  1. Honda V4s have that very distinctive drone with the gear driven cam whine, I think they sound great.
  2. If only they had similar advice about cyclists actually using cycle lanes .
  3. The 2015+ R1 is an absolute weapon of a bike, I’m not sure about getting on one after passing your test in March though, maybe stick with the R6 another year, it’s more bike than you’ll ever need. To be fair though modern litre bikes can be as manageable as you want them to be through the sheer amount of adjustability of the electronics.
  4. Not frowned upon at all around here.
  5. Probably pulled a sickie so he can go out on his bike . I’d not put it past him, either that or he was on the piss the night before!.
  6. Sorry guys I got called in to work as someone else didn’t turn up!, hope you have a great day .
  7. Are you guys still doing this?, I could probably get down there on Monday if you are.
  8. That looks great!, glad to hear you’re enjoying it!.
  9. Nice bike!, I rode a 750 version at an open day Suzuki were doing last summer and really enjoyed it, the exhaust on yours looks great too.
  10. Well, going by a certain HBO series recently just ask a crazy blonde girl and her dragon to help out .
  11. Yeah I have thought about getting a K6/K7 GSXR 600 track bike, I’ve ridden them before on track when I hired one and really liked it, the thing is, the V4 is built for it really it feels like it’s bored and not nearly using its potential on the road so I just have to see what it’s like even if it’s only once, I just need to be really careful!. You are definitely braver than I Either that or far stupider! .
  12. A Panigale V4, not going to be going all out as really don't want to drop it . Bloody hell mate I wouldn't risk the v4 wouldn't it be cheaper to get a track bike? Wouldn't really matter too much if you dropped it Yeah I have thought about getting a K6/K7 GSXR 600 track bike, I’ve ridden them before on track when I hired one and really liked it, the thing is, the V4 is built for it really it feels like it’s bored and not nearly using its potential on the road so I just have to see what it’s like even if it’s only once, I just need to be really careful!.
  13. 32/30 was on my old bike, my current one the reccomended pressures for the road are 33/30!, I've got my first trackday on it next month, Brands GP , no idea what pressures to go for though. What bike is it your tracking? A Panigale V4, not going to be going all out as really don't want to drop it .

  15. I did mine in 2000 so it was before they had all this Mod stuff, just theory and practical but I totally relate, love riding, hated riding for the test!.
  16. I'd drop your tyre pressures considerably from 36/42, last one I ran 32/30, main thing is take your time and get to learn the track, don't feel you need to prove anything, if you're in the novice group and you do feel like you're getting held up, ask to move up to the inters, most importantly stay safe .
  17. I've been wondering this too. I fully expected Drogon to die during the Kingslanding battle. The fact he has came out of it unscathed has got me wondering just how he will get killed off. I don’t think he will get killed off but once Daenerys gets killed he will fly off never to be seen again like some of the dragons mentioned in the books, or he will become Jon’s new best buddy.
  18. You’ll be fine jumping straight back on a 600, just get used to it and take some time building up your confidence, I bet after a couple of days it will be like you never had a break from riding at all .
  19. Yes I have Six. Coincidentally, 16711.gif Yeh you wished , she's safely locked in my basement . It puts the lotion on its skin.....
  20. My bike is compliant yay!, of course there’s the separate issue that if I took it to London and parked it anywhere it wouldn’t be there when I got back as bike theft in London is insane and unfortunately the police arnt well equipped to deal with it no doubt due to policy from the morons in both Westminster and City Hall. OP I hope you manage to get your bike through, having to pay £12.50 for the non privalage of having to ride in that cesspit of a city just isn’t fair!.
  21. Check the hoses to do with the turbo and intercooler too, I had a split in one of the rubber pipes on a car and it did the same thing-no power and really smoky on acceleration.
  22. I don’t think he could be though!, he’s meant to have been around for 1000s of years, the Targaryens have only been around for 300 ish. I just thought the reason he could fly a dragon is because he bought it back from the dead, same as he rode dead horses and stuff?. Him being made of ice and not melting into a puddle from getting a blast of fire that turned normal people to ash was a bit weird but then it was also pretty cool. I thought he was meant to be one of the Andals (sp?) who were in Westeros before the Targerians came over and conquered the land. I assumed he was immune to the dragon fire as he has a thumping great shard of Dragon Glass shoved into the center of his chest which gave him the powers of the Night King. Yup, I had expected a smaller force to hit Winterfell and the main army would continue to march down to Kings Landing. Now Cersei never has to deal with the selfishness of her actions to not defend the realm that she's meant to be protector of. The people of the 7 Kingdoms didn't get to see the Snarks and Grumpkins which they were warned were apocalyptic and therefore think the North men are whining for nothing. Even the Glovers, north men in their own right, didn't see the horror of the Army of the Dead before it was demolished. Agree I'm glad who ended it, but it feels weird having it end so suddenly after such a huge build up. (Also, like I said before, with so many lead characters surviving.) I think quite a few people thought the threat of the Night King was dealt with too quickly. I don't know how it's going to go forward now, Cersei will have some tricks up her sleeve that's for sure, I want to see more scenes with Arya and The Hound together and I want at least one of the dragons to survive the series.
  23. Fan theories are he was a Targayren hence not being able to be killed by fire I don’t think he could be though!, he’s meant to have been around for 1000s of years, the Targaryens have only been around for 300 ish. I just thought the reason he could fly a dragon is because he bought it back from the dead, same as he rode dead horses and stuff?. Him being made of ice and not melting into a puddle from getting a blast of fire that turned normal people to ash was a bit weird but then it was also pretty cool.
  24. I honestly felt it was a bit of an anti climax, the night king and his army have been built up as a huge threat for so long and they were so overwhelmed I was sort of expecting a retreat and regroup. Saying that though I’m not annoyed with how he ended up getting killed like some people are, I was actually quite happy that it wasn’t Jon or Daenerys for a change although I was surprised he survived a direct blast from Drogon.
  25. I sailed when I was young as my mum had always been into it and kind of made us, only dinghy sailing but it was quite an enjoyable way to spend a weekend, I’ve pretty much forgotten everything in the 25ish years since I’ve sailed though!.
