I wasn't overly impressed with the SBS pads yesterday. Clearly they're geared up for the road.

On the track they heated up very quickly and did a great job of stopping the bike, but they're very wooden. There was very little feedback from them and they were a bit grabby.

I had a cracking day - the SV is a pleasure at Mallory, and I particularly like the bit when people ask what I've done to the engine to make it so fast ... "Nothing, it's stock" ;-)

Great to meet everyone - promise I'll get along to some of the road events this year!!!

¬For the last 2 years, this bikes been off the road. Had running issues before I garaged it and seem worse than ever now. Bike : Triumph Daytona 600, K&N Air filter, TORs exhaust end can and matching TORS map. Symptoms : From Cold it struggles ...

I love my chaser, but bought a GTAir recently, ideal for road riding, very light, the internal visor is a great addition.

... ensure he will be remembered, he will never achieve anything like this again. It's how they earn their living. They can make some good money from road racing but I do agree that there ought to come a point when you decide that you have pushed your luck far enough with the crashes and walked away. ...

Like Godzilla, I have never found another helmet that fits me better than a Shoei and I currently own a GT Air.. Internal sun visors are so much better for road use.

... got an AGV like this.... http://www.motorcyclenews.com/upload/251293/images/AGV%20offer.jpg But when the Honda eventually makes it on the road....I'm gonna look like a bit of a helmet wearing that on a cafe racer type bike. So, after something I can use on both the Daytona and the CB. ...

... ago. it was a really good night. Obviously Whitham has most of the funny stories to tell, Foggy tells more of the biking tales. I asked them why road racers who are fast at the IOM, can't win short circuit races and vice versa. They were both adamant that if the fastest short circuit guys wanted ...

I got try these out today in standing water and damp roads.

Blimey, talk about stable. For everyday road riding it's like the roads are dry. No movement, no slides, normal braking.

I'm very impressed.

Dry ride in for me but loads of crap on the road.

... allow the kids to climb and jump on the bonnet and roofs. They have a push go karts with solid plastic wheels which makes a right noise on the road and I lost the plot one Saturday morning at 8am when they were outside, going up and down on this kart but by the time Id got dressed and went ...

I somehow managed to book myself in on this..they rang me up today to say I was booked in but hadn't paid. Looking forward to a bit of off-road fun.

... 200 – 3-5 May 2014 It’s the other long haul race for us driving from Bury (taking 5 hours each way, not helped by the seemingly permanent road works on the A11). This was also one of last year’s bogey tracks for me, where I notched up my only DNF to date (A very wet race last year where ...

... to change a couple of lightbulbs (facepalm). Anyway, Martin is going to have a word. Perkles, Martin still has a track bike but he's more into off road now,. He's been doing those BMW off road days and he loves it. Change a couple of light bulbs??? Stick them up his arse more like. :@

Monty - no trams in Brum for a couple of years. Cookie - we know the owner of the house. Perky knows him as well, he used to live at the top of our road and owned a Kwak. Myrs Kwacky is going to call him today. Perky - You're more than welcome to. Deegee - your's sounds 50 times worse. I suspect ...

... point out that kids are supposed to do that, rather than scream the house down at 2am. So after that we've left them to it. We live in a terraced road. There is a tree on the pavement outside my neighbours house. For the 15+ years we've live there we and a few of our nearby neighbours have put ...

... agree with all the above, fecking Civil servants without a clue, doing what looks right as opposed to what is right. Can see an awful lot of off- road bikes and some road bikes having problems with tanks falling apart, my old Tiger has got a plastic tank, guess it's just a matter of time for it.

Good write up Kwacky and enjoyed reading it sounds like a very good road tyre. I thought the comment on the carcass feeling soft was interesting as from personal experience I have always found the same with Pirelli and Metzler tyre's which is a trait I like ...
