Harley livewire- page says 146 city miles, so probably 100mile range would be more accurate. Weight “in running order” is 251kg, which is ironically probably light for a Harley

Harley are sinking a lot of money into electric bikes at the moment, they're hoping that it'll get them back in the game as their sales have been sliding for years.

This is a quality episode of 44 teeth (the end in link)

Must admit I am rather taken by the MSport coloured one, but what would I do with 200hp sports bike in this country

Me too @Barry

This sounds super awesome. Don't get that with electric

Lovely. The Hoghton Tower sprint usually has something along those lines, but its been cancelled the past two years of course. Probably not too far from you that either @Broccers .

I've spent the day wandering down to Brecon/Llandovery today, got a place booked for two nights stay so I can have an explore somewhere other than NWales! Lovely down here, altho the heat was starting to get to me later in the day (Goretex copes up to a point, then its just thick textiles soaking up the heat!)

Will check it

Holy crap, they've managed to rescue this years event by the looks of it, usually May time, but its on later this month!

A lot more modern machinery there these days too, to keep numbers up perhaps.

Bought some 1 piece leathers. Initial impressions so much better than my d1 2 piece. Can actually move about on the bike easier.



Thems

My one piece is Dianese, nice kit. It shrinks every year though

Main reason for changing mine as added 10kg to my middle

I'm sad for the employees, but as a business I'm glad they're gone. Terrible company by all accounts.

Other than instantly recognising the name, I know hee-haw about them. Public service announcement only

This clip just gave me the proper willies.

How TF do you find such confidence in the grip available in such conditions.

Its a computer game, so quite easily

Ah.

Looked pretty real on iPhone.

“Hello - is that SpecSavers?” Etc

Have you seen this one Mik? The guy in the middle is hitting the other guy with a fucking chain!!!

How did they manage to get footage of my Sunday trundle to the shops ?

Just wait till they get the banana peels out.

Apparently my GSXR is now a Retro Sportsbike

Chopsies does look nice tho.

MIne has had a new battery because after reading the internet it said NEW BATTERY when it wouldnt start.
Got new one fitted, it still didnt start.
I asked on facebook stupidly and realised I had to replace everything to fix the problem.
Anyway it was booked in for a new tyre yesterday and after 5 mins it eventually fired up - some electric gremlin somewhere.
The shop had no issue with it tho.

What was nice - a lad in the place when I picked it up came over and said I'd always wanted one of those. So maybe its true, I've a gsxr from kids childhoods.

Back protector bought as its a requirement for MSV trackdays - going in april if anyone fancies it - or a fight or something
