  1. I shall be eagerly waiting for the free practice results before I make my changes.
  2. Can you get your knee down on ice though ? Good question, I want to know how many riders on this forum actually goes out and practices this when the roads are icy!
  3. Happy Birthday!! hope you're having a good one!
  4. Yes they are. lol, would have been odd if they didn't since they did the other two.
  5. I can't vouch for Zero 3 but I do own a pair of Zero 2 and they are my go to pair of gloves when I ride in the winter,I can say they provide decent protection and warmth for my commute to work. I also swap them around from time to time with my Richa Cold protect gore-tex gloves but they don't provide as good protection as the Zero 2.
  6. Congrats man! Well done you!
  7. I have in the past listened to music when I was commuting to/from work, mainly to kill boredom when stuck in traffic. Most of the time I don't realise the music is playing in the background until I have stopped at the lights; I also only have one earphone on as having two would be slightly dangerous IMO.
  8. Like this race's 2nd place rider, I'm edging closer and closer to [mention]rennie[/mention]'s position! I would have hoped for a different result but I'm happy to see my namesake on the podium.
  9. What a race, somehow I made good predictions in that race....by luck.
  10. Hi Mike, How are you getting the bike then? Is the seller going to drop the bike off or are you going to meet the seller at theirs? Personally I won't buy anything on just photos alone as there is no telling when the photos were taken. Also is it a commercial or private seller that is selling this bike? All the questions you have mentioned in your post are things you should inspect when you are physically next to the bike as you're just blind trusting the seller to not lie to you on their responses.
  11. Even though I have Apple TV, I plan to watch this once the whole show is out. I'm in the I've watched the other two so may as well watch this one camp. It has been ages since the last two came out so I hardly remember anything about them but I did find the trailer for this one funny when all the kids didn't seem to know what Star Wars are,
  12. Yeah, you could drink that one by itself and not need to add it with anything which is very nice indeed.
  13. Happy birthday [mention]Tiggie[/mention] I fully expect you to be drunk at this hour but if not, you should start! Hope you had/having a good one! Edit: Dude, I'd drank that exact same whiskey the other night, it's nice right? https://gfycat.com/zanytinyanole
  14. Happy belated Birthday Rob!! Hope you had a good one.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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!
  19. It really was a great last lap. Still everything to play for in the championship. I wonder who's going to win this year.
  20. 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.
  21. 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

  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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".
