keep shifting your weight about, try toes on pegs, heel on pegs, shift forwards/backwards on seat etc etc. keeps the blood circulating

this friday 9am, packing a rucksack for the leaders to take on coach and my gear for the classic TT

sorted the bike today, no electrics on sat battery at 3.16 volts. New battery and a rush to get a new reg/rec which I've just fitted tonight. now its charging again yipee

Try Inox too, they do kits or if you can be bothered measuring everything A2A4 fixings

that 1st corner is a bummer, 1st or 2nd gear none are right. 1st shot was the best one of you I think. (I'm ignoring the bid for cash)

cheeky feck No problem, glad to help out fellow bikers

try xs400.com ( I'm on there too) there's loads of info for ya. I'd recommend getting a 400 engine (needs cards too) it'll fit right in and can easily keep up. I did 70 -80 all the way back from NW200 and she never missed a beat If your interested the full SP here

this section is for welcomes, please post in workshop for technical queries thanks you

wow, very nice. give us a go!

sure there will be. nothing fixed yet as early stages, I prefer May. I'll mention that there will be 1 more to add.

Steve from Bristol has done an itinery, santander through the pjamas and back. only 250 miles a day which should be enough for newbies

As you may have gleaned from Tommy XS post, we are hoping to go to spain next year and feel the need to get a suitable steed. My Bar hopper XS won't do and the sports orientated FZ will kill me. So I was thinking a 2 pot and thought of the TDM. Ugly things but the ones with the 270' crank sound good. Any thoughts?

I use peter james, phone them

:welcome:, yep they are a heavy bike due to more meat in the engine. 75 i think is the top end if its igntion setup and with clean carbs

got 3 photos, and they are pretty good

wind in your tent was a nightmare too

looks great the speedo is the same as the FZ600 and probably most Yams from that period

Pictures are now on sale £2 towards their charity http://showwithgo.co.uk/gallery 2016/index.html good one of Tommy on page 9 and one of me on P10

...and TT blues too

mr C early R1's are starting to get collectable now, so your making a good move. Bit Jealous of your triton though pictures or you don't have one

best accident I saw was a woman putting lipstick on and using her rear view mirror to see properly. Oh yes, she was driving too. Soon as I clocked her i moved to another lane just as she she ploughed into the car in front

no, you just need to get out more.

tommy and I are hopefully going next year but near more suitable steeds for the task. 900 miles? ouch
