I had some Ti Quills on my track bike. They were nice but at 110dbs with the baffle in, they were nothing but a problem. I destroyed the right one on the first corner anyway, so that'll teach them.

Re: Oh, those Russians

He's very similar to other despots such as Gaddafi, Hussain, Mubarak etc, in that he's leading the country illegally, no one wants him there and he's there by using fear. As soon as he shows weakness he'll be killed. What he's hoping to achieve is his survival. He's been working to this situation fo...

Re: E10 fuel (or not??)

IMO, If you are using the E10 petrol regularly and it doesn't sit for a long time in your bike or lawnmower, then it is fine. Apparently the issue can be when it's left standing unused. I use this stuff in any petrol I have in storage, especially over winter. It was recommended by a garden machine m...

Re: VTR1000 Firestorm gear indicator anyone fitted one ?

Anyone fitted this gear indicator ? Pro's, cons, any good, does it work or a waste of money ? I know it says only electronic fuel injected (EFI) bikes, but then goes on to specify loads of carb model bikes !! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EFI-Motorcycle-LED-Gear-Indicator-for-Old-Honda-VFR800-VTX1300-...
