What bike is that Shaken? Loops really nice, just goes to show you don't have to be doing a gazillion miles a hour to have fun

This was a section in my first competition.
overall I finished 4th in my division and won my class(first Twinshock, ie old bike), the 3 bikes in front of me were new bikes.

Seeing those keys bash against the tank makes me sad.

It's not really the tank, well not painted metal anyway. It's a plastic cover element. But yes, some feint marks on them.

Probably/hopefully rub out with some C4 Gtechniq.

I need to stop watching videos of alpine passes, that's another gone on the list/added to the route... :rolleyes:

I mean I'll be passing within 20 miles of it so it'd be rude not to ride it...

I've been there, it's full of mad Italians trying to run you off the road but it's awesome.

TallPaul_S · 30 Oct 2016 at 23:28

Just like the rest of Italy then!

Classic twinshock trial

Went to a great event yesterday, the Peak classic trial at Bracken rocks(near Matlock bath)
its for old Twinshock trials bikes, I was meant to be riding in the event, but hurt my back so had to give it a miss.
here are some video's I recorded, there are some really old classic bikes that are worth a lot on money being ridden and not just show pieces

I really hope KTM do well next year. Hopefully this will push them back into the sportsbike sector and release a follow up to the underrated RC8.

Can't link it due to lots of swearing, but Adjrian Nicklodeon's latest vid 'Cringiest women ever' - 100% agree with his top rant on phone users.

Looks like it's not just the UK that has this epidemic of people using their phones/ipads/laptops at the wheel.

That just goes to show the rider is pretty much the limiting factor in regards to bike handling!

Sin_Chase · 4 Nov 2016 at 16:43

He sure knows how to throw his harley around!

Junglist · 4 Nov 2016 at 16:51

There was one moment where i bet it was squeaky bum-time. But yeah, I never thought I'd see a harley so leaned over

Rider skill, familiarity with road and knowing the limits of the bike.

Throwing bikes into blind bends on public roads hoping there isn't a pickup truck around the bend isn't very smart though.

Short sleeves and jeans. Honestly.

Don't worry about it, it's only him that's going to hurt if he comes off. I've done it a few times before and it's magical when it's near on 30c or 30c+

Buy proper gear for warm weather. Even in 38C I will have my mesh jacket, breathable gloves and boots, and armoured jeans on.

It's not worth it for the 2 days a year over 30 degrees we get here!

Fastest sportsbike.... Is electric? There's a few swears in this as he scares himself.
