Cameras on your bike.
CGD217 replied to Rider's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Out of curiosity, what do people use for Editting software ? -
Ditto. Doing it on the drive isn't ideal
-
I've never been and was thinking about going what exactly is there ?
-
I've never had a two stroke but I had a YBR 125 which was actually quite fun. Watching that reminds me of hooning around on it

Ive got a Drift HD Ghost. I don't ride without it even if its just the 2 mile across town to my girlfriends. The Ghost S has better night recording, less grainy but isn't a problem on the original Ghost unless you are on unlit roads. I'm looking into getting a second cam to rear mount on my bike but would be something cheaper than the Drift. -
Have fun, I had never ridden before and the CBT was fun, hard but fun.

Decent will have to go have a look

First off i wouldn't worry about the tyre size. I used to have a YBR 125 until recently and got some pretty good lean angles and it was fine on 60mph roads and twisties. See the image below for how thick the tyres are on that! http://www.reviews66.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/yamaha-ybr-125-back-view.jpg I think a lot of it comes down to confidence and practice, just get out there and you will naturally get better. Thats what happened to me and still does. As i read somewhere on here, most of the time the riders skill will run out before you reach the limits of what a bike can do during a corner. So just get out and try to enjoy, Practice makes perfect.

Which luggage option?
CGD217 replied to al_stu's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
I did this on the YBR, non slip mat under the tank bag, going down a fast A Road, doing around 60 and the tank bag flies up and i catch it, good thing the headstock clip was on! Don't know where the mat went, i couldn't find it -
Which luggage option?
CGD217 replied to al_stu's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
I have a top box on my xj6 as it came with it, not a massive fan of the rack but it actually isn't too bad. The box is very useful I've only used it a couple of times though. I did notice that it made a minor difference at speeds over the national limit making the back end move a bit (on private roads of course). But within normal limits it has been fine and hardly notice it. I have a Oxford magnetic tank bag and it scratched up my YBR's tank so I haven't used it on my new bag. I was thinking about getting one of these: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 0784608568 Expensive but no scratching! The tanklock system looks great -
OMG I WAS TERRIBLE!!!
CGD217 replied to RyanAyr's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
I was crap on my CBT too, i was with 2 lads who had been riding for years so i was instantly nervous and didn't feel i'd had enough time to go through things correctly since i'd never ridden before. I started to grasp it but never went out on the road. I went back a week later and everything felt natural, all the manouvres and the changing gears, clutch work was all easy and then we progressed onto the road. I had a blast and haven't looked back since. Just try not to be so hard on yourself, be more confident and don't tense up, oh and most importantly, enjoy it!! -

Luggage for the XJ6
CGD217 replied to YamahaWolf's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
Quite a nice box, I've got a Givi Simply that came with the bike and the Yamaha rack, I see yours doesn't replace the million grab handles. Also how do your panniers connect to the bike I'm assuming they will mount to that givi rack you have some how -
I have the diversions s, I think they are great bikes. Mine is my first big bike still restricted to 33 bhp and it pulls like a missile (coming from a 125 anyway ) I love mine
-
yeah but you are only lifting one wheel so isn't carrying all the bikes weight Picked up a mini alarm from Aldi the other day, PIR sensor with built in 105 dB alarm and 2 remote fobs, £7.99 including batteries! that'll do nicely for the garage Darn may go see if they have any left

Modifying bike boots
CGD217 replied to al_stu's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
My OH has the same problem at the moment she has ankle boots but she is dying for some race boots, may have to give SIDIs a try -
Very good, I had a look myself I got the base layers. The boots are the same as last year and they didn't look too good, we tried them on last year and they weren't too comfortable. The looks and paddock stands look good but the stand said it was only rated to 200kg but my bike is 215kg so didn't bother.

I've got a Scala rider Q2, pretty decent but its not sold any more. Anything Scala Rider would be good.
