... 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 ...

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 ...

It's much easier and it all flows better when you're arriving at a corner doing similar speeds to the other bikes around you.

... natural progression. My Dad used to race go karts, my bro used to race side cars and my unc done a few stints at the TT. I couldn't afford any other form of transport when I was young so had to ride in all weathers. No more though, sunny weather for me only now

Can people share this thread on facebook and other forums? It's a good way to spread the word.

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.

Have a good one Bratty, hope its amazing! I on the other hand am sitting in my office avoiding moving as much as possible as my legs (mainly my thighs) feel like lead after a rather 'spirited' ride for a few hours yesterday morning lol

... lessen the dive and softened the rear by changing the spring, works for me, but may not for you of course. I'm defo no expert though... That's the other path if you have the £€

It was a good starting line up to be fair. It's nice to see other riders getting in there.

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!

I decided to take a run through the gorge and out the other side to see where the road went to, glad I did as it's quite a road and also useful for getting back out to bath / bristol. Then back for some ...

I was speaking to my Dad the other day and he was telling me about his family tree research. He got into it a few years ago and has managed to get a few hundred years of "Itchy's" into his records. It is quite interesting, although ...

... There just sat there parked up covered in dust sheets, idle and dormant. The truth is people are dangerous and what people do is dangerous and other times its nothing more than Bad Sh1t that happens for no other reason than bad luck and that's part of live I'm afraid. I love bikes, I live and ...

I saw this the other day.

The riding of the guy in the orange bib is quite appalling, he is all over the place.

I've seen much worse put up on billboards. Too many people worried abotu people getting offended. I was riding the bike home the other week and nearly rear ended a bus that had stopped in front of me as I got a little distracted by a billboard of Scarlett Johansen in skin tight clothing ...

... boots!! Boots now binned and bought some new short ones, lovely :) (waterproof) yet to test out though. When i took my 748 for MOT the other week, i didn't get all dressed up in full gear. Just jacket, boots, jeans and gloves. Felt very liberating and went for a blast afterwards just ...
