3km square garden you say... No dirtbikes?

Well an 800m2 plot for the house and garden and the rest are fields we own.

I think you'd get shot for having scramblers here

Edit: The pizza aftermath:

Words cannot describe how hot this is! I had the phone in there for one second and it was almost too hot to touch.

So reading your post on the other thread, do you think I will need to fit my oem silencer back?
Shouldn't be louder than 80db right? do you know the rpm for that?

Is it loud enough to draw attention is the main question. We're avoiding some of the more retentive areas so as long as it's not obnoxious (and you don't upset my lovely neighbours) you should be fine.

Don't remove the baffle anywhere in Europe though if your aftermarket exhaust has one. If you don't have one, put the stock cans back on.

The official limit is the db rating of the vehicle as it left the factory, and should be stamped on the vehicle's your VIN plate. My Street Triple is (for some bizarre reason) 94db!

I'd probably risk it.

 

[Kreeeee]

Responded.

 

[Kreeeee]

Thanks a lot. Day 5 is the one I'm least sure about do I really appreciate that.

 

[Kreeeee]

If you arrive on Saturday evening I can plan an extra day's run on Sunday.

 

[Kreeeee]

Yeah you've already thought of that with the Jura mountains ride as an extra I thought?

Actually I would prefer to reverse the Susten-Furka-Grimsel loop as it's magnificent and very different both ways.

I'll need to look at hotel reservations soon.

I'd love to come along, but my 125 will struggle with highway speeds I think! Need to get myself into gear and pass my mod1 and mod2 tests!

I'd probably draw the line at 125's too to be honest. 35bhp plus is needed for some of the passes we will be taking.

 

[Kreeeee]

I did the Jaun-Pillon-Mosses route today as a test, it was awesome as expected

 

[Kreeeee]

I'm going to be sitting my direct access mod2 test this November (fingers crossed I pass). I'm also a full-time student, so don't have to worry about the dates.

Given the following:

* Riding my YBR125 since January 2016
* 16+ hours on road training on a ER6-N (650cc, 71hp)

And provided I pass my mod 2 and source a reasonably powered bike this year (600cc+) do you all think it's a good idea for me to do join in on the reserves list at this stage?

You'll be fine

Your ride to the alps will give you more than enough training to ride with us once you're here.

 

[Kreeeee]

Brilliant,

Looking forwards to this if I come off the reserves list

What's stopping you confirming?

I'm going to have to set a deadline at some point next year so I can book the hostel, unless we decide we can do all the trips in a day.

 

[Kreeeee]

He can fail every month for eight months and still pass in time

 

[Kreeeee]

Ok, then we are fully booked. I haven't forgotten you Gilly, and your place is still reserved if you want it.

Mt07 would do fine for the trip.

 

[Kreeeee]

400ft? Some of the drops are over a kilometer!

 

[Kreeeee]

Just been doing some of my routes on Tyre, **** me the Swiss don't half love a tunnel!! 6km, 16km...

 

[Kreeeee]

The tunnels are awesome because they reduce traffic on the mountain passes.

 

[Kreeeee]

Well done, by skin of your teeth but it's not surprising in this weather.

Can you guys PM/Trust me your mobile number if you are not in the Whatsapp group please. You are missing out on every picking on Luke.

Ehat bike are you going for?

 

[Kreeeee]

It was silly stuff - undue hesitance, slow control/balance but probably a hangup from going from my 125 to a 650 in the same morning.

I'm looking to get a Kawasaki ER6F, a Honda CBR/CBF of some sort, or perhaps a Suzuki Bandit or a Yamaha MT07.

I'm planning to look around properly next Tuesday or this coming weekend

All great bikes except the ER6.
