  1. Happy belated Birthday Rob!! Hope you had a good one.
  2. oooooooh it's on!!! In fairness, you have always been 2nd since this league started but unless we pull off an miracle win over [mention]rennie[/mention], my best chance is to get 2nd at the end of this.
  3. Yay, I’ve managed to reclaim 2nd place from Hoggs! All my riders didn’t do well however I’ve been lucky with the results...for now.
  4. I'd really like quatararo to stay on top but his form has dropped off slightly in the last few races, I think it's going to be dovi's year this time round though its anyone's guess at this stage Thriller Miller is doing great just now too, it's a tight top 3 just now. We'll know in 2 weeks if there is going to be a change in the championship race.
  5. I ditched Vinales for Binder which paid off I've still stuck on the same riders as I'm hoping the ones who are doing bad would regain their composure and get better results in the latter stage of the competition. Though I admit, Binder is getting stronger and stronger with each race; what a rookie!
  6. It really was a great last lap. Still everything to play for in the championship. I wonder who's going to win this year.
  7. I did terrible on this race as I bet on the wrong riders.Also [mention]Hoggs[/mention] has managed to reclaim 2nd (well done!) What a race though, so happy for the one who won it as he was very humble in the post-race interview.
  8. Yes, it does, the right one is slightly bend out of shape. Edit: I should add that it is stock bar end weights. Does your bike feel more vibey since the drop ? if it does the vibes are from that event, I'd check head stock bearings, front wheel bearings & anything that might vibrate in the air stream. Good luck I'm not sure, I only rode the bike a handful of times before it fell so maybe there was always a slight vibration on the bike that I never noticed; I only started riding the bike properly a month before lockdown and by then the bike already had a cracked mirror. I'd thought changing the mirror would have fixed the vibrations. Unfortunately I've dropped the bike a few times on the same side whilst wheeling the bike into the bike bay. When I mean "drop" I mean seeing the bike fall but my left hand was still holding the left handlebars as it fell on it's side; kind of like slowly putting the bike on it's side. but really

  10. I've checked all the bolts on the fairing and they seem tight and secure but there are some cracks on the vents area on the cowling. It must have cracked when the bike hit the ground. I've tried repositioning the mirror again just there and the vibration no longer moves when the bike is idle, it now only starts when the bike is moving.
  11. Is there any way of mounting some rubber between the mirror arm and where it fixes on to that may help reduce/cure the vibration I believe there is a rubber bit that holds the mirror mount in place before it touches the fairing, I did try re-positioning it to see if it was not positioned correctly earlier but it's not solved it. The left mirror has a slight vibration too but it's not as noticeable as the right one. I should have mentioned that the bike did fall on the right side so the vibration is worst on that side.
  12. I think there was a slight vibration before (after it fell) but the mirror wasn't shaking as bad as it is, I'd just assumed it was because the mirror had cracked. Saying that, it's not shaking that bad, it's just I can notice it more now even though the mirror is "new".
  13. During Christmas time, my bike fell over due to high winds and it cracked my right rear view mirror. I've finally got round to replacing it today and now it's got a slight vibration whenever the bike is running. I have tried loosening/tighten the bolt that fixes the mirror in place but it's not fixed the vibration completely, do anyone have any suggestions what I should try next? I read there was these mirror vibration absorber that I could buy but its got mixed results from different folk online. I've only ridden my bike for a short run today to test the mirrors out but not tried it at high speeds so no idea if it's going to be worst if ridden on the motorway. in theory, if it's doesn't get worst, I could probably get used to it. I always do a lifesaver check before I change lane anyway so not completely dependent on the mirrors.
  14. Just caught up on the race, I bet on the right rider to win but my other rider no so much. Well done [mention]rennie[/mention], still holding onto 1st!
  15. I'm hoping for a good result tomorrow as my main riders are in good positions!! Maybe we'll finally catch up to [mention]rennie[/mention]
  16. I'm going to have to base all my predictions on the first 2 Free Practice sessions as I'm going fishing early doors tomorrow.
  17. Just think, your next birthday and you're a dad!
  18. Why would I buy a bike from myself ? That's the prestige of your trick! I was joking though on my original post.
  19. Happy birthday [mention]Richzx6r[/mention]!!!! Hope you had a good one!
  20. I wonder if that school is still running? Maybe that's [mention]fastbob[/mention]'s mobile number there?
  21. Shes a personal trainer I believe and she was working for herself last I knew Oh right, hopefully she'll check back in soon then.
  22. Maybe she's gone back to work so has not had a chance to check in?
  23. I wish I got 30 weeks off. Saying that though, I've been working from home for exactly 20weeks now and looking back it doesn't feel like I've been working at all as no traveling to go to work has made me think I haven't been working. It's a strange feeling.
  24. Hello. Before getting my bike license, I did consider getting a MP3 500 but ultimately that model was considered a trike so won't be allowed in the motorcycle bays? (From what I read anyway, only the Yourban models are allowed in bays)
  25. It is quite difficult to improve the scores without changing almost all the riders in that last race.
