Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Nope.

You ever feel like ridding of, give me a shout, my K2 is not floating my boat.
Gotten far too used to low keys. High keys for gaming feel awkward now.

Will do. But think I'll keep it.

Your review doesn't bode well for my K4 though.

Do you use a wrist wrest? A lot of people seem to with the regular thickness Keychrons.

Edit: there are still a few on Amazon. Slightly lower P&P means it's similar price.

The CRF and SRAD out together. Added a friend as a named rider on my insurance after realising it didn't change the price. Managed to plot a route that was equally compromising for both of us so that worked out well.

Nah, no arm rest. It's the key stroke length that's throwing me. Lovely to type on, but I'm making way too many mistakes. All me really. Reckon will change.

@jambon That TRX is amazing. Reckon that's what I want to aim for with the SV rebuild.

Something very appealing about a 10 valve Japanese twin, never owned a yamaha too so may need to scratch that itch at some point. I for one would love to see this!

They’re shockingly priced as well. Had I a garage, I totally would. Proper winter project.

Seriously poor head design, and poor carbs. Even tho they are also fitted to the early monsters.
But 270 angle crank in a parallel twin set up, first engine with that set up wasn't it?

Finally got round to replacing my b0rked clutch lever.
Absolute piece of piss. 1 screw and a pivot bolt. Took longer to get the knuckle guards right than the actual level

Need to swap the brake lever next to get them matchy matchy, but the screw was more stubborn and I CBA to deal with it at the time.

What levers are you using?

Just some cheapy adjustables off ebay.

Nice and easy to adjust.

Beware the stopper part on these types of levers is prone to breaking off. Loctite the nuts on the adjusters or you’ll lose them sharpish.

so i've gone and done the armored work shirt and cargo pants thing from john doe. Incredibly bearded of me. I know. Up next are short cuff, street gloves that look retro, have palm sliders and don't have knuckle protection.

seems most short cuff hipster gloves have knuckle protection but lack sliders... which i don't understand really.

any ideas? or advice to go another way?

Heads up for anyone that is local enough to Swindon, Mega’s is having another sale this weekend.

I’ll be there on Saturday first thing, but I think my sister would kill me if I miss her wedding on Sunday because I was buying gloves and boots at a sale.

Nylock nut might be easier or a little plastic fishing line on the nut to act like a nylock.

TBH I when I was buying gloves I found finding any with palm sliders quite hard.

For my summer shorties I went to a shop and tried on ALL THE GLOVES and came out with a pair of Dianese Migs which are good.

I'll try and find out what my OH's gloves are as they are really good shorties striking the right balance of retro and protection.

Hmmm.... Not sure they're made any more but revit hawks seem like the closest current model.

I have goldtop bobbers, very hipster and have a palm slider.

Edit, they are very comfortable.

TBH https://www.urbanrider.co.uk/ plus whatever filters you want will be the way to go.

Altho knox are prob gonna be the safest

I've been frothing at the gills for one of these since stumbling across this one on Instagram.

Oh lordy, just those Brembo race discs get me excited. Was adamant I'd fit these onto the SRAD until I saw how much they cost. That is lovely.

Choice. You’d be wanting a set of FCRs on there too.

Ever wondered what a RSV4 looks like with RS250 fairings?

Arn't they PFM discs?
