Re: One life already claimed at the TT

I think the course needs more jumps, and the riders can carry chains and knock off other riders. And we call it Road Rash instead of the TT.

Re: One life already claimed at the TT

Re: One life already claimed at the TT

I think the threat to road racing is already growing - new chicanes at NW200 as one example. I think we've had our Concorde moment for the smaller road race events and most will follow suit. I know it's not comparing like for like as ...

Re: Road-going Honda RCV unveiled

And he pulled away very slowly with miminal revs and it was at a low key event. I'm guessing its still quite a way from being fully production ready.

Re: Road-going Honda RCV unveiled

Its obviously a staged video to promote the bike but surely you want it sounding like the fire-breathing monster it should be? It doesn't even sound much like a V4 to me.

Re: Chain and sprockets

... comes from is the alloy sprockets. And not sure about the gen3 but the gen4 only has a 525 chain as stock which is quite unusual as most powerful road bikes are 530 as stock. Personally speaking unless you like wasting money and changing chains I would stay with OEM spec abd size of chain and ...

Re: The new improved fitness thread

I've given up my gym membership now.. Totally lost all motivation for going.

I just do running club now, which is usually twice a week but sometimes three. I've coupled that with cycling a bit. Now I've converted my mountain bike into a hybrid it's much easier to cycle distances on the road.

Re: Dainese 1 Piece

Yea definitely wouldn't rush into a suit Blade take your time and like you said think about it. If it's uncomfy or too tight then that's all your think about when your riding and will distract your attentions from the road.
