Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Very good point - the state of UK roads is something I always forget about. Yep - a sportsbike could be absolute hell on them. Evostick can no doubt vouch for this - Gloucestershire roads are particularly special. Indeed I can. Absolutely fucking terrible around here now...but the only bike I've da...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Balls indeed. At least it didn't shit it's biscuits on the track and you got it home ok. Hope it's something simple.NotoriousREV wrote: ↑Wed May 23, 2018 12:14 pm When I opened the garage this morning, there was a pool of oil under my GSXR. Balls.

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Ergos were spot on, more comfortable than my BMW (although it did have the comfort seats fitted) and it was happy enough at low speed. It didn't feel like it was always waiting to be let of the leash. Very docile and manageable, all the weight is carried low down. Fuelling felt spot on, to my fists...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
I don't think KTM have ever made a good looking bike. It's a lot of cash fer a bike Dave. I don't read any bike stuff these days, what's supposed to be special about it? It’s a genuine all-rounder, but instead of being OK at doing everything, it’s actually awesome at doing everything: touring, knee...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
They do indeed. One of the things that separates KTMs from the Jap bikes is that whilst the Japs were toning it down a bit, emphasising safety features and trying not to cause offence, KTM were making their bikes as aggro as possible, using the tag line 'Ready to Race' and making adverts which displ...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
I like it and it's undoubtedly striking but I wouldn't call it good looking. As you probably know, they had a rapid expansion into big bikes after many years of concentrating on dirt bikes. They got their bikes FUCKING NOTICED alright with all the angry lines and orange paint and whilst I certainly ...

Re: Can we have some moderators?
You clearly don’t fucking know me at all. I was actually a mod on Gixxer.com for about 5 years, back when it has loads of traffic and before the owner sold it,and I only ever banned spammers or repeat trolls who’d had plenty of warnings from the site owner. It’s almost like I’m a responsible adult ...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
At least he'll get a nice new bike now. Poor fucker was a bit shaken up though and I had to ferry all 15 stones of him 50 miles home on the back of my 800cc softly sprung bike. Which I don't want to do again anytime soon.

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
No crash protection gizmos were fitted. Bike's not holed anywhere but I've no doubt it'll be written off. Fairings are destroyed, forks bent and it's not running. Certainly salvageable but not worth it from an insurers point of view. I was quite surprised. Probably ridden 15k+ miles with Ian in all ...
Re: Bagels
Agreed. Bagels are fucking rubbish.

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Had a great ride on pretty empty roads around the Black Mountains/Brecon earlier today. Was great until my mate Ian low-sided his Triumph on a gritty bend anyway. His bike's fucked but he's fine thankfully.
