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

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.

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. My old SPADA textile was good until the waterproof lining failed on the arms,still makes a fine summe...

Re: Biker gear at Lidl from Thursday
Wife got me the Lidl top today. Very snug and quite flattering, all it needs is the Batman logo on the front.

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.

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.

Re: Opinions on Arashi wavey discs please...
That wasn't a firm called 'STEALTH' by any chance? Rust proof coating they said ,worst pile of scrap i ever bought.EBC pads and discs never had any issues since.
