Re: Hand Guards

... if so is the lack of the weight on the end of the bar going to cause lots of extra vibrations ??? I don't know the answer to the question, but other more smarter peeps on here may do..

Re: Annual Isle of Man Trip

It's a suggestion thread. If no one is interested it won't happen. If you want to propose some other dates throw them in the ring.

I like them mate!! They look pretty snazzy.

And as you say, any additional signalling which other road users may see is a bonus

Wasting my time. Went to a settlement meeting. The other side refused to make an offer (facepalm). They simply told us our opening offer was too low. Close friends of ours were on that particular roundabout with an Ins Co that has the letters V&L ...

Re: Cadwell Park Track Day - SUNDAY 6th July

All booked up.

As mentioned in the other thread, Inters fullly booked - have gone for the novices as I am nowhere near quick enough for fast.

Trackdays - Moving on up

... as to booking in the inters. But I am also aware that being in Novice's when you can ride at a reasonably quick pace is no fun for me or the other riders in the group. I am looking at booking cadwell, what would your thoughts be on booking into the inters? It is quite a difficult and tight ...

First gen daytona 675 quickshifter

... thing - a quickshifter. Obviously the OEM one doesn't fit the first generation bikes so I'm after a stand alone unit and don't want to piggyback another system (like a PC3). I have heard of failures in strain gauge types with friends breaking DynoJet and Triumph units. I'm currently running ValterMoto ...

Re: Squeaky bum time (onboard from snetterton)

Didn't watch all the vid but I'd say you need to move up to inters. Your relative speed to most of the others is too big and recon you'd feel a lot safer in inters. It's much easier and it all flows better when you're arriving at a corner doing similar speeds to the other ...

Engine temps again

Just on the coolant temp note from the other thread, my bike heats up very quickly. When I am doing around 30-40 the temp will rise until the fan kicks in. If I am stopped it will rise quickly to 102 and fan kicks in and it will stay at that ...

I figured I probably wouldn't either, but free is free. I'd expect my other half would though if I'm on the laptop.

Re: Round the world travel on a bike

I feel like I live my life on a very structured plan that consists mostly of putting other peoples' needs first. I'm also a meticulous planner by nature, a worrier, and a calculator of risk/reward.

I envy so much the ability of this guy to do what he did. Massive props!
