day of bleeding why dont you buy an easy bleed kit they are cheap as chips Got a recommendation as a lot of cheap ...
