Thanks. Fairly sure the original wasn't Chinese, but strange perhaps for the black plastic surround to just break. Then I rode over it. Anyway, thanks, Bay of E had one and I got that at a good price. Mint and not Chinky.
Hi - I see that most/all posts about using a ZX10 rear shock. Can anyone please tell me if newer versions can be used? For example, 2010-2015. Thank you. :)
Hi - I have for sale a pair of genuine Yamaha soft panniers(and bars) with a genuine Yamaha luggage rack. £160 including postage to anywhere within the UK mainland. Photos on request as I don't think my dumb arse MacBook lets me post them... Thanks. :)
Over the last few years I have stayed at the following hotels across Europe. All I can recommend. My bike has been safe at all, yet sometimes parked right outside on the road. Here goes...
Hotel Restaurant Adler, Bahnhofstrasse 101, 08468 Reichenbach im Vogtland, East Germany. - He closes the...
Hi - Just been looking around, thinking I need to return to a twin as I find the MT-09 closer to a four. I have had a couple of KTMs but am short and they are basically just too big for me. Looking at the BMW R9T, it ticks several boxes, but I'd like to know how well it would perform for, say, a...
I find I never need more than two fingers over the brake and probably cover it most of the time, definitely when I'm crapping it. However, that said, when just bumbling around, will often just use one finger to brake. I am using after-market stubby little levers. As for the clutch, I can pull it...
Interesting reading, all of the above. They are surely there to slow us down, not catch us discreetly. Same old argument. Fund raising. Last week I was riding through Germany, a static camera flashed in my face, so I smiled knowing I was safe...Except I wasn't. A mile or so up the road a police...
Am so excited that I have to tell someone, so its you lot. Leaving for two days ride to the MotoGP race at Sachsenring from Harwich on Wednesday evening on my '15 Street Rally. Just been re-mapped to perfection by Simon ([email protected]). Cherry on the top is that I shall be in the VR46...
Hi - Just to ram it home...I had another re-map for my '15 Street Rally from Simon last week before a few days zipping around Wales. This has transformed my bike entirely. Up until then, I hated the snatchy throttle at closed to open, so rode around in B mode mostly, switching to STD or A only...
Hi - Although I'd only had the bike a few days when I went to Simon, it became more smooth throughout the rev range and less of a snatch at initial throttle. As for fuel consumption, I have no idea. Occasionally I scroll through the dash menu to find the average consumption, but don't believe...
