The Isle of Man TT has been and gone. Only another year to wait...


Excellent racing all week, lap records broken in virtually all races, new faces on the top step and pretty good coverage from ITV4.


A few of the telly presenters were changed and the new ones didn't really work and they also changed the music from "King of the Mountain" to some namby pamby tune. As I record the programs I can just pass by all the yap and get straight into the racing which saves 15 minutes repetition from the previous days coverage and any inane chit chat from the monotone presenters.


Maybe one day I will actually go to watch the racing but unless I come into a lot of money I can't see it happening so I will stick to watching it on the telly.

i've just read on sky news about a group of london bikers getting together to look out for scooter crims. good idea if you ask me, and it might give average bikers a bit of good press. i have absolutely no objection to cops being given extra powers either. if youre a criminal or ride like a twat you deserve what you get.  end of rant.

As title really.


Please. Thank you.

Big thanks to GlennC from this forum who sold me his sweet FZ1S which I picked up today. Moving up from a FZS600, makes you realise, what a fantastic bike that was. But love the muscle and the smooth delivery. And I can ride it into the ULEZ. On the lookout for a tail tidy, wondered what people would recommend, and do I keep the original indicators ?

As the title says what is the best way to lube the chain when you only have a sidestand?
I have no paddock stands and do not want to fit a Scottoiler or similiar.

Anyone got a rear seat they are wanting rid of? I only have a cowl and my daughter wants to start coming for a ride every now and again. Not wanting it on the bike permanently so condition isn't important
Cheers

Hi folks,


I recently bought some Wemoto engine bars through here.


They came with no instructions but I cracked on anyway.


I have come into a slight issue where each side doesn't line up and looks a bit off, cant figure out what i am doing wrong, and would have no idea if I am missing a part.


The only image i can find is of the left hand side, which i think is fitted fine.


If anyone has these fitted i would really appreciate an image of the right hand side fitted or some advice on the situation.


Cheers

Just received this, to find the Fazer featured.

Hey Guys,
My 2007 S2 currently has 10,500 miles on it. I am going on a trip around europe in July which I believe will be 2000+ miles. Do you think I should have the service done now before the trip or when I get back? I believe the12K service is when the valves are adjusted? Has anybody experienced any reliability issues after having this work done? At the moment it's a very reliable bike, I don't want to mess with it if it will have negative affects on the reliability.
Also, screens. I know this has been asked a thousand times but the wind buffeting is pretty bad at my head, something I would like to try and rectify before the trip. I find at my height, 5' 10", the screen just directs the wind straight at my face which eventually makes my neck ache and means I can't see for dead flys within minutes. The general consensus seems to be double bubble screen is better than touring? Has anyone tried a clip on spoiler on the standard screen?
Thanks.

As above, Boss oval carbon. been shortened by an engineering firm, looks good,( but not as good as my new Mivv !) baffle included but its not too loud.  £80
