What did you do to your bike today?

Craig321 · 29 Feb 2016 at 11:49

I think we're making it easier for him...

Kreeeee · 29 Feb 2016 at 11:50

That's what we're here for

I hate you guys

zzr1400 looks so tempting

Craig321 · 29 Feb 2016 at 11:55

Triumph Sprint GT? No idea if they're actually good though, only sat on one in the shop once...

They're excellent, although I prefer the lighter ZZR1200.

Get the Blackbird though, it's clearly the bike your heart wants.

The 1200 weighs more than the 1400.

Really?

Taken off all the "I'm a commuter bike" accessories

Waiting for Tomok's and shorties.

Craig321 · 29 Feb 2016 at 15:38

Did you get proper Tomoks?

That would be nearly a quarter of what he paid for the bike!

You mad?!? :eek:

I'm one of those people who don't like to pay a premium for a logo...

I'd just leave that without mirrors, looks good without. Then stick some on for MOT time.

No need bikes don't need mirrors.

I didn't have mirrors on my KTM either, never used them as all I could see in them were my shoulders. :rolleyes:

Ah nice. Thought it was one of those MOT legal things, but not actually illegal to ride without them.

tom_e · 29 Feb 2016 at 16:01

I never had any on my YBR because the mount point threads were trashed by a previous owner, not sure I could go without them now though gotten too used to having them on the SV.

One · 29 Feb 2016 at 16:21

I can't really ride without mirrors. My bike is definitely cooler without them but it's much harder to ride safely imo.

Craig321 · 29 Feb 2016 at 16:30

Safety is overrated

One · 29 Feb 2016 at 16:36

Maybe safely is the wrong word. It's easier with mirrors, overtaking or straight lining roundabouts. You only have to check blind spots rather than a full 180 degree check.

tom_e · 29 Feb 2016 at 16:37

If I didn't have mirrors I'd not be able to enjoy the sad faces of the people I beat off the line.
