London riding mate, it kills the tyres

Then you need to get back out to the lanes again

tell me about it mate, if I ever lived back in the uk full time, I would live about an hour from London, either south west on north. just to be nearer the twisties.....

To be honest I was shocked with your pace on the twistys in Devon with you being a Londoner ,
I did have a hard time keeping up when I wasn't in a bush !! .

Lloydie,

What size and specification are those lights.

Stroke of genius there mate.

Mike, with your indi's the one not working will make the others flash faster.

They are LED's Mac. No resistors or LED relay as far as I know.

Well done Marty. you done well. I guess my tyres will start to look like that now I'm back home I have been having great fun on my bike riding the twisty back roads/lanes around East Sussex on a daily basis. It's been very wet for most of the week which was a challenge on some roads. I had to play it carefully with wet leaves. Got some pace up today though The problem is I know where the bends are and some can be a bit challenging and I may become a cropper one day if I'm not careful with speeds, especially on single lanes, fields either side and just about enough room for a car or even a tractor

Got to have a play with my suspension, it's too harsh and bouncing me around. And when I hit a pot hole I feel it

is that because you changed the rear shock setting last week????

Rear preload is OK I think. It's the rebound I think I will play with. Saying that though I may also need to check my tyre pressures tomorrow. The problem is with that standard rear I find myself either too soft or too hard That is by seat of pants feel. I really should get my front sag measured and adjusted properly and then I can worry about the rear.

Bike feels great at higher speeds on smoother A roads/motorways but when on hilly back lanes with potholes and one starts to open it up, it's harsh. There may be a bit too much race set up.

the rogered forks are fantastic on bad road surfaces, before when I saw a pot hole, i'd either stand up off of the seat slightly or brace as my balls got smashed against the tank, but now it doesn't matter, thumbs up for roger...........

Their not London pot holes down there My mates live on a private road that is not maintained. It's like being offroad. Potholes that kindly fill up with pig puddles of water when it rains, for me step in with my croks and socks late at night when walking the dog with no torch down the lane. Yes I done that that the other night. Proper Glastonbury style.

I don't think it would be to hard to retro fit one in the standard side light , I might do it to the other body work :-)
