Re: Was Santa good to you?

I got two odd socks - one black one brown.

I had a similar present last year, but one brown and one black.

Re: near miss

I ride to work regularly and wear a ex-police hi-viz I used to wear one and it makes a definite difference, especially if you have the Blue check's as well. And as a bonus they are usually made out of Gortex so 100% dry, Breathable and windproof to 180mph :thumbup: The only downside is they can be ...

Engine speed and loud :-( OK, Any of you good boys out there got any thoughts? I've done the stopper mod, she starts and runs well, no obvious faults. Sometimes (rarely) there's a 'hiccup' at tickover speed with a sound like the cam chain might be slapping...Tickover is set at about 1400 as below t...

Re: The Old Chesnut........Tyres

Avon Storms. Used them (and their predecessors) for years. Dual compound, 7,500 can be had from a rear. Have pissed all over sports bikes with sticky rubber on the Storm and these tyres over the years. Cheap(ish) too. +1 I use them too, and IIRC they still have a guarantee for the first 1000mls (or...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Sheeeet! Now I am worried - I'm going to take a listen today and report back. I sometimes get a 'camchain slap noise' once in a while and it might be a bit tappetty-sounding but ticking? Was it engine speed, when I took off? idling? It must have been loud cos you weren't that close!
