Happy days Dazza.....look forward to some pics.......still got my mind on an MT09 naked some day.

Sorry mate i dont know anything about those drovers tracks but i just find ancient trails a little bit fascinating. There is a lost Roman road in Pembs, brother in law was showing me roughly where it dissapears from site on its way from Carmarthen direction and then i spent ages trawling through google Earth........trouble is after a long time staring at google earth youll start to see what you want to see rather than what is actually there.......sure you know that very dry periods tend to show these old routes up more.


Ill have to look up that programme with Gryff you mention.

Hey Dave, just reading your comment about the pilgrims way......being in pembs I know of it much I don't know a great deal about it except for of course they were off to St Davids......anyway I think I've walked a part of it from my wifes work...I dropped her off once at the vets she works at and I knew there was a path down the side & I ended up on what I think is a part of the pilgrims way from Haverfordwest to St.Davids....it was impromptu and I soon got dehydrated with no supplies so I turned back after an hour or so....there was I big marker stone on the path that looked pretty ancient, maybe about 1.5 metres out of the ground........will have to look into it more as I didn't quite realise how far and wide people would come from.............anyway that's about it from me.....haven't done any bloody riding.....all those nice roads and the bike is stuck in the shed.....facebook even reminds me now of memories and pics of rides gone by as if to just rub it in...........just had no time.

Some pics....can of "healthy" soup for scale only


Obviously i dont eat much of it....couldnt get these ones round my waist but my legs got in........difficult to judge on the length....they are designed to go over the tops of bike boots anyway so as long as they werent riding up over the tops of your boots i imagine theyd be fine.........but if you wear shorty boots then they are a nuiscance flapping around.

Ive got a pair of 36 waist and 34 length roadrash heavy kevlar jeans, brand new never worn that i want to flog


I can try them on and see how the length looks, im 5 foot 11 & quite long legged.


Any use to you?


I had 2 pairs and i continue to use the fat set so i never got down to wearing these ones.

Could the decreased top speed be down to the MT10 not having a front fairing in comparison to the old FZS?


Or maybe that they have had to re tune the R1 lump so much for the lower down grunt that theyve lost the top speed?


I approve that the MT10 & the Tracer are so popular..........makes it more likely i'll some day get my mitts on an original MT09

The thing that entices me about the 750 is that it is the same weight as a 600 so whilst having more power it should be as flickable and so is therefore in my book both better than the 600 & the 1000.....a basic view ok but there we go.


It is true that there is no such thing as the perfect bike.....my 600 was a good all rounder but sometimes lacked excitement, the thou was powerful but too heavy....my trx handles a dream & has lovely low down oomph with character but runs out of puff.


Still want to try one o these 750's though....ive got the itch.

Couldn't go anywhere, still nursing a concussion headache, black eye and bruising after last weekends low speed tumble.

FFS all my tumbles bar one have been under 30Mph or someone hitting me when stopped.

The only high speed one (70mph) one I ever had, I got up and walked away without even a foccing bruise.

Sorry to hear about your off Unfazed


Do you know this guy by any chance?

Noggy he will be your friend in the next few months if he isn't already, you get a 15 min kip with one of his episodes.

Yeh good old Mr Tumble....i know him well

Ffs mate the saga continues....hope you get a new bike sorted out pronto

I've got a mint condition Airhawk Cruiser-r cushion that i'm considering flogging.


Since becoming a dad i am finally of the realisation that my rides aren't going to be long enough to get a sore arse in the first place & when i get to in future i'll be picking a bike with a naturally comfy seat.


I used to manage fine on my FZS600 i could go 150 miles without a sore arse........then i got an FZ1 & suddenly this dropped to 50 miles........i always thought the FZS1000 was about as comfy as you can get but i dont deny your pain, if you are feeling it you are feeling it.


Airhawk certainly helps....the FZ1 was extreme for me & i reckon it didnt double the comfort but certainly it did by about 3/5ths........stick it on an already comfy bike & then who knows could be the answer.


Make sure you follow the instructions & dont put too much air in....it shouldnt be a bouncy castle you should sink into it rather than roll about on top of it.

just seen this on the bike bay.
