Goretex it is then, actually now the bike is nearly packed I would be hard pushed to even get my over suit into panniers.
Off to Ireland on Thursday for a wedding.Goretex probably more versatile, but I just prefer leather. Kinsale, so half way across at the bottom. Hope to get a few miles in on Saturday! 61

Off to Ireland on Thursday for a wedding.
Looking warm, talk of a heat wave, Do I wear my goretex textile kit, which is new so never worn in the summer it has vents etc, or leathers? With the goretex I don't need to worry about rain showers obviously. Leathers I need to pack waterproofs whats your advise. Cheers Nick 64

Im guessing if but the one without the gas bottles you have to blow the tyre up your self, ie pump.
Are the gas bottle ones easy to use? Trip to Ireland next month for a wedding. Cheers Nick 65
General / Re: Audi style Flowing Indicators« on: 09 May 2018, 08:24:30 pm »Today I have seen a VW and a toyota with the same indicators they all just copy each other - so boring VW own Audi so not actually surprising that they use it. I bet the first manufacturer to use flashing indicators got pissed when all the others copied them. 66
General / Re: Question for MT10 owners.« on: 29 April 2018, 07:14:41 pm »This is a bastard thread as I am so tempted. Test road one at easter on the Yamaha ride day, that made it even worse. Waiting for the prices to come down, so another couple of years. Lol its called garage space, money and wife! Although I could twist it and say the 600 is ideal as a first bike for her as and when she comes to ride. 67

Waiting for the prices to come down, so another couple of years. Im beginning to realise this, my mate has a 05 r1, and he wasn't fazed by the mpg. Just its a massive shock from the 600. At least my knees and back would get a regular break, although it was very comfortable unlike the mt09 which I found very uncomfortable. 68

What mpg are you getting as this seems to be the only Achilles heel that I can find? 69

FZS600 Fazer / % Brighter Bulbs« on: 18 April 2018, 08:43:46 pm »
Off to a wedding in Ireland in June, and may have a couple of hours of motorway miles coming back in the dark.
Im not too bothered by my lights at night but then again I barely ride at night, not for a couple of hours any way. So was wondering about 50,60 100% brighter bulbs. Do they make a difference? Are they just a straight swap or is there some fettling required due to motorbike wiring, I know its a straight swap on a car. Cheers Nick 71
General / Re: what did you do with your fazer today ?« on: 14 April 2018, 08:38:59 pm »

Not convinced fazersharp, the car in the right lane is about level with the lead vehicle as well. Biker would of been shouting at the passenger as well as its in yanksville. I don't think the biker has much to complain about really, doesnt excuse the mazda driver but we all know there are some morons on the road.

General / Re: Tyres and upgrades« on: 05 April 2018, 07:23:19 pm »
Because new tyres cost money to develop and therefore cost more to buy, older tyres will be cheaper, plus as is the case with michelin the newer tyres don't come in older bikes sizes, you can't get a PR4 for FZS600 front wheel for example. SO perhaps tyres manufacturers are thinking of older gits like you so stop whinging
