What did you do to your bike today?

[wazza300]

its fun if you have a scrambler/kmx125 type machine (with knobbly tyres on)

but deadly on a sportsbike

@.one. I lost my coat once and had to brave it in the cold with just a t shirt on,was a cheap trespass jacket

Can't imagine how hard it is riding a bike in the snow!

No different than riding on a dirt track or icy weather something you need to learn even if you do not intend to ride in such conditions because you might be caught out one day and need to get home.

hehe makes a man of you does is not these little experiences don't you agree ? all part of the fun.

 

[wazza300]

it does,but I was younger then,haha I dread things like that more now

I always seem to pull something aswell when I have to push the damn thing

 

[Kreeeee]

Not hard actually, unless there's ice from it being compacted.

Serious?

BTW Its snowing and the snow is settling, I walked in this heavy snow ...

Edit: Its melting, not cold enough.

yeah i got one apparently the plate the previous owner had put on my r6 was too small.

How small was it? Some plates are just silly small and unreadable from just a few steps away - those are the ones that will get you pulled over instantly.

anyone knocked their mirror and then spent the next three days constantly tweaking it to get it to where it was originally? haha

Didn't knock it on my cbr, but every time i went over 20 mph it used to spin around, drove me mad lol..

Yep, you get them perfect so they're exactly mirroring each other, and then if one's not quite right it irritates me every time I look in that mirror!


Muffs went on today, they'll probably come back off Tuesday but it's meant to be 1-2 degrees tomorrow morning.

There's nothing like sticking your hand in a nice warm muff first thing in the morning

 

[wazza300]

oh you lucky devil

 

[Craig321]

Crappy phone pictures don't do them justice, but my new Rizomas!

Also gave it a good clean, again!

Next mod: stubby black levers, hopefully I can find some with hints of red maybe. Full on red levers would be a bit ott I reckon.

Edit: maybe these http://www.evotech-performance.com/...2011-onwards-short-clutch-and-brake-lever-set

 

[TallPaul_S]

Awesome

I see the new Speed comes in white too I'm definitely gonna have to get a test ride of one in summer. How are you getting on with the Angel GT's?

 

[Craig321]

The Angels are awesome, will definitely buy again. Not one even hint of them letting go & no chicken strips

Just put my old (stock) mirrors away for if/when I sell it some time in the future and man they're so **** lol

 

[TallPaul_S]

I was about to mention that could do with some black short levers!!

Although I'm very fussy on levers, I hate the square stubby type, I could only have rounded OE type.

 

[wazza300]

looks better now craig,but expensive,you'll have to watch how you filter with those

 

[TripleT]

bad luck,ive done that once myself,and yeah no one stops nowadays,they don't give a munkeys

I don't think a cat is needed for the mot as they aint tested for emissions like cars(thank the lord),so should be fine,no need to tell insurance either

Surely I'd need to inform my insurance for a decat? I just thought it was a slipon cat back but never actually looked at it. Explains why it's so loud I guess!

 

[wazza300]

it just for noise isn't it? or environment?

can tell them if you want but I cant see how it would affect your insurance tbh,what years the bike? my 04 doesn't have one,think they came in in 2006

 

[TallPaul_S]

Yeah it might never have had one, what year/model is it?

This just sums up my morning commutes, knock the left quite often backing it out of the garden then spend the rest of the ride fiddling with it.
