Has anyone been to see the tt races and took your own bike?

I bought a Knox Aegis a few years ago. The same day I bought it I had an unplanned dismount and slid backwards in to a metal post. Anyway, worth every penny as I was able to get up, kick my bike back together and ride home.

Lucky man sort of

I won't ride without mine now...I used to just depend on the padded part of my jacket which I imagine wouldn't do very much

Comfort wise it's spot on and as for safety I don't think you will get any more secure than this... it wasn't cheap like £110 ish it fits under my textile sports jacket perfectly

Just bought this dainese back protector anyone else using them

No , don't bother with an alarm on your bike, going off for no reason drain your battery waist of time... spend your money on getting your garage alarmed .

Madness the things you have to do to have a bike and keep hold of it!

I'm leaning towards a second ground anchor and another chain

Is it worth getting a alarm fitted if so which one? I have a ground anchor and oxford hardcore chain and padlock... plus I have a oxford alarmed disc lock thatcham aproved

If you're tall but not so chunky, I feel your pain. I have a little ritual for trying on jackets; hunching over to see if it sags too much at the belly, moving my elbows back to check if it pinches around my armpits, then finally throwing up a couple of heils to the fuhrer to check the sleeve doesn't ride up too much when my arms are extended

Being serious though, I bought a Held jacket for my wedding and the fit is pretty darn perfect, so I'd recommend giving them a look. Oxford stuff seems to fit pretty well too, but I can't recommend their waterproofing

If in doubt, try to aim for stuff that has lots of adjusters! My winter jacket has adjusters at the waist, chest, upper arms, lower arms, and wrists... Something like that is probably your best bet. Well, or you could buy one you like then get it tailored

Chears pal ill have a gander tonite on the tinternet! And stu I eat many pies I have hollow legs pal

4xl bloody hell mate that would be loose as hell its somthing im going to wear for years pal

Just an example. Try bigger sizes if the jackets don't fit.

I know your being sarcastic but i have thought about that

4xl bloody hell mate that would be loose as hell its somthing im going to wear for years pal

Get longer gloves... Happy to help

Can't bring my self to pay 200 for a jacket that won't fit me

I'm 6ft 5 jackets at xxl fit perfect apart from the arms I don't want a touring jacket I'm after somthing like a sports jacket as I ride a gixer

I've had the k2 and now k7 can't beat a gixer

Does anyone have any ideas I've tried loads of sports textile jackets and everyone of them raise about 3 inches up my arm

Chears stu I drilled the rivet out this morning it's a fiddly job nearly lost my thumb! the neighbours will not be happy

Hi I've just bought a 07 gsxr 1000 it's has carbon company exhausts on it I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience removing baffles

Not needed really I've had one on my gixer in the past it just stopped me trying to find that extra gear that doesn't exist on the motorway...

Same here pal as I said dry weather is a must too! If you know of any other riders the more the better

I had the exact same bike in green with green rims.. Very nice bikes when looked after she just needs a lot of tlc good luck dude!

Congrats! Watch out for those car drivers!

I'm only down the road bud I'm from Widnes have to sort a ride out as soon as weather improves.. I didn't get out on it as much I'd like last year... What year is your gixer?
