On the topic of indicators, mine have recently taken a few seconds or more to start flashing, but then can be switched between once "warmed up" and will come back on straight away if cancelled and activated again. Thoughts?

Yeah forks first, though in hindsight I would have pulled the forks 5mm through before hand and ridden it for a bit before having the work done. Just to get a better understanding of how each change affects the feel. Anyway, I'm still on the standard rear and it feels fine. I do plan on buying one a...

I raced one in Project Gotham on Xbox... funny that they'd include it in a game when it's not so well known.
I just remember the paint scheme being funny, not seen much about them otherwise.

Heard it start up in town then you rode straight past us. Sounded awesome. Crappy weather to be out though!

Fitted a HealTech quickshifter. Not had a chance to test it out yet but will report back.

I think that Hesketh, as cool as it is, looks a bit frumpy, I'd take a Norton commando over that any day http://images.mcn.bauercdn.com/upload/260945/images/norton-static-1.jpg The new Norton's do look good, they're apparently a bit gutless but one guy made a modern Triton and got it closer to 100b...

the configurator on their site is a bit of fun, this is probably how I'd order one... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/Devildude/Screen%20Shot%202015-10-27%20at%2012.23.06_zpspshlsvlb.png If it's a bespoke V-twin you want to spend lots of money on, a Hesketh might be more you're style http://w...

Took its clothes off, ready to fit a new toy once it arrives...
Might whip the wheels off for a good clean, clean the chain and give everything a good once over while I'm in there too. Need something to do while the roads are gritted!

I keep looking out for one of these as a potential track bike. Not that I have anywhere to put one, but I'm interested in them

Thank you

E.Marquez - they look good, can that finish be kept basically by washing them as normal with the rest of the bike?

Ah yeah Cerakote, I thought I had read about something else, as that name is obviously a ceramic coating! Anyway it was in Practical Sportsbikes, and they mentioned Flying Tiger... http://www.facebook.com/flyingtigercoatings

Interested to know how it turns out if you do go for it.

MSX125

...it's cheap for a new bike.

Took the zxr for a spin, forgot how well it rides. Power wheelies from 9000rpm up to 4th gear. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160205/f674c678cc3599a8f6e6e09c6058e721.jpg Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk You're on TDR aren't you... knew I'd seen the bike somewhere! Looks fantastic :thumbup:

There's a new coating technique mentioned in RiDE recently... can't remember what it was called and Google isn't turning anything up. Some sort of super-hard, microns thin, all the rage in military sort of deal, I'll find out when I get home.
