  1. Another important reason you should go easy on new tyres is so you can get used to the way the bike reacts. You won’t have noticed it, but you will have been putting more force on the bars in order to get it to tip in off the flat spot of the old tyres. It will be immediately clear that the bike will feel so much easier to roll off the centre of the tyres when they are brand new. Don’t be scared of them, just ride smoothly with no aggressive acceleration and gradually increase your lean angle.
  2. The examiner would have been hit first from behind Yeah always give way to traffic in the major road if you can’t merge. Pisses me off when people force their way onto the major road like they have priority. This is dangerous and can cause big accidents. Not saying you forced your way in. I imagine the examiner knew about the temp 40 limit though as it was on the test route, so knew there would be one of two outcomes. You’ll nail it next time.
  3. ??? You been on the spice?
  4. Well done Kevin Short, sweet and interesting. You actually left me wanting more of the article instead of giving up early. Keep up the good work.
  5. Phillip Island usually throws up some surprises and is not a reflection on how the season will pan out. My top 5 in no particular order A Lowes Iannone Locatelli Bulega Toprak Bautista I know. That’s 6, but I think when Bautista is fully fit he will get to grips with the extra weight. I can’t call a champion just yet, but with Rea out of the picture this year I would like to see Alex take it. This on Iannone https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2020/11/10/andrea-iannone-receives-four-year-ban-after-losing-appeal/163581
  6. Eurosport used to record the WSBK all day. Then a couple of years ago it changed to separate recordings for supersport and superbike, then individual races when it started showing on Discovery+. It’s a pain I the arse trying to get them recorded now. I missed the whole of race 2 on day 2 because of the red flag in the supersport race. I did find it on D+ the next day, but I’d already inadvertently seen the result. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the beginning of the end of WSBK being shown on Eurosport and it going to a paid subscription somewhere.
  7. This is the only image I had in my mind.
  8. Maybe eBay or a dedicated auction site for bike memorabilia. Probably cost you a fair few £££ though.
  9. I would look at getting a new rear as that is seriously squared off.
  10. You can get the most up to date version from here and it’s free. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code
  11. I would spit on it every time you go past and if you can get away with it, piss on it every now and again.
  12. Why was Captain Kirk’s wife pissed off? Because William Shatner.
  13. Looks like that blue stuff gave up a good fight. I wonder how it got up there??
  14. Are you changing the fork oil? After doing such a good on the externals it would be a shame not to do the internals and make the bike ride as good as it’s going to look.
  15. Apologies, I misunderstood your OP You should be able to find a microfiche online for your bike and that will give you the dimensions of the bolts. Then, like you say just get some slightly longer ones. Hopefully you’ve got the right ones ordered already.
  16. I wouldn’t use just a single bolt to secure your mount to. It’ll shake and bounce all over the place. You need at least two anchor points to keep the mount stable. The bar above the clocks looks like a perfect place to look at mounting One on Ali Express https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006012292909.html?UTABTest=aliabtest481469_657498&src=google&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=708-803-3821&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&albagn=888888&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&albcp=17858129175&albag=&trgt=&crea=en1005006012292909&netw=x&device=m&albpg=&albpd=en1005006012292909&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD6I-hHBjMiLeriQxekyT0f2vOoHv&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwbitBhDIARIsABfFYIKUnWmlsx6NNDL3xwYELJCXPjc5xxaLcB1FnsIhjnAGqH3wX6co9DYaAg9WEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&aff_fcid=67d8864db2dc4120bdd9ed40f648f804-1705951322356-05906-UneMJZVf&aff_fsk=UneMJZVf&aff_platform=aaf&sk=UneMJZVf&aff_trace_key=67d8864db2dc4120bdd9ed40f648f804-1705951322356-05906-UneMJZVf&terminal_id=f94011e3f5a64fdf9a16d7b5869761e5&OLP=1086700608_f_group3&o_s_id=1086700608&afSmartRedirect=y FC Moto https://www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.sf/?channable=02099069640039363039323835363884&ObjectPath=/Shops/10207048/Products/"GPS.11.823.10001/B"&Locale=en_GB&srsltid=AfmBOorfWvJUx_Zr8v5z0IIj0upqe1vGKemkj8iIiVAbvsNpWV4qmEJHHJE SW MOTECH https://sw-motech.co.uk/products/gps-mount-for-cockpit-black-triumph-tiger-800-800-xc-xr-10-17?variant=37388636848289&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOorOOVwaEu2_s6NPuNsW-4kFfUjZ89l3n8D9Xs0JcdqoRJO7vZveSCQ
  17. Can’t afford the energy bill to keep them warm enough in the country is my guess They should have reached out to someone, unless it’s illegal to have these animals.
  18. 2006 at the age of 35. CBT Theory 1 hour on a 125. 6 hours on a 500 Test 500 lessons was a couple a week. I had ridden my mate’s bikes illegally for a bit when I was 14 and then 18. I was a Driving Instructor at the time I passed my bike test. Can’t remember how much it was but the CBT was £100 and lessons were about £20. Don’t know how much the theory and test were.
  19. Have a look at the LOMO dry bags. I think they are a better option than soft panniers. It will sit on the rear seat sideways and not make the bike as wide as panniers. Get a set of bungees, or better still ROCK STRAPS to fix the dry bag in place. Use your foot peg to get on and off the bike when the dry bag is on instead of struggling to fit your leg through and over the seat. The side stand will take your weight
  20. ACF50 can reverse rust build up too. Obviously it depends how bad it is in the first place. I would definitely clean it off as best you can then apply the ACF and give it another clean after a week or so. A couple of repeats and I think that should sort it from what I’ve seen.
