Re: what do you hate about biking?

I hate having to spend ages getting ready, I wish you could fall off and not get hurt. Going via bike means carrying spare set of clothes in a rucksack which is a pain.

As far as other things its car drivers not looking and nearly killing me :(

Praise for a good dealer (KTM not Honda - sorry)

Just wanted to give a big thumbs up to my dealer - Redline Motorcycles, Loughborough, Leicestershire. They have been faultless so far with buying the bike, queries, service work and parts and accessories. They have just serviced my bike, fitted crash bars for me and hand guards as well as re-mapped ...

Re: jf you had money to spend on your bike

I stick by my choice :thumbup:
I already have Brembo brakes, White Power suspension etc etc so for me it would be carbon fibre wheels, its a light bike anyway so I would probably save 5-8% in weight.

Re: Black VTR1000f 1999 for sale

I am sort of interested but I would not pay too much for it as if it's got accident damage it would suit me as I would streetfighter it but they don't fetch big money scuffed up :problem:
it would be quite a bit less than a thousand for me I am afraid.
