    I'm relatively sure this is the place to post this, but I'm sure someone can move it if it isn't..! This is probably a very 'n00b' question, but: I've always wondered, under tail exhausts just (to me) look so cool! Neater, less visible, streamlining and hopefully cool... So... Why aren't more bikes built with them??? There's obviously at least one major downside to them, or I couldn't see why more bikes aren't built with them. So what is it? What makes them un popular to manufacturers?

    Got pulled today by armed response. I thought wtf! Turns out they were just warning me that my rear tyre was under inflated. I must say that the officers in question were very polite and helpful and seemed very genuine. Luckily I was just by a petrol station so I went to inflate my tyre, but the air pump would not fit on the valve because the of the brake disc on one side and swing arm on the other, so I then attempted to inflate the front, and again the pump wouldn't fit onto the valve because the wheels were too wide and valve was not tall enough. Where can I inflate my tyres?

  7. Teammate Jorge Lorenzo experienced his second Grand Prix weekend to forget today, making a jump start at the beginning of the race and receiving a ride-through penalty as a result. He pitted immediately at the end of the opening lap and re-joined at the back of the field in 23rd. The four-time world champion then showed his dedication and professionalism, working hard to move back through the pack to earn his first championship points of the season. As he crossed the finish line he did so in tenth position, less than four seconds from Rossi in eighth. The eighth place finish gains Rossi a further eight points to give a total of 28, dropping him to third on the overal…

    Well I have now been a member of this forum for one month and I have been riding for a month. In the intro on the new members page I did mention that the light on YBR was not good in the morning. So I have changed it for a better one, it is still 35w but gives a better spread and quality of light. It is not the best light in the world but it is better than the standard one. The bike is going well and currently doing about 115 mpg. Bear in mind most of the riding is down lanes and small roads with only a few street lights on the way to work in the morning. It's not such a problem as I only see 4 other cars on the way in most of the time. There is always the odd one b…
