I don't understand how you guys get such mileage out of tyres. Battlax lasted 4k, pr3's did 5k, pr4's 5.5k, and that's considered pretty average over here?

It's a hard life...

Working fine here in the UK with Chrome/Android and Firefox/XP

Happy Birthday!

Looks like fun!

Thanks for looking that up, useful :)

Sick and tired of not being able to see at night, so I've ordered a (decent) HID kit for the bike - anyone who's done this conversion got any tips for me? Any major pitfalls to avoid? Anything to make it easy peasy? Ta muchly :)

Funny, I've always thought the bike was smoother with a full tank, which may well be more down to noise than anything else. I guess a full tank would either absorb or deflect noise better than an empty one, or maybe it acts as an echo chamber when empty?

^^what I was thinking, I'm guessing he didn't come off or it would have been a video. I suspect skills

When there are still great swathes of the world without drinking water or sanitation, I really do think we're concentrating our efforts on the wrong things. Every car already has a magnificent computer on board, if only drivers would use it.

Could this be where I'm going wrong with RATM?

Well, if his visor was as dirty as his bike.....

Re: August 2016 BOTM - uploads enabled Too many good ones this month, so I just opted for the shiniest!

Nope, more revs and it skips (which is what made me have a looksee). Amazingly, the chain and rear sprocket still have life in them, although I've ordered the set. God bless scottoiler :)

Well, the bike's on 29k miles, 19k of which under me, and I have never touched it, so I'm guessing 29k!

I certainly have :) Yes, that was a front sprocket

Fair point, although I might call it "assertive" rather than "aggressive" - the merge was clear from a distance, it would have been no hassle to overtake the lorry before it even started to merge

Given the options of a) gently applying a bit of throttle to get in her range of vision ahead of her b) making a terrible fuss in order to get between a big lorry and a driver who's clearly not paying attention c) gently throttling back and tucking in behind her, where I can keep an eye on her...

Nice! Only one really important question - how far is it from an international airport? ;p

Brilliant, thank you! Really weird, chain and rear sprocket are fine, front sprocket is completely buggered
