You know what gets me here? No helmets. You'd think they would learn! Also, it seems to be the same few intersections in this vid. How about a bit of round-a-bout action? You can see it coming though when they'll ride/drive/walk 10-astride.

One more thing to mention to people if you're buying Rev'it stuff online. Some of their jackets are a short cut, others are not. I find the Turbine to be very short which may be fine in summer, but I'd be concerned it would pull up from my kevlar jeans on the ground. The Sirocco is a "3/4...

What I found with the Rev'it summer range is that the mesh is actually decent. My old Ixon Carbonic had polyester material (which supposedly simply melts in a high-speed abrasive situation!). The Rev'it Air uses a 500 Denier shell which is resistant to abrasion, and is a far tighter weave. It...

Drug are bad.......mkay??? :D

+1. Knee down should be the indirect result, not the aim. If you're unnaturally contorting your riding style just to graze a scraper, you're asking for trouble.

+1 on the Rev'it stuff. I own two Rev'it! jackets now and love them. Got the Turbine for summer, and the Sirocco for 3 seasons. Quality and fit are on par with the top-end Euro brands like Dainese, but cost is on par with the entry level Ixon etc brands. The Sirocco especially, is by far the...

Yep and expect the crossplane ('big bang') in the next one. If that happens, it's going to be DAMNED hard to resist. The motor in the current R1 is absolutely sensationl.

I'm the same way. Took maybe 3 years, but now I feel less apprehensive on my bike. And for the same reasons. I've got to check for blind spots, it's harder to stay ahead of traffic, and I don't have the power to get out of any sticky situation. I'm also especially careful to be observant of...

I'm the same, I'll get up to 40kms before I fill up and can put about 16.5 litres in the 19.4l tank.

I reckon she looks tops in this form......

Any updates from Angel owners? How is the steering compared to your stock tyres? And how quickly do they warm up?

Dude you have GOT to try a 2010. They are leagues ahead of the pre-10 models. The seat is more comfy as well (not pushing you against the tank as much, my biggest complaint on the 09s), and the front end feels less flighty. But the power on the 2010 is simply gob-smacking. I also think they're...

Not sure but I did anyway just in case :)

I think I need to send you a Yamaha banner as well :)

Kaz, my favourite thing there is the Bell helmet - what vintage is that!? I'm in-between places at the moment so will post up pics of my old man's garage which I use for the big stuff (I adore the engine hoist and parts cleaner), and then have a ghetto covered patio for the simple stuff.

I hear you loud and clear. It's not that I mind upsetting anyone else, it's that it drones at the rpm I cruise at which really gets to my ears. Here's what I did today. Drilled it with another 4 holes, test rode, still quiet-ish and not much chop. I expected better. Took it out and ran it...

So I did end up with just over 120mm.

I put the disc in to try, and yes it saps the power to pretty much stock levels. Crazy. My intention with the pipes was to get maybe 25% more noise, but also a better tone (and of course looks and weight saving). The disc isn't staying though, trust me. I'm either going to drill it out to the...

He's got a bit of a theme going on here hey :)

Ha yet they still prefer the Street! Can't say I blame them.
