Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Can you imagine having to be the development riders test riding early abs machines
Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Brakes were spongy. Bloke goes yeah cos ABS innit. This is taken as gospel.
Then upgraded brake lines, pads and fluid were fitted as well as the ABS being removed.
Brakes are now not spongy because no ABS? Not buying it mate, sorry. But I know you'll dismiss this
Next time you're in Dubai, come try either bike of mine. All ABS, all rock solid levers, especially the BMW with the RCS19 Brembo master on it.

Abs removed. Some systems might be really good on track for our level of riding but if you really want to go as fast as possible all I am reading is ditch ABS.

Fine, when you’re riding in BSB, I’ll let you take your ABS off. Deal?Broccers wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 6:32 pm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-GSXR- ... SwHdVa7EMg

Good to hear your friend is okay Tim.
On another subject, did Barry not join this forum? If not, someone tell him to pull his finger out. His bike updates and posts were always interesting (well, don't tell him that last bit)

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
Last week I had to use my brakes harder than I've had to before, pretty much an emergency stop. Car I was following decided to stop, after committing to go down a single track bit of road when it wasn't their right of way.
So I had to go hard on the brakes. Stopped with a few bike lengths spare, but the stupid car driver then had to reverse. Couldn't push my bike backwards with my feet as it was slightly down hill. Anyway, despite my worries that the driver was going to reverse into me, they didn't.
Lesson learned though, I won't be following in a car at that point until I can see it's clear

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
People really don't seem to know that bar the behemoths of the bike world like Goldwings, bikes just don't have a reverse gear
The ramp out of the car park in my new office building has an induction loop in the fairly-steep ramp down to the barrier that the Tenere wouldn't set off to open the barrier.
"Security" guard : "Yes yes boss no problem make reversing and try again isn't it"

Have yourself made magnetic? I can't really help beyond that.

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
I should have hopped off, laid down on my side and got my metal hip to set it off
In the end the workaround was just to go out using the in ramp, and open it with my blipper.
However it's 45C here today so the bike commuting days are over for a few months sadly.

I'm amazed no one has invented cooled suits for use out there. It's not like there's a shortage of money.JLv3.0 wrote: ↑Wed May 09, 2018 11:24 am I should have hopped off, laid down on my side and got my metal hip to set it off
