Becuase DID chains are awesome?
Also I think Renthal chains need a different tool to fit, they have solid link pins.
Yes they are used many times myself there cam chains are also good.
But I thought you said you had ocd .........
Found Bell RS-1 helmets going for £140:

Yep! Just bought the same one. Silver though. Gold is too bling for my bike
I went gold the first time I changed mine but then realised it makes no difference when is constantly covered in road crap anyway so went silver this time.
I'd like a nice matching chain/sprocket/nuts but that'll have to wait until I have a nice weather bike

Yeah on my commuter bike which gets covered in chain wax I have a standard DID silver chain, but the tuono gets treated to the nice stuff
You're lucky, you live close to some of the best roads... 
I can easily say that 2CT's are great, only managed to slide the rear once mid corner when I gave it too much throttle and I had a gear lower for the corner than I should have. I barely felt it, went back to check and it left a mark. BTW I highly recommend a 120/70 for the front, it got rid of that feeling like the front is about to give up when you go faster round a corner. The worse bit about that is, you'll have chicken strips which are impossible to get rid of due to geometry of the bike.

Headed down to Chichester with a couple of mates, to meet with a vlogger called Lamb Chops (my mate subs, look qutie good videos though) who was test riding the new GSXR.
Amazing roads down that way!
I felt a bit out of place on my KTM...

I've not actually watched any of his video's yet, but he said it was his usual test ride route and I think we came out of the same place, so I guess it was, yes. Amazing roads. If I was better at the bendy bits, I would have loved it!
Sorry for the stupid questions. This is my first leather jacket. How long does it take to 'break' in?
I'm sure I have the right size but it just feels stiff and coming from a textile jacket which had plenty of movement I don't know if it's normal or if I do have the wrong size.
