Good point - I'll go back to my hole

To me it looks like he saw the cops and his reactions were to move his left leg to cover the rear brake to slow down, because he was banked over his foot caught the ground on the way to the brake causing the front to loose traction. Pretty much what the rider said happened apart for the cops bit

Have you modified your bike with an aftermarket light or is this going to affect a lot of OEM rear lights?

Autoaid. About £48 last time I looked. Recovery after breakdown or accident. They Use SOS motorcycle recovery. Generally nothing to pay when you’re recovered now as they deal direct +1 Got a deal - £48 for 16 months, that covers both mine & the Mrs cars plus all our bikes are also. I have used ...

The gsxr solo is straightforward up there btw so there's something in the fjr being a lump. I have seen a BMW rt(?)1600 two up doing porlock hill and I must say I was impressed. Having gone through the obvious I'd be looking at the suspension setup as it could be the steering geometry is off causin...

Just a suggestion, it might be a good idea to have a post at the top of this thread to explain its purpose, that way other folks might feel inclined to get involved !?! I think the idea is to post photos that have a tenuous link to the previous photo, but I'm just guessing at this point and apologis...

Ron Haslam's school switched over to Dunlops last year - https://www.tyrepress.com/2017/04/ron-haslam-race-school-picks-dunlop-as-tyre-partner/ From personal experience over a number of years and bikes my opinion is there's no actual benefit to running a sports orientated tyre on the road, you just ...

I think Shorties are only suitable for folks that only use a couple of fingers for braking / clutch work but I have my doubts as to their safety in an emergency when all 5 fingers could be required. In the past I got some cheapo Chinese levers from eBay (long ones) which are more than adequate quali...

I'll be joining you today also as the misses told me she wanted to watch the wedding
