Strange what some people wear       or don't wear

Can never figure what goes through their minds? Apart from possibly gravel if they're not careful

Another weekend draws to a close. Is anyone watching Emergency Bikers on Channel 5 on Wednesdays? I really like it. Can anyone recommend any other biker tv shows e.t.c

Saw the classic one today. Couldn't recognise the bike, but it was faired and at least a 600. The rider? T-shirt, shorts, socks, trainers

got the right bearings this time turns out there not R1 wheels but thunderace ones(the right ones) which I suspected all along the bearings were for an R1 and not a Thunderace  a bit confusing but at least it's sorted now

Quite similar.

Gen 1 has the tougher motor,
More meat in the barrels and steel valves.

Gen 2 has titanium valves, an extra 35cc
(It has the B-King motor) and MUCH better brakes.

Gen 2 seems slightly more refined to ride but
there's no difference in performance when you start
to hot them up, if anything a Gen1 is better.

Lots of stuff like bodywork, subframes, wheels
are all slightly different but can be made to fit.

I quite fancy another faired Busa.

Ahhh 29er is what they call a bike with 29" wheels

OK , just got what was recommended for me , my mates dad races bikes and pointed me in the direction of this one of these as it would hopefully suit my intended needs ...a bit more than I originally wanted to spend but after looking at some of the crap in halfords I thought better to go to a local independent and give them my money ( he knocked over a 100 quid off book price ).

Looking in the shop there was one at £7000 ffs I'd sleep with that in the bedroom and would not let it out of my sight.

[Davehutch-hutchs 0]

Have you been out on it yet jez ? I use mine for nipping into the center of syston to the shops and stuff it's easier than taking the motor sometimes and supposedly doing me a bit of good , I also nip out more in the winter when the king is tucked up in bed
