Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?

Despite the gritters doing their first run round here yesterday the Ducati was out today for the MOT as I didn’t have access to the work van to take it in. Cold ride but kit did its job as well as the heated grips. Rode home looking at the dark clouds coming my way and pulled onto drive as the first...

Re: Fairing lowers

Joined about three of them groups. One called Fazer Chris is handy for 2nd hand parts at not taking the piss prices. A bloke is selling that bike but does not know either as they were on when he bought it. Mine has a belly pan which I have seen a few of but I have never seen a full fairing lower on...

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?

I was doing some training today but when i rolled the Fazer out of the garage it had a front tyre that was flat as a pancake so the Multi got used instead ..... Even with all the power settings turned down to minimum its a pain in the arse to ride that slowly behind students :mrgreen: https://i.post...

Re: Small number plates, loud exhausts, dark tinted visors, do you still use any of these naughty biker things?

My Fazer has a race can without a DB killer in but a standard plate as the DVSA are a bit arsey about small plates on instructor bike but dont seem to mind the exhaust noise. The Multi has a noisy enough exhaust as standard and the bike is large enough to not look shit with a standard plate unlike m...

Re: KTM 1390 Super Duke GT is most focused version to date with new engine and semi-active suspension

The first thing that always puts me off a KTM whenever i think about maybe swapping the Multi is the seats are fucking rock hard in comparison and i dont see why i should pay for an aftermarket seat or "optional extra" comfort seat to get close to what i already have as standard on my bike...

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?

I was out on the Street Triple earlier,the ride got cut short when the drizzle came in.I'm still not sure if I should SORN the bike at the end of the week or give it another month. I'm thinking of fitting a new rear shock over the winter,either Maxton or a Nitron anyone had experience of either? Wh...

Re: Tyre question..

I have Conti motion front and back on my Fazer 600 that i mainly use as my instructing/winter bike. I cant complain about them as they have enough grip and feel to take right to the edge of the tread but my only criticism is less wet feel than the Pirelli Angel GT2 i run on the Multi. The GT2's are ...

I commute every day on the bikes which are now both covered in crap due to rain and muddy farm debris roads so the pics would be of filthy bikes in the same places so boring. Today i washed the Fazer before taking it in for MOT. Sailed through as normal and got filthy on the way home when it pished ...
