Haha true forgot you had the trike sorry!will look really mean on a trike though
Cheers tbh i dont wear it that much , dont think anyone's been done for a simpson before ?
i will put it on from time to time , i never ride without one evan a fly at speed hurts
Yep even places like the IOM ramsey sprint you cant race without one
the new simpson's are legal it's the older one's like mine that arnt
the old one's were illegal because of the visor shape ie restricted view
If i get a pull i'll just take it off , dont have to wear a crash hat on the trike
You have a link too a picture of your trike ?
There are pics of it in this very thread although I have no idea what page they are on!!. Cracking looking trike as well!!.
I think it would have to be a very switched on and "in the know" copper to pull you for wearing a Simpson skid lid btw.

Lordy Lordy! That was a baptism of fire!
Got the bike at 7 and was home in Surrey in an hour - rain so heavy the Hangerlane underpass was a foot deep in water, Marylebone road was a tad damp but once on the M4 :-O it was so tough to see with my visor constantly fogging and horizontal stair rods hitting me inna face. James at Lazer Motorcycles gave me a pair of Spada pants to keep me legs dry as my Frank Thomas trousers arent fully waterproof but my leather jacket weighed a TON when I got home.
I opened the bike up on the M25 and Egham bypass to get an idea of the power...
HOLY CRAPOLA. Once past 9k(I think, tricky to see the revs/speedo!) it flys!
Such a lovely difference from my CBR125 and the ER5 I did my lessons/riding on recently, feels well planted, turns in nicely, felt confident filtering and moving through traffic, stopping so much better as well.
I was already hooked on bikes - now its a love affair <3
That is all - now to chillout as was an intense ride home!

That trike is the cats coobers! WOW simply stunning. Did you build it yerself?
Thankyou mate
no i took the bike to wales and had the conversion done by the trikeshop
Thanks mate , i do the same everytime i ride herI have to say that every time I see that trike I grin from ear to ear.
hey guys need a tad advice. from previous threads ive been passed my test since july but am running round on a 23 year old bike which is costing me a lot of money o keep on the road i.e rectifier gone recently on top of everything else and the inability to buy parts for the bike.
Im keeping her before anyone asks cost me £400 and as my first bike will stay with me.
however looking at a bike shop today i am not normally swerved away from my VFR, however there was a Ducatti 900 SS Supersport 2008 reg, 320 miles on the clock for just over £3500 and boy am i tempted, I dont want a really fast bike as my next one, I dont have the experience for that, however this is 80HP 180kgs and from everything i read seems to handle like a dream.
anyone got any opinions ? any experience ?
would it be a worthwhile upgrade from my 1987 VFR750 ?
i feel the price is too much but if i could get for sub £3k might be worthwhile ? the guys also had a 50cc monkeybike in there for £500 so thinking of getting him to throw that in lol
so £3 - 3.5k and a monkey bike for a 900SS supersport worthwhile ?

My little 600
love ninjas
Who needs to look behind when you're going this fast, right?
thats a nice bike m8
You will pay around £2-£2.5k for a Ducati 900 Superlight, let alone an SS so at the prices you are mentioning then no it's not worth the ticket price no matter what condition it is in.
I know I am slightly biased but if you have @£3k spare to spend then look at a Generation 2 Aprilia RSV or RSVR Mille.
If it's big V-Twin thrills you are looking for then £3k will get you a cracking example of one of those.
