Re: WestBay.

There's a 14 year old zx9 on ebay at the mo, done 4,700 miles. In FALMOUTH. Looks pretty standard so good potential for fettling. Get well soon bud. :-bd

Re: Lean Angle & Counter Steering

Relax and enjoy the ride and don't over analyse lean angles etc. Try outrunning a copper on a lardy beemer and you will lose and he will be sat bolt upright and his knees won't part from the tank. Bike safe day may teach you more than a track day. Just my tuppence :-B

Re: Standards of driving !!!!!!!

I like to make myself as visible as possible. The results can be very handy if i'm late for work.

Re: Couple of Beauties!!

And when you've paid for it you can ease the pain with the pile cushion that's visible under the rear subframe!!!! I can just imagine the hubby-wife conversations, "It's cheaper to run 'cos it's lighter!" I'd go Bimota. =p~

Re: Recommend me a new Textile Jacket

With regards to sports capability of my IXS 3/4 .The zip starts at waist height so the bottom two press studs (rubber coated) can be left undone. No jacket to trouser zip though, newer ones might have it ? :-\

Re: Recommend me a new Textile Jacket

Recently acquired an IXS goretex touring style 3/4 length jacket on my favourite online auction site. Top quality item, very well made and the armour sits still. Barely 2 years old and was only £30.

Re: Chain lube

Using Wurth Dry Lube at the mo. Very good stuff. Had a Scottoiler before that and in my experience they breed laziness. Wurth stuff is good for linkages and cables too. :-B

Any chain is only ever as good as the lock that holds it! If these guys make locks to match they'd get my vote and custom in a heartbeat. :D
