Many peeps seem to benefit form a couple of lbs down front and back, I've always stuck to standard.

Whilst driving around at allowed max with an instructor, I was overtaken by a saloon car doing twice my (max) speed. It got up to the top of Clearways where it spun quite violently. Seemed that Mansell would take an elderly backer on a lap and deliberately do a couple of doughnuts.

Tyres are regenerating almost daily these days. I asked Protyre to fit a Road five on the back of mine to go with an almost new pilot road 4 on the front. I went off for lunch and when I returned 90 mins later the wheel was still off. The road five would not fit into my swingarm. Had to have anothe...

Seems it went quite well - hoping for some pics.......

It's a nightmare. I need to buy a car, pay lots for tax, lots for iinsurance plus residents parking fee. Adds a few percentile points to the chances of me ever getting back on a bike.

Because i've had no car for 10 yrs or so I am having dfifficulty obtaining sensibly priced premiums. Also, my bike was stolen and I have to declare that. When I went from a car to a bike, I lost 9 yrs NCB, now going tothe way I've lost another 8 yrs NCB. Premiums are rediculous on anything other tha...

I've done the Indy circuit in a 3 series BMW and an open-wheeled Formula Junior. That first corner (Paddock) is off-camber and many crashes there. Swiftly followed by the Druids hairpin. Would not want to do it on a bike, but then, I'm a wimp. P.S. They only had one (BIG) helmet that would fit me. ...

Great fun route on the way back via 3227
