What did you do to your bike today?

Decat would need a tune to make it run properly, made a huge difference on mine, even over the power commander 'modded tune' you can download.
 
Mmmm, the ride home tonight was good - dry, warm, first time in a while I've had the confidence to lean the bike over a bit :D

It's amazing what a good ride home can do, I had a headache 30 mins before leaving work - helmet on, tunes on and 13k rpm and there's a smile on my face :D
 
Stands are generally designed to drag along the ground so they can't catch anything and cause a fall. It would require a rather special situation for a stand to actually hook on something. I wouldn't be surprised if his stand's been dangling down for months.

I was at a filling station when I witnessed some chap ride off with his kick stand down, he turned right out of the station then as he went left at a mini roundabout it dug in and flipped him off the bike !

And that's why you shouldn't disable your kick stand sensor!
 
Not sure what it will cost for mine. I'm running a Woolich setup so its direct ECU reflash. Not gettign the bike out on track for a few months so no rush to do it just yet. Was fine on the ride into work today.
 
Still searching for someone to help me set my suspension up, everywhere I call simply states "It's already set up for you." I weigh 130lbs (9stone) it simply isn't set up for me.

I guess as in the video below it could cause issues when it is fully locked out in the down position.

My GT Air has great ventilation and slots for the arms of glasses to fit neatly into.

I'm not required to wear glasses by law (the Swiss are very strict on this) to ride, but I choose to do as as it's more comfortable for my eyes and I have zero issues with comfort and steaming up.

Never, ever, ever, ever forget to remove them before taking your helmet off though! I have made that mistake once, and I will never be making it again!

I went for the GT-Air for this reason also ^^ Only helmet that would really feel comfy with my big silly plastic framed glasses. Never had an issue with steaming up though unless I've stopped in traffic and let out a big sigh.

Not sure when he will be in Florida but Dave Moss is the man when it comes to suspension setups in the states! Look him up.

How many of you have to ride with glasses on? How's the discomfort with the helmet? I should probably change my profession from IT to something else, I spend nearly all my life in front of a computer... :rolleyes:

I wear glasses, it's not always comfortable though and you should buy some anti fog treatment too for winter. For the longest time I assumed it was my visor steaming up as I wear my glasses all the time and forget they're there.
I also bought some cheap clip-on sunglasses for the summer as it's cheaper than paying out for prescription sunglasses.
 
Today I mostly I followed my S1000RR around in a web browser after ****** "borrowed" it from outside my office and vanned it to North London.

I have it back again, albeit with the pillion seat ripped off and the alarm torn out.

Can't fault the cops for reacting, Road Angel for feeding them the information they needed and BMW for recovering it for me.

Next time, a bigger chain. Much bigger.

almax chains are pretty good,it all helps
