True, but 250-300bhp is where cats start to become a little more competitive, just... A 300bhp golf R is the same 0-60 as a 50bhp bike

My mate kept, thinking his 2.0l corsa is quicker than my 18 year old bike.... i proved him wrong

cars just feel claustrophobic with lack of vision.

Arghh, wipe that horrid stuff off ASAP, don't stand there taking pictures of it like a mongoloid!

The wheel is powder coated, brake fluid wont harm it.

Got soaked this morning, was too self conscious about those waterproof trousers as I had to get some petrol and go into the shop

Hope it stops raining tomorrow when I start my training.

rofl, the Richa Rain Warriors? They're not that bad!

I like mine. They're only just baggy enough to get them on with a boot, plus they have the two velcro points to tighten them up.

Yeah

I'll get a photo of them later, they are mahoosive on me, I put both my legs into one side yesterday just to show how baggy they are, they are a 32" waist too

I doesn't matter what you look like in winter, long as your warm n dry. Biking in winter is manly, not a fashion show

you should see the second hand goretex hein gerickes i managed to bag for £22 for last winter, they were two sizes to big and i looked like a hobo, was i dry... hell yea, was i warm.. so toasty, i soon got over how i looked.

Why don't you just buy waterproof textiles, I have a merlin jacket and trousers which I only paid £120 for from my local CMC.
They keep me warm and dry, they are also comfortable and they look good.

Captain · 30 Oct 2015 at 13:56

My top half and feet were dry, my jeans let me down

Loads there,cheap

TallPaul_S · 30 Oct 2015 at 15:42

Yeah I have the richa waterproofs but they're for summer when it's too warm to wear my thick textiles. If it's raining now the proper textiles come out.

Although I was very impressed with my Furygan water repellent leather jacket last night, got caught in the rain on the way home and apart from a little water coming in through the zip at the top, I was dry - and it doesn't hold onto the water like most leathers. I'll get the leather trousers next spring, will make a good touring outfit, light showers won't be a problem.

You'll like the sdoc chain cleaner stuff then. Once you've sprayed it on and left for around 30 mins, you just spray off with the hose and a little bit of rubbing to get the slightly tougher stuff off. Had my chain looking new in a few mins with the stuff . No mess at all and cleans up your sprocket nicely as well.

Is this the right SDOC cleaner?

Gonna order some castrol racing chain lube and some of this too if it's as good as you say

Yep, that's the one. Slightly cheaper here: http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/97037. Some will hate me for recommending it as you can get as good results with paraffin for a fraction of the price, but paraffin is nowhere near as mess free or easy.

If you like the Castrol stuff, you can buy a box of 6 bottles off eBay for £40 which makes it £6.66 a bottle - very cheap.

Ok, I finally got around to finish the ad, anything I should add or remove from the ad?

ConTRo13R · 30 Oct 2015 at 19:59

Good luck with the sale, sounds honest enough.

wazza300 · 30 Oct 2015 at 20:05

I wouldn't have mentioned the broken alternator or included a pic of it,and the pic with two ktm's is a bit confusing?

upto you though,its your ad

IC3 · 30 Oct 2015 at 20:06

Should I remove it then?

wazza300 · 30 Oct 2015 at 20:07

I would if it were me,but its your bike/ad do what you wanna do

only mention it when they turn up to look and ask you about it ect

(prepare for a lot of timewasters,but stick with it,i sold a 125 on there sweet as a nut)

IC3 · 30 Oct 2015 at 20:23

I'll leave it on, if I was looking at the ad seeing someone being honest I would have went for it. I can always edit the ad, there's tons of teenagers passing their CBT's everyday, not many of those KTM's around my area anyways.
