Yeah that's where I go the information from, I don't think I saw one that said more than 40% lol

I've gone off flip helmets since I found out they only have a 40% chance of staying shut and intact in a serious crash.

However that looks pretty good! If it comes in other colours I may buy one.

lmao i would but after shes buying me a bike i realy dont want to ask for more...

 

If she's already giving you that much what's an extra couple of quid?

Also, I hear there's whips involved lol

My bike is in the garage waiting for some guys insurance to cough the money up to repair it at the moment, hope it's fixed in time

I've still not thought of a decent fancy dress either

They started it last year I believe but I've never been myself, let me know what it's like if ya go

You mean here?

Yeah I'll be meeting there hopefully

Chris if you'll be going near loughborough on your route we could meet up then go the Newark rondevu point.

You wouldn't recomend going commando underneith then?

 

Definately not lol

If it's cold I wear jeans though it's fairly tight thing, if it's warm maybe some shorts or thing 3/4 trousers?

If it's hot and I'm not planning on taking them off then just my boxxers

Depends, it could be a form of restriction like you get on 125s or bikes that are restricted to 33bhp

This would mean it wouldn't actually be able to rev to the red line or anywhere near it and so wouldn't be use it's full potential.

A way to test this if you have a rev counter on the bike is to see if you can get the needle any where near the red line (neutral gear, clutch in to be sure and rev it).

If it reaches red line on the rev counter or near enough then it either doesn't have one or there is no point removing it.

As for how to remove it I can't help there sorry.

You mean the McD's? Sounds as good a place as any

a newark meet up would be good, ill probably meet you all there if you passing through

I will be going, not sure if i will be in loughborough or ollerton yet though so don't know where I'll be meeting people

Anyone out an about this afternoon? Will be going for a ride out about 1715 then heading off to six hills if anyone wants to meet up.

Maybe out this afternoon at some point as well

I'm planning on going for a nice ride tomorrow evening. Starting at loughboroughh and finishing at 6 hills.

The route I will be doing is on this website HERE

It will be the top half of the top route and I will be stopping at six hills on the second bit wher you go nearby.

If anyone wants to meet up and do the route with me drop me a message or text me. Number is in the contacts section.

I went to that loads last year, was really good, though dunno when it starts I'm afraid, not seen any signs up and there is nothing on the website

Damn it, why are these things always when I'm at work? Oh yeah, I'm an idiot and work most weekends lol

look on ebay mate, you can get some really good deals for pairs on there,

There is a company on there who does pretty much any tyre, any size for a reasonable price, single or pair.

I just take it to one of them polish hand car wash places every so often.

Just have to make sure you start it asap after they finish n get rid of the water that gets in the engine.

They do a fantastic job though (well most of them do!)

one of the first things I was told about when doing my cbt was of a guy going around a right hand bend and leaning to far and getting decapitated by a lorry. Great confidence boost! I still love both though I'm more confident at leaning over in the lefts.

In the loughborough area there are two routes that have some of the best roads in the area in them

A6006 and A512

Sounds like and amazing pass mate!! Well done!!!!

yep...ive got a pair of sidi's too - cost me about £170, i love them - i think they look great and they are very good for protection too

Got the same boots and love them, they're extreamly comfortable though not entirely weather proof, though they're pretty good to say I've never put any nikwax on or anything. Paid £145 at BMF

Before them I had Sidi vertigo boots which I did treat with nikwax once in a while, used them in one of the most server storms I've seen and took them off when I got home to reaveal bone dry feet!

Sidis are really comfortable and will last you years, though the initial depreciation is horiffic.

EDIT: Just like to add just how comfortable they are, I've put them on instead of trainers to go round town before and for looks I've worn them to the pub!!

The B6006 is a pretty good road, goes from nr. loughborough to Melton Mowbray. (though google maps seems to think it's the A6006? It's one or the other)

Looks pretty good, maybe there depending on work etc. thanks for the heads up!
