Great Skills

Apologies if this has been posted before as it's a year old but filtered through my FB feed the other day. Looks like he's on a CBR600 that's most likely modified within an inch of it's life but impressive all the same. :wtf:

Luggage options?

Right, I know a fair few of you on here are tourers (gluttons for punishment) so hoping I can glean so advice/recommendations on what's good/bad out there before I splash some (not so) hard earned. Generally hate riding with a rucksack as I do just now, just seem to be always conscious of it. Lookin...

Re: Wouldn't start! [Rant]

Battery it is. Old one re-juiced and started with minimal problems other than the usual paying with the choke settings.

New one on order and hopefully that cures it

Re: Wouldn't start! [Rant]

I'm north of Aberdeen so a fair hike from Stoney unfortunately but cheers anyway. Stuck an optimate on it this morning and will give it a go later tonight/tomorrow morning and see what that brings. This happened when I bought it but figured it was just down to it being laid up and to be fair once I ...

Re: Wouldn't start! [Rant]

:think: no fuelling issues unless something's changed since I parked it up 3 weeks ago.

On a side note not quite so pissed off now as it's now pissing down.

Wouldn't start! [Rant]

Just need a rant, so feel free to ignore the post. Went to my bike this morning after it had been laid up for three weeks and it just wouldn't fire. Normally, likes to think about it a couple of times before kicking into life but this time just drained the battery trying. It did briefly burst in to ...

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

Re: Damn Lloydie Bolt sizes

Out of interest what company did you use to source the bolts?

Re: Else made seat

Looks good, planning on something very similar for mine once I have the CCTs done. As for the seat cowl I've asked the same question, the reply, 'I'll modify the design so it does', so is your choice. I think the slipstream version does by default but the razorback that I like has a bigger seat jump...

Re: Facebook
