I'm not entirely sure, age is getting to me, but I'm sure I saw a Chiron box at our last delivery. I just can't bring myself to buy one, I got the new X-Wing instead.

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
It's not dealer margins I'm upset about tbh, more that with the cost increase on the new model I'd have to cough up £5k to upgrade. Which is as much at current one is worth. Just feels like a piss take even though it's "only" £5k.. Only £5k? :shock: £5k gets you a nice motorcycle in my wo...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Was offered £5500 part ex on the Tracer at the weekend, meaning it's lost £2800 in just over a year/7k miles. This was against a new GT version at £10,700. So I'd effectively have to pay the same again to upgrade. Nice work Yamaha, destroying second hand values of your own machines, excellent busine...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Similar happened at Oliver's mount, they took all our weekend ticket money, cancelled the event, ignoring all emails and calls. Bunch of cunts. Auto66 events will never see my money again that's for sure.

Re: “I can see from your Out of Office that you’re on holiday, but...”
In my job its a sliding scale, during normal working when I leave the office I'm cutting off all contact until I return, during crunch periods (which aren't anything like what they used to be) I'm expected to pop in at weekends and ensure the team covering have the work allocated accurately, fend of...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
The 675 motor sounded fab onboard, I found the new 765 a little too refined. Goes well but a really flat power curve, useful on the road but not much fun to use. My 847cc triple gives it a good run for its money aurally too IMO.

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
I have cheap Oxford rain gear that I throw over textiles in proper rain too.
Had heated grips on my Speed Triple, never used them. I have heated gloves for deep winter riding instead. That said I won't pretend the Tracer GT coming with heated grips and cruise isn't a tempting upgrade.. QS too.

I tend to do just that, I just need to justify the spending mentally first
Test rides are fun too.

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Marv - Goretex isn't repellent as such. It's a material that has pores sufficiently large to let sweat out, and sufficiently small to not let water in. I just can't see how that could stop "working". The pores get blocked with dirt, which can damage them IIRC. Friend of mine bought a Rukk...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
I realised that all you're doing by buying more expensive kit is buying a bit longer before it lets in water, so I stopped pondering spending big dollar on a fancy suit and just buy a half decent one twice as often. My Halvarrsons Prime jacket is a few years old now and struggles in rain so I might ...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
My textiles can generally take about half hr of rain before water gets under the jacket and wicks upwards. If I know it's going to rain I'll throw the Oxford rain jacket on. In this heat I'll just get wet though, it's less uncomfortable lol. Good trip that Tim, I'm getting pestered to join a few mat...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Cheers Rev, will give them a call. OEM suspension is where they saved money on the MT range, the rear shock on mine is dangerous at anything above 7/10ths. Too soft, too little damping, it can't control the rear basically. Options are expensive Maxton, Nitron £450 ISH, Hague maybe. Ohlins if I want ...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
I tried a 1200 Sportster. Shook like a shitting dog, brakes were non existent, narrow working range on the engine. Horrible machine. I took my Suzuki touring, they're great at covering ground quickly but not as relaxing when you want to sight see or in built up areas. The range of options these days...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
If a bike doesn't excite you on some level it's not the one. SV/VStrom are old tech, as is the Kwak tbh. Fine machines but not exciting IMO. I quite liked the Tracer 700 actually but that's just me. Demo bikes get hammered too, you'd have to get a lot off to tempt me tbh. Guy at work has a CB500X, n...

The Meg - watched this last night. Starts off taking itself seriously but eventually settles down. Weak script and acting but enough lolz to entertain. Best character is the little girl mind

Re: Evo Triangle jokers
I'm not familiar with the triangle as I live a long way away, but none of that looked 'fun'. Obviously they showed the high speed straight-ish bits in the vid. I presume there are some more funnerer bits? That footage is mostly the faster bits, the rest is a bit more interesting for various reasons...

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
I'd have fun on my rattly Fazer I bet, but there are plenty others I'd rather take.
I get the appeal in lazy twins but I know it would frustrate me, even my Fazer at least had enough to annoy hot hatches.
