Old School

[TIM80]

All you hear today on new motorcycles is wether it has ABS , Traction Control, Slipper Clutch, Ride Modes, Cruise Control and other rider aides . Have we all gone soft ? Are we trying to circumvent Darwin's natural order of selection ? Whatever happen to riding by the seat of your pants and using a bit of wrist control ? I love my old school MT09 and A mode is the only mode for me.

Wore the seat of my pants out, but my wrist control is still good.

Is that for biking or other things though mate?!

I've got my Sporty for when I want old school riding. I bought the MT for a bit of new school fun.

At my age it is for biking

I know what you mean Bloggsy save the left wrist for other things, using a fork and the like. But thankfully though at least modern bikes do have decent brake. My old british bikes you may as well have pulled the clutch in for all the good the brakes were in those days.
