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.

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.

Maybe eBay or a dedicated auction site for bike memorabilia. Probably cost you a fair few £££ though.

I would look at getting a new rear as that is seriously squared off.

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.

Why was Captain Kirk’s wife pissed off? Because William Shatner.

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. -
Bolts on front of Tiger - what ones should I be looking at?
fullscreenaging replied to peatear's topic in Pitstop
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. -

fullscreenaging replied to peatear's topic in Pitstop
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¤cy=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOorOOVwaEu2_s6NPuNsW-4kFfUjZ89l3n8D9Xs0JcdqoRJO7vZveSCQ -
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.

When did you pass your test and how much was it?
fullscreenaging replied to Geordie Oldie's topic in Motorbike Chat
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. -
Panniers Anyone use soft panniers?
fullscreenaging replied to Simon Davey's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
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 -

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. -

I stopped playing just before I found out I needed to start wearing glasses. I did try a couple of times in the social club, but as you say, it’s not good with glasses. Luckily I had lens replacement surgery 3 years ago due to having cataracts (at 50 ffs!) I don’t need glasses anymore I practice twice a week and play on a Wednesday night now.

Good job it wasn’t a Power Stroke

I’ve taken up playing pool again after a 15 year lay off. Before that I played l local league pool for 20 years. I joined a team 3 games into the winter season last year and I’m playing better than I ever did. Loving it!
