Hoggs

ooooh I think its gonna be a tough call this weekend... @JackieOWheelsyou putting Vinales back in??

Not a huge update since the last one but @oldgrump has taken the lead! And @JRH got a good haul too and honing in on 3rd place! I imagine @mike_smith is out as we speak collecting some more tags though! OldGrump - 1460 Mike Smith - 1350 Mickly - 400 JRH - 370 Paul Kent - 230 Ian Frog - 210 Throttled - 180 JackieOwheels - 170 Stu - 90 Keeper96 - 70 Rennie - 30 TimR - 20 Husoi - 20

I bought my 2001 Ninja in 2016 with just under 15k on the clock. It has over 50k and is still going OK...ish my 2008 750 i just bought has 13k on the clock (laid up since 2013) and here's the thing... BOTH OF THEM SUCKED FOR THE FIRST FEW HUNDRED MILES! Its easy to be alarmed at high milage but very low milage means occasional riders or the bike has been stored for long periods of time which comes with its own set of problems - cracked tyres, cracked rubber pipes, old fuel gunk etc My initial MPG on this one was like 30 which made me cry but giving it some longer rides out its averaged out around 50 which is much better (especially having to spend more on E5 lol) I guess my point is milage isn't the whole story. or something.

sometimes I think you're rooting for Rennie to win this!!!!

omg that went badly. Hoggs' Hooners 1,180.0 rennie 1,169.0 SuzukiRF 878.5

Well... I didn't even consider Pol good on him he deserves a good result

we just watch the highlights on quest. Iddon is having some problems isn't he! also thought it was a bit rich Andy Irwin moaning about hard passes

its a tough one, I don't think its 100% going too slow per se but a mix of undue hesitation showing you're not confident mixed with bad observations of speed limit changes (or at least that's vaguely what i remember being told by my instructor!) on my test I was doing about 25 in a residential 30 but as I did speed up slightly out of the 20 showing I saw the sign and there were loads of cars and stuff the instructor said it was fine

ooh well fingers crossed @Mississippi Bullfrog

Evening *tips hat*

Did he not reply to this? how rude. What an absolute bast*rd. And so old. sooooooooo old

1 Hoggs' Hooners 1,100.0 2 rennie 1,030.5 3 SuzukiRF 811.0 Well.. it could have been worse...Rennie could have closed the gap to me

if anyone claims to have predicted that they're a liar! I have no idea how mine did because my brain hasn't caught up with what the hell just happened!!

my first bike was a ZX6R so as with anything just take it easy and don't get sucked in to going over your comfort zone! if you can go somewhere to try stuff on that's always good and remember you'll be hunched over slightly so make sure you feel you've got good movement. look forward to the pics when you get it!

yeah I just wonder if because it was sat for so long it's gunked up somewhere. Had a little ride out this morning and some MotoGP now so will refiddle later. Nothing ever seems to be easy when I'm involved

Jesus what is this the Spanish inquisition but probably 2 - 3 mins and around 5?

Ha! I took that off shortly after! yeah hadn't been on the road since 2013. Only 13k miles! well...14k now

Well that's not helpful its the wrong colour I know... but I love it a lot Z750

Word up you lot. So my new to me bike came with a scottoiler vacuum system. Now it had been sat up for maaaaaany years and was dry so Filled it up Primed it so oil came out Ran engine. Nothing Checked all connectors, elbow joint to engine vacuum cracked! New one purchased and fit. Ran engine. Nothing. Reprimed so oil came out Ran engine. Nothing Now I don't have any clue about this so any help welcome. I did a bit of googling but other than "check vacuum" it's a bit vague thanks in advance!

top stuff @CaptainB!!!

I dunno I've watched the videos and it's pretty weird. He has a bit of a track record in throwing his toys out the pram. But we will see what happens!!

I wanna go left field and put Nakagami in.... but I'm thinking Mir and Martin have to be sensible options... but when do I ever do sensible....

Sounds better than what I will inevitably do which is swap out someone who will do well for someone who won't

jezuz I feel if you ever had to do a proper weeks work it'd kill you at this point

wtf vinales!!! @JackieOWheels you might want to actually sub him out this weekend!!!!
