does anybody know if the footpegs fitted to most modern bikes are a universal fitting,just the peg itself,like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silver-Honda-Front-CNC-Footpegs-CBR900RR-FIREBLADE-1993-1999-1996-1998-/221131876096?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item337c7ca700 -

I really hope they build a council estate on it and fill it with chavs,pikeys and immigrants. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/General-news/2013/March/mar0513-uncomfirmed-reports-mallory-park-sold/

up to now I reckon I've done about 0 miles give or take,picking the new bike up next week and its got 2155 on it so lets see what I can do to change that -
just a couple of pictures from the ExCel bike show the other week saw this bloke mooching around outside,I was gonna give him a quid for a cup of tea seeing as he's out of work. saw this in the motorway services on the way down -

remember seeing some expanding plier/molegrip type of thing thats designed to get siezed pistons out but I cant remember where I saw em.I once managed to get some out of a siezed Srad front caliper with some external circlip pliers. -
just been announced that Sean Emmett's wife was killed in a tragic accident in Dubai http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news--general-news/sean-emmetts-wife-dies-in-tragic-accident/22383.html -

just spent 5 1/2 hours changing a couple of end cans,an ecu,air filter and a steering damper.I've never worked on a bike as awkward as a Ducati,got to take the entire fairing off just to change the air filter -
well the deal is done,picking it up in 2 weeks,gives me a chance to take the termignoni's off the Ducati and also theyre a bit busy next week with the new registration coming out,thought it better to wait another week then its not going to get rushed throught the workshop. -
well I might have bought this I put a deposit down on it to hold it for a few days till I can get over to have a look at it and if for some reason I dont like or want it then I get my deposit back.Weather permitting I should have some news on Saturday.Its a UK bike 2012 reg,traction control model and its a limited edition,one of 2000 made to celebrate Yamaha's 50th anniversary.

is this too good to be true?
bladerunner replied to bladerunner's topic in The Pub "Tinker and Budget"
there is but it hammers the battery as it uses the gps,this box knows if your bike suddenly falls over while its moving then stays on its side for something like 10 minutes they contact your phone and if you dont answer or call back they send an ambulance. -
went to the MCN bike show yesterday at the Excel center in London and there was a guy there giving these away for free http://www.bipsosbikes.com/index.html he said there was no charge,no subscription fees,nothing at all to pay as they are just launching it,so I got one.If its true I think its a damn good idea as I tend to ride on my own a lot and if I come off in the middle of nowhere I might be there for days.

Pays to have friends in the right places
bladerunner replied to Oldfart's topic in The Pub "Tinker and Budget"
she states she had the phone in her lap after answering a brief incoming call, the offence is holding a mobile phone whilst in control of a motor vehicle,so how did she answer the phone, she must have had hold of it therefore she committed an offence.but what does the truth have to do with it when its only another pesky biker.. -
apparently they are worth the price for the genuine anoraks bit the majority of people put Akront rims on theyre half the price but they tend to think he's trying to get shut soon because borrani have started making them again so thats going to drop the price. -
just posted a link on a Ducati forum to find out if its for real or a wind up, I'll let you all know whats said.

so Ive been looking round for a new bike recently and Have been looking for a used big bang R1 but today I went into KJM motorcycles near wigan and they offered me a really good trade in price against a new parallel import R1 from america.Now I know parallels were common a few years ago but I didnt know they were still available.just wondering if anybody else has got one and what if any are the down sides to owning one,parallel that is not R1.
