    6/5 - Nordschleife Nürburgring Trip / Track Day

    + 1 on that. When I got there a couple of years ago, they'd just closed the circuit for the day because a rider had been decapitated. Needless to say, I haven't rushed back. Don't mean to be a downer on your trip, just want you to be aware.

    TomTom Rider v2 mounting shoe rain cover?

    TomTom Rider v2 mounting shoe rain cover?

    So, do you leave your mounting shoe on, come rain or shine? And it's ok?

    TomTom Rider v2 mounting shoe rain cover?

    Yeah, that would do it, thanks, I was just wondering if there was something a bit smarter out there...

    TomTom Rider v2 mounting shoe rain cover?

    I'm happy to click the GPS/Satnav unit off the bike when I'm not riding it, but can't be **rsed each time to undo the RAM mount, docking shoe and charging cable with it. To protect the docking shoe from rain etc when the GPS/Satnav unit's not on it - it's only plastic - has anyone come across...

    Calling Devil exhaust owners!

    Fuzz Go for the Devils - I'm a UK rider, too and have had them on since new for a year now and love the sound and look: But, to be honest, there are some issues, only minor IMO: - db killers need a rivet popping to get out and then you need to fabricate/get fabricated a bolt/nut fixture on...

    ASV levers with handguards

    Plenty of posts here about ASV levers, but haven't seen any fitted with handguards. So here's the before and afters: Aesthetics aside, as those that have them may agree :don'tknow:, the main revelation with these shorty levers is how they can change your gearchanging and thus your overall...

    Trackday! Willow Springs - Friday the 13th

    Thanks for posting - looks like it was a great day! I'm struck how different WS looks compared to the tracks I've ridden on around me here in the UK, like Donington Park, Silverstone, Cadwell Park, Mallory Park: a) 8/8 blue sky lol! b) no kitty litter on the outside of bends? c) moonscape...

    egypt

    So what did you think of ancient egyptian architecture? I'm a fan of Greek & Roman classicism myself, but I was blown away by some of the temples, like Karnak at Luxor. Hatshepsut's temple is just so modern. The tombs are amazing, too, in that they put so much work into them.

    Quick 200 mile tour today

    I know it well - have family in Amesbury (Stonehenge) and near Fordingbridge (Hampshire). Apparently, Sandbanks has some of the most expensive real estate in the world...

    No to bike parking fees, DEMO in London [March 31st]

    Just a few suggestions (I've been on quite a few London demos, even organised a few myself): - if the turnout's good, there's not a lot of parking space out front of the Ace Cafe, so bikes get parked in all directions. Keep your wits about you as you maneouver around there - the Ace is a...

    wheelie anyone

    Each to their own and I know some riders love 'em but personally, I don't see the attraction of pulling wheelies. I went on a wheelie school just to check it out, but all day bobbing the front wheel up and down on a Bandit 600 across a disused airfield didn't change my mind much. Anyway, the...

    London Hotels

    I use this chain a lot: Travelodge Fairly basic - room ensuite, small bar/breakfast diner - but you can get some good deals booking well in advance. The hotels themselves vary a lot - some are new/recently modernised - others sadly showing their age. If you can give me a UK postcode...

    Roundabout Grand Prix

    When I worked in Nottingham a few years back, I used to take off at lunchtime on my bike and do some knee-downs on a roundabout over the A46. Much like yours but with a lot more traffic - at that time, I used to like bewildering car drivers with my antics. Got back to the office with a big...

    Daytona 200 tire changes?

    Hey Bryan, maybe they learnt a trick from this couple lol: VIDEO: Front wheel change at 50mph - Visordown Motorcycle news: Videos :rockon:

    got it!

    Thanks and noted - not that I really understand what that entails, as I don't work on my bike, but at least I know now what to ask for! :thumbup:

    First Accident on a Bike

    Agh! My worst nightmare! Anyway, enough about me...really sorry to hear about this. Reminds me that no matter how safely we ride, how defensively, there's no accounting for the other jerks! Still, glad to hear you're (relatively) ok - in a way you're lucky, tho' it probably doesn't feel...
