I will have a repair kit with me

is anyone taking any puncture repair packs/kits ? the reason I mention it is over the last few rides out I've personally had 2 punctures and 2 of my mates have had similar on our Sunday morning jaunts, so not sure if it's just bad luck or what but it would be worth considering at least someone as a ...

Alistair is right while there is a saving with carbon wheels it's not as great a saving as you may expect the OZ wheels are pretty light to start with so apart from not been able to afford £2K ++ it's not particularly money well spent, I think I'll cut down on the pies instead 😁 How much weight have...

Very tidy. Only another 20 kg to go.... :lol: Its a case of diminishing returns from this point first few kgs are easy GRP bodywork lithium battery give big savings but then it's little bits and bobs a few grams here and there I may have to have a limb amputated to make any further worthwhile savin...

First ride out today, taxed it on Sun and it snowed !! Typical so had to wait till today managed half an hour or so weather still not good for bikes roads patchy wet so only very steady even then had a big slide passing a white van, back wheel span up and snapped the bike sideways kicking me up out ...

im feeling a lot of love for this bike.... that back light is the snizz..

it's not bad for a VW transporter reflecter

well the end of the project is in sight, petrol added and after a bit of stopping and starting bike fired up and seems to be running fine, it's always a bit of a tense moment firing something up after stripping it down and adding quite a few new parts but the signs are positive and hopefully a test ...

Is the grease you're using high melting point? The linkages (especially if you're running a full underbelly fairing lower) get quite warm. Although the grease being washed out with a jet washer is equally important... it's some high spec grease used on trains, suitable for use in salt water so shou...

It can be done, but the engineering (mostly time and money) required IMO make it a still birth. Best to sell the SP and get a bike so-equipped if you really want an auto-blipper. Of course, the satisfaction of getting such a system up and running (on your SP) would be priceless but what a task! the...
