Re: Best cam for track days?

I use a gopro4 when I'm on my mtb and my brother uses a Chinese version costing about a quarter of the price. When the files are uploaded I honestly can't really tell the difference. If I was to buy again I'd probably go for something like an sjcam or similar. They cost way less, do the job and I wo...

Re: Lightened Flywheel - what's involved?

While making a to do list for the winter I came across a few posts about the benefits of a lighter flywheel and was wondering what sort of cost or work is involved? I have access to a basic M/C shop at work and can operate a lathe but I would rather let experience rule if it isn't too expensive a j...

Re: Powerbronze tail tidy-undertray

The undertray on mine has made it very awkward to get to the seat release catch. I don't know the make as it was already fitted and there is room to get the key in but to turn the key is a different matter. I'll try to put some pics up but I was just going to go at it with a dremel over the winter w...

Can chain tensioners a...

Re: What's annoyed you today??

Sat in sunny Greece and getting annoyed by all the v-twins going past when all I can think is how great it would be to have the vtr with me.

Hopefully there will be an extended summer in the UK as I need to put more miles in when I get back.
