    Mad Max, Fury Road

    Took myself off to the cinema to watch the new flick, Mad Max, Fury Road. Got to say, it was a real disappointment. None of the roads had any fur on them. Mostly dust, a bit of mud but no fur:(.

    Bridgestone BT30

    Just a quick one... Anyone tried a pair of BT30s on an MT yet? Hear BT 023 fitted as a pair can cause the bike to be less stable at speed.. I know the Road 3and 4 are getting lots of good reviews. Just interested to hear anything on the 30s..

    MT09_Rear fender mod - potential breakthrough for those rainy days

    Howdy. Obviously Yamaha chose looks over practicality when it came to rear fender of the MT09. I have read all the articles relating to third party fenders, from the French, the Brits, the Americans, even Thailand. We all suffer the same fate, Wet back when riding in the rain. You get wet...

    Essential viewing? 'Road'

    Great documentary about the Dunlop family, Joey/Robert/William/Michael. A fascinating, enthralling and somewhat tragic story of an amazing real road racing family. Definitely worth watching. Oh, and Closer To The Edge is also excellent. And Mad Max I'll stop there.

    Anyone got the comfort seat?

    Thinking of getting my hands on a comfort seat, but was wondering what everyone thinks about it and is it worth the money? I have a bad hip and was thinking that a softer seat would reduce the impact of lumps and bumps in the road a little more than the standard seat. Would appreciate any...
