Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Why not the f4i? Always liked those, and they come up for decent monies. Somewhere between an RR and an f3

If one comes up, yeah will consider (also F4).
Passed mod 2 with a pair of minors for ‘not getting on with it’ overtaking on a dual carriageway.

Also it’s hot as balls today, is there such a thing as motorbike gear with holes in?

Yeah! Nice one congrats!

Something like this?

Yay! NIce one fella.

And yeah, vented leathers. Still sweatier than a dromedaries jockstrap though. A lot warmer in London today than it is here in LA!

Yeah you can get mesh jackets.

LOL. They're hot on you being quick on a bike. Use the accelerator.

Well done. Now enjoy getting on with it! But not too much to start.

Yeah, I have an Icon (I think) summer jacket.

I got it free from someone who was leaving the country, would not want to have paid for it as it's only possible to use it once or twice in the summer. Being mesh almost entirely made of mesh it provides no warmth. I've worn it a couple times with a hoody under it in the morning then on it's own once the day warms up a bit.

Also, you ever tried to clean bug guts out of mesh?

Congrats man. This south ride sounds like a doozy! LFGSS transformation

Finally got around to sorting some proper storage for the helmets today... Only 2 & 1/2 years since we moved in.

Whats the lid on the left? Ventilation looks good. My NXR is a bit too boggy here.

The new neotec II.

Flip up jobby...

Dang. Wouldn't use that feature much tbh. Makes me a bit edgy. What's the other one?

Shoei Qwest

Any opinions on a GSX650f? There’s one in the shop near me and it seems to tick boxes with upright position, fairing, shop support, nice beginner friendly cockpit. Downsides being weight and price.

Edit: never mind, it sold!

Terrifying!

Although it's more likely to be a short-term transportation method, rather than a touring solution.

poor design.

I mean, they do ride a diavel and cipollini...

I guess they don't do wheelies. ;)

Genius. That chap is a real winner.

Insurance - worth going fully comp on a cheap bike or just get the cheapest possible? There's about £100 difference in the premium (and a hefty excess). I think I'd rather spend the £100 on extras (legal/leathers/etc).

Difference for me is 600 quid vs 3000!

If you can afford not to go fully comp, then don't.
