  1. Fantastic rubber I had them before, used on track, road and long voyages, last for ever with great grip. Same good tyre is Metzler roadtec and sportec, will not last as Michelis but great grip.

    Now I got Pirelli angel gt with the bike, don’t have enough miles and didn’t go on track yet, but so far it is good tyre, good on dry and wet, just need bit more time to warm up in compare with Michelis.

    Will see how long it will last.

  2. Today in Liverpool with the ship, managed to get out , we are moored at cruise terminal next to the ferris to Isle of Man and already this morning loads of bikes there waiting to get across. Spoke to some of them they booked 4, 5 months ago, ferry and accommodation.

    Unfortunately with my job close to impossible, when I’m home I’m home

  3. It is better if her helmet doesn’t stick over your, my wife is tall and she can almost see over my helmet, on fast rides turbulence and wind blast is much more affecting her helmet than mine.

    So your pillion is considered lucky

  4. Only 750 tfc "factory special" versions I think, there will be a normal one too I believe. Will be cheaper too, the tfc is the one to have tho obviously...

     

    Yes that was I about, one on the photo is tfc limited edition and one to get :crybaby:

  5. Yea there's no way I'd be able to afford one but I don't know its something about the adventure bikes that are beginning to appeal to me, the missus has banned me from getting one though as she considers them too much of an old mans bike :scratch:

     



    The day my Mrs told me I'm not allowed to get a bike would be the day she trips at the top of the stairs and has a Nasty fall .

     

    My ex wife told me I can't have another bike! I bought another bike and that's when the divorce started :D

     

    Good choice anyway, not even new wife can bring so much excitement as new bike

  6. Old fashion driving schools, 30+ years ago said in which gear you are going up the hill in same gear you should go down the hill,

    Simply better control. Otherwise there is one saying that say every poo will go down the hill :mrgreen:

  7. So full license holder for 4 years with 4 years no claims, park on drive with abus disc lock and oxford chain lock, 7k miles a year, social and commuting and for a gsr 750 the cheapest I could get was 580.... and thats with an excess of 1k in the event of a crash, I only put the bike worth 3.7k, the current insurance for my old banger 600 is 190 a year and I done a quote with them and they wouldn't even give me a quote unless it was parked in a shed or garage, I asked him why and he said the value of the bike and because of the type of bike it is they couldn't give me a quote lol, I live in hertfordshire so about 40 mins outside london, however its a low crime rate area but risk of theft is the only thing I can think of that's putting it so high, do I risk saying its worth 1k and hope I don't crash or just suck up and drop 600 on insurance :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby: Oh im 27 if that matters too.

     

    Did u try 3rd party only?

  8. It is good idea to have @ bike of the ground if is not in use for long time. Best stands are those that support bike somewhere on the frame so there is no weight on shocks, and as well keeping tires of the floor without having that weight pressure will prevent lumps, bubbles that maybe you can’t see but definitely will affect your ride.

    All of this is just prevention and special care but not necessary.
