Coume

Hello, As posted in another thread, my rear tyre is punctured and needs replacing. My front is a BT-021, less than 1,000 miles so don't really fancy replacing it. I am thinking of installing a BT-023 at the rear, ride front BT-021/rest BT-023 until the front needs changing (3k/4k max) and then move onto BT-016PRO front and BT-023 rear. Would you see any issue riding a combination of BT-021/BT-023 and then BT-016 Pro/BT-023? The other option is too install Pilot Road 3 both front and back and try selling on ebay my front BT-021 but are the Pilot Road 3 really that much better in the wet to justify the over spending? Any advice / comments will be more than welcome. Thanks Ludo

Thanks guys. I had a decent quote for the mobile fitting so will go that way. The back tyre almost had 7,000 miles so needs soon replacing anyway. Just need to decide on the tyre but will post a new topic for tyre. Thanks

Hello, I noticed on Friday that my tyre was flat, I reinflated it to check it was not some kids that would have deflated it and in 24h it was completely flat again. I just tried looking for a puncture but none is obvious. There are 4 spots/marks that could be the puncture but I cannot feel any air coming out of them so I cannot use a repair puncture kit I made the following measurement 11.40 - 43PSI 11.55 - 42PSI 12.10 - 41PSI 12.25 - 40PSI 12.40 - 39PSI Would the tyre deflate faster while riding with me on it or should I still expect a 1 PSI/15min deflation? Would it be safe to ride 10miles at slow/normal speed to go to the closest tyre fitting place (with does wheel removal) with such tyre? Or should I buy something like the "motul - Tyre Repair" to be 100% safe? I heard that it would be a pain to clean/remove so I am hesitant to use it Any advice/comment would be welcome. Thanks Ludo

Thanks. I will book it today. This track does not seem amazing but I'm sure it will still be fun

Hello, As I will be doing 2 trackdays soon and knowing my luck, it will be pissing down so I am wondering what kind of rain protection you use? Do you use a normal oversuit without knee sliders cut as it is very unlikely that you will have you knee down on a wet day? Or do you have one of the Respro 2 piece rain suit with knee slider holes, etc? Thanks Ludo

Hello, I am doing a track day at Three sisters on June 9th with the i2i Motorcycle Academy. I have further training with them on June 11th and 12th and was going to go ride in the Yorkshire dales on the 10th but I just noticed that hottrax are doing a novice day @ Darley Moor on the 10th. Would you say that 2 track days (both novice) in a row is too much? Or would it be ideal to put into practice everything that I will have learned the day before? Thanks Ludo

Hello, My leathers are size 50 EUR/ 40UK. I need to buy a waterproof oversuit in case of unforecasted rain but the question is: should I buy an oversuit size 40 (size of my leather) or should I go for a size 42? Am I correct assuming that oversuits already include leeway to easily fit over leathers? Thanks Ludo

Thanks a lot for this link. The Floor Standing Biker Tidy is exactly what I have been looking for. As soon as I get my pay check I will buy one of them Thanks Ludo

Hello, I just bought my first leathers at the week-end but I have absolutely no ideas how to care for them? It seems that going under the rain with them would damage them, which is understandable so I was wondering if anyone has any product to recommend to waterproof leather? Do you also know any good product to keep your leathers in great conditions? Thanks in advance. Ludo

eheh. They fit fine for the chest, I'm a 38" chest so with the backprotector, 40" leathers is good. The waist is a bit too large but nothing crazy. Anyway being a 28/29" waist, I always struggle a lot to find perfect fitting clothes. I'm too skinny

Hello, I just bought my first leathers yesterday and I'm delighted with my purchase. I bought this one but in black from George White http://www.georgewhite.co.uk/images/shop_products/large/504888_0301.jpg. They don't even list it on their website as they had only one in stock, which was fitting perfectly At 399GBP instead of 999GBP for a Dainese suit (Puma Branded), I'm very happy... I also bought a new lid to replace my HJC HQ-1. It was only 1y old and was working great but the pinlock visor were not fitting properly so decided to get an Arai. I went for an Arai Chaser (was also a bargain 169GBP instead of 369GBP). http://www.georgewhite.co.uk/images/shop_products/large/chaser20spike20r20detail.jpg Does anyone have any experience on either of these kits? Thanks Ludo

Hiya, I just went to my local HG as my Alpinestars 365 gloves started leaking and without any fuss, the guy ordered new ones for me. I have to say that I find it very good customer service and I believe that I will buy all my gloves from them in the future. Anyway that got me wondering what was the Infinity warranty like? Does any of you already exchanged gloves with them for faulty lining or leaking gloves? Thanks Ludo

Thanks again for the feedback. I kept them as they were a bargain, I spent my Saturday walking around the house with 2 pairs of ski socks (that was slightly painful at the beginning...) and now they fit perfectly. I just came back from a ride, they don't feel tight anymore, they are not painful, perfect

Thanks for the answer. I guess I will keep them and see how it goes after few miles in Ludo

Hello, I just bought some Sidi Mega Vertigo online and I am not sure what to do :/ Basically, they are Size 8 / 42. The left foot is fitting perfectly but the right one is tight at the toe slider. If I was to get a larger size the left one would be way too big... So being leather boots, I am wondering if they will stretch a bit or will stay the same? I tried the right one without the inner sole and it fits perfectly so I was considering to use the right one without inner sole but could that damage the Goretex membrane? Saying that I'm not even sure if there is a Goretex membrane in the sole, it may only be in the side? What do you think guys? Thanks Ludo
