Troy

For some reason, I read this comment as “Bike Tyre-son” thinking you was being funny Sorry, it’s Friday and I just finished a gym session. I’ll see myself out….

Yes, I agree with that! I have to have a destination and a purpose to go out such as meeting up with some friends or family or a day trip somewhere. I’m not one for going out and just seeing where the road takes me.

That’s the thing though, I really like the bike I have! One day, I’d like to get a second bike. I have a soft spot for a Street Triple, I’d happily own another one of those.

This could very well be ANOTHER one of my strange threads but bare with me if you can….. Just this year, I have noticed I’m not really that fussed about riding anymore. Which is strange really because I was hyped to see Rossi at Brands Hatch, I even got the BSB booked in for July, and I was excited to see the TT on TV again except I didn’t make any time to watch it despite me subbing to it. I’m into my cars as well and I’ve just purchased myself a new Fiesta ST which is loads of fun to drive. Though not as quick as my bike, it still puts a smile on your face, especially with the limited slip diff Anyway….. am I starting to fall out of love with riding or is this just a normal phase that happens among us lot? Has anyone else felt something similar?

My first time. Was a great day out and Rossi was on it as always, but not the same as seeing him on 2 wheels. Still enjoyable and will go again He was pushing it hard!! If you look closely, (not the best quality, sorry) he had the car on 2 wheels around this corner….

See my review….

My owners manual says 42 at the rear and 36 at the front…. Guessing this should be ok then?!

Had to get two new tyres done today after a puncture that was soo big it couldn’t be plugged and the front was on its limit any way. The only tyres they had in stock was the Pilot Powers. Has anyone used them before? Can you give me your ratings? I'm coming from Pirelli Rosso 3s. Ride at weekends with some “spirit” but no heroics.

I’ve seen many use tinted visors but I am just trying to get an idea of how likely it would be to get stopped. Assuming “PC Plod” isn’t having a bad day….

Obnoxiously loud?

I suppose it does come in many forms. I know an individual who melts his Ben & Jerry’s in the Microwave and allows it to cool before consuming it. To me that’s just not right

This is the General Chat section isn’t it?! The amount of **** that I’ve seen posted on here before, I thought it wasn’t out of place?

Or suck em’…..

McVities Digestives. The only biscuit that’s never not in the cupboard. Jaffa Cakes don’t go in the cupboard due to being consumed after checkout. Assuming we all class it as a biscuit and not a cake?!

It’s finally back on this year. Anyone coming to attend or thinking about it? I should be there this year. Happy to meet up with others along the way or at the event.

I know this isn’t a brand new part or the best condition but it’s better than what you got now https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233124948628?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338268676&toolid=10044&customid=CjwKCAjwoduRBhA4EiwACL5RP1Z1bvaKo2C7W-NDbLVVxYnyefGoWqGtf0xMtk5hukzd3UvIqKr2DBoC5oMQAvD_BwE

The ad description doesn’t say much about where they got them from except they were “made” to look this way. I’ll take a stab (pun intended) that they are as sharp as they look if they have been made custom. Can’t imagine you’d have any fingers or thumbs left during a collision…..

Sounds like a Strip Club to me……

Yes and I do plan to go and look at them in person at some point.

I’m in the market for a new lid. My local (and trusted) dealer recommended I try a Kabuto Helmet. Until today, I never heard of the brand before. In brief, I believe they are made and sold by Honda (open to confirmation). Has anyone had any experience with the brand name before? Or would you recommend something entirely different?

YES!! I will help out and do my part…..

I’ve been meaning to clean my motorcycle rims for a little while now but I keep putting it off because of how long and tedious it can be. I am open to suggestions and little tips that make things easier for cleaning the wheels. Are there any specific products or little “hacks” with stuff you might have in the kitchen cupboard or shed? I’m more focused on the rear wheel as it takes a lot more punishment from chain grease and stuff. Please bear in mind, that my wheels will be pretty dirty since I haven’t touched them since I got the bike well over a year ago (I know… I’m suffering now for it)….. so I’d like to hear the most efficient methods you may have.

Yes, it has 8 pins (ignore the quote above, for some reason it wouldn’t allow me to type my reply so I replied in a new post instead.)

Need to replace a charging cable for my helmet intercom. It’s a cheap unbranded “knock-off” I got from eBay yers ago so I can’t look up the manufacturer. Here are some pics…. Your regular USB at one end…. and the mystery one at the other 5mm wide and 2mm thick….
