But...

I've just spent all weekend toying with and training against a Hayabusa...with the express interest of "dealing" with certain people on Blackbirds come June.

The things you do to let the "pack" catch up :wink: Unfortunately, I wasn't able to witness your cornering as I was still making my way through said "pack"...again. 8) An interesting, and enjoyable (honest!) test, trying to keep the bike on the two strips of tread I had left. Sti...

I got 3.5K (twisties & warm weather) and 4.5K (commuting and cold) from rear Power 2s.

Maybe it's just a sub-optimal tyre???

Or the salt rotted it :?

I hadn't thought of that...though I knew it would change the speedo.

It's a 190/50 instead of a 190/55.

Thanks,

I'm still in love with my Laser Race cans (with Y piece & chip).

:lol:

Apologies, I don't have a sound file, but all my neighbours (from blocks away) love it...especially in the early hours.

Tyre Depth (55/50)

I have been offered a 50 rather than 55 rear.

Other than lowering the bike, any thoughts on pros/cons?

It always pops up every so often as an alternative sports tourer, and there was a lovely write of of the BCR on the bike 440...I believe it was rated (by Steve Rose) as the best bike he had ever taken on it and was, at the time, the qu...

And there I was...

If I had used my priority boarding card instead of quaffing yet another bottle of wine I *might* have sat next to JT on the plane.

And I found a new bar in Cadiz. :lol:

Shame I forgot the sunscreen :oops:

K and £? Not quite the same methinks.

You get cheesed off applying for a job thinking it was £25 per hour to find out it was £25K per annum?
