A 175kg (dry) 450cc motorbike. No thankyou. But then again there isn't much that could beat my 690,
for weight and power.

Re: Waterproof bike boots.
Ok, N O T what you are asking about, but.... I go for the safety features when it comes to boots. And this was proved to me when I had a simple low speed slide a few years ago. Had I not been wearing my enduro boots I would have had a smashed leg and ankle, because it was so low speed, the bike simp...

New Jacket
As the season is nearing spring start here, just a word of caution.
After buying a new jacket and disposing of the old one, I am certain it would have been prudent
to ensure the pockets were empty in the old jacket.
Now, where is the damn key....

Re: It's 1971 again!
After initially considering a Triumph Scrambler 1200, the heat from the high exhaust is leg melting and nullified any idea of buying one. An underslung pipe with kicked up silencer option would surely help sales. Looks really nice though. Zard Exhausts.... Not cheap though. https://officineitaliane...

Re: Best tyre-changing video ever?
I have yet to have problems changing tyres using my Motion Pro tyre levers. Have changed all tyres by hand.
This includes bridstone AX41, Mitas E-07 and Heidenau tyres. I do always have a 3rd lever to hand though.
But a good video.

Weight, think of the weight.
790/ 890/ 901 are good bikes. I have a 2019 690 that has had no issues since new.

Re: Concept Bikers
You mean Wild Hogs. I went to a local bike show at the weekend and must say I was less than impressed. At 52 i felt like I reduced the average age of people turning up on bikes :shock: At the same time I also felt like I was walking around back stage on the set of SOA with all the extras :shock: :sh...
