Re: Metzeler M7RR - First Ride
So there M5's just better
Got to admit they do sound very impressive and a great faster road tyre.
Out of interest what pressures do you tend to run Nutz ?

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
... pros! Well, pros who occasionally forget to change what lap the racers were on! (blush) I'll spare any results for the racing blog, but I had a great day with some great people, and to finish the day off I found some decent roads to spank the Z1000 homewards and set a new lap record!

Re: May I introduce myself?
Hi Alan. Thanks for signing up. Sorry to hear you're related to Cavetroll
Nice mix of bikes.
There are rideouts throughout the year. I'll update the events section as they come up.
I do like those 955is. They sound great.

Re: Perkle's new bike
Great write up Cookie.
I saw an orange RC8 on the snake pass yesterday. He was going the opposite way to me but boy was he getting a shake on.
There was a Desmosedici playing up there yesterday afternoon too.

... have been on it all weekend with very good race simulations with consistently low 1.40 laps he can win and will win every where which although great for the stats and creating a legend is not great for the racing IMO?

Re: Headstock Paddock Stand or Abba?
... also it doesn't compress the rear shock like conventional paddock standards so easy to remove rear shock and linkage for maintenance / greasing. Great bit of kit. I have about 5 stands I have collected over the years but if I only had one it would be the Abba. Alternatively if you do want a dedicated ...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Thanks, Kwacky.
It gets a little bit better over each winter. I will owned it for 5 years at the end of the summer.

Watched Django Unchained.
Great film and great story but not sure the graphic shoot out did anything to enhance it.

Re: Owned or ridden one of these?
You know my opinion on my tiger, put it this way, I am lucky enough to have two great bikes, if I was forced to let one go and keep one the S1000rr would go and the Tiger 800xc would stay at this moment in time. It is plenty quick enough to not get left behind, ...

Great fun and very addictive ...

Re: Headstock Paddock Stand or Abba?
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,
