I told him it looked like he was doing a Cossak Dance, still cant believe he was only slightly bruised..............the young bounce better than us old buggers

Thought I would share this picture of my friends sons highside at Silverstone during free practice for the 600 race supporting BSB. Fortunatly he didnt hurt himself and went on to qualify and finish the race, but this is just a great picture before the damage starts. http://i734.photobucket.com/albu...

The comment on steering head bearings is interesting, as I still have the std ball & cup parts in [Taper set is on the shelf waiting for the winter strip down], and I got a good improvement in the precision of the bike setting up to turn into fast bumpy bends when I thightened them. Having only ...

AMCQ46, What have you decided :?: Chris. On the steering damper, the jury is still out, If I got hold of a fitting kit I would do it, but have it set at minimum. Thinking is that it would allow me to play with the settings further and see if it got to the point of instability. An interesting point ...

Welcome back to bikes, and welcome to Firestorms and this Forum.

I was getting 120 miles to Red light when running through france with the Midlands Bike Police drinking tour.

, just anti juggler, I agree with that, just not sure that not nodding to them will put them straight :) Also agree with your earlier comments on Visordown forum users, I couldnt be bothered with that lot..... looks like I am becoming a grumpy old git METALDAN, you can come out of the corner now?

Wow, this is the best "stirring of a hornets nest" thread I have seen on this Forum!! Not that it helps calm things down, but I do it as it is part of the fellowship that riding a bike has. And in the long term that fellowship and sticking together is what is important, as the saying goes,...

Ah, that explains the caption on one of your Olivers Mount pictures.

Sounds like you were lucky, but is a good warning on loose metal bits under the seat.

Warby, I agree with your comments, like you I have set the rear higher and the front lower, and there is no real threat of a tank slapper since I had the forks done by Roger D. So it is more a bling thing, than real need, but If I could knock up the mounts and I have a free damper , I was getting dr...
