sorry I won't be able to make this one but I'm off to a family wedding on the Saturday so a late night and lots and lots of beer so I'll not be in a fit state to wake up until the afternoon let alone ride Have a good one though!

Anyone around this sunday for a ride...thinking westbay as i havnt done that this year yet - although not sure i can remember the way all that well! :roll: I'm going to Westbay on Sunday, meeting a few friends from the rideout-sw forum at Exeter services at around 11:30 then on to Westbay for a cup...

I think I'm unlikely to ever get my knee down, I never have before, but at my age I don't think I can swivel my leg out far enough sideways even if the bike was leant over far enough :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I ride the busa pretty hard and get it cranked over well enough... if I could just get my old...

I've just picked up a big chip on my car windscreen due to the spray it and dump it method! :evil: My insurance will cover it but actually that means that we all get to pay in increased premiums so no money is saved overall! The council seem to have no long term view as these cheap and nasty methods...

Hi mate, I'm in Chard too. Maybe see you on a ride sometime soon

Tyres will be a big factor, the other thing to check is your rear shocks. I had a GSX1400 and found that the hydraulic adjusters leak and if one side leaks and the other doesn't you land up with more preload on one shock than on the other and that doesn't half upset the handling! If that's the case ...

My tip for chain lube is to always do your chain when you just get back from a ride, everything is hot and any lube will generally be runniest when hot, it will penetrate better, I go for the little and often approach and i don't get a lot of fling all over my swanky gold wheels 8) When I service th...

I agree with all of the above, except that if they can let go long enough to punch your kidneys because you are going too fast ...then you ain't going fast enough. I take my Mrs on the back of my Busa and give it beans and she couldn't hang on to the grab rail without her feet coming up off the pegs...

I got a carbon fibre hugger from them and went down there with the bike and they fitted it for me whislt I waited, it fits fine and looks good!

A good ride today Nice to get out and blow the cobwebs out and see the day out with a nice cuppa at Burnham.
Good to meet a few new people too.

I'm heading over to bridgwater to meet gazkwak for a ride, if you fancy joining us you could meet me in Chard and head over to Gaz from there, I'm meeting Gaz at 3pm in Bridgwater so Chard at 2pm if you fancy it?

I might be up for a ride gaz, it depends on the weather etc. where's dunball r'bout?

Go and see Daryl at Cornucopia Tattoo in Taunton, they are just along from the station and everyone in the shop is a biker and Daryl does some nice work and tell em that big AndyT sent you. You'll see bike pictures on the wall and Daryl is the area rep for the VJMC too so he knows a bit about bikes ...

I always look to buy bike gear, and indeed bikes for that matter, around the end of January or early February when the tumble weed is blowing through the bike dealerships and they haven't seen a customer for weeks! They are usually keen to do good deals just to take some money at all!

I think the same guy who designed the stock cans for my K8 Busa had a hand in these too! Fugly is an understatement!
