Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

^ 7:27AM explains it

tired after a long day or still sleepy in the morning?

where's the pics kuba?

vello says your lazy!

We all know that. Nothing to see here. Please do continue with your lives.

Any recommended training places?
I finally have enough money in the bank and experience i think to do the MOD2 resit.
The place I did my DAS I've called 3 times over a week and they haven't bothered to call me back so I'm looking for another place to give this ago. Plan is to do another day training so I'm used to something more powerful than my heavy 125 again and then do the test.

scrapper try motad in crystal palace ask to have don. he suited my personality and learning brain better.

I used Kickstart Rider Training, who were ace.

This is how it was. Good times.

I trained with Camrider and think they are a good choice if you don't mind going far north.

This is how it was. Good times.

hahahaha

such great memories, cheers kuba

I have a litre of syntec 4 superbike oil, left over from when I had a motorbike, 4 stroke 10w40.
Also have a little under 500ml of silkolene universal brake and clutch fluid DOT4
Free for whomever wants it, just drop me a pm

mr blackfoot, this doesnt mean that youre never getting another motorcycle does it?

Anybody here knows about Krauser luggage?
I need help.
I won an ebay auction for these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110774628035?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

It turns out side mounting frames for the panniers are not part of the set. I thought they were. The seller is cool about cancelling the auction if it's not what I'm after.

I think I want to get the lot anyway as I like these lugages and they seem to be in good condition.
So I would need the suitable side mounting frames.
Do you guys think these ones would be suitable? I have asked the seller of the panniers if he knew but no anser yet (he sold his with his motorbike and another set of Krauser panniers already) The seller of the frame does not know.

Your valuable expertise would be much appreciated...!

Loic

ask the seller of the panniers if knows the name of the krauser system, you might be closer then to finding a suitable rack.

Motorcycle versus Bicycle, Alpe d'Huez http://smh.drive.com.au/bike-news/man-versus-machine-20111117-1njyv.html

I rode off the Applecross pass last year on my touring bike, and caught a couple on a 1400 cc motorbike, they sportingly pulled over and let me past, and gave me thumbs up when they passed me later on the road to Lochcarron. It was pretty reckless, but they appreciated it!

Does anyone with both a full motorcycle licence and insurance to ride someone else's bike fancy helping me out? I need to move my Triumph Thruxton from Bethnal Green to BRM's garage in Brockley, but I've just broken my wrist and cannot ride it myself.
A favour will be owed, payable immediately in beer if required.

Will check my insurance and see how my weekend looks. You have seen me ride though, so this might influence whether you accept the offer...

me, me, me

Thank you both for the offers.

let me know.

Be aware that your "other bikes" insurance will offer 3rd party cover only, so if you damage my lovely Trumpet it's coming out of your pocket :-)

Bethnall Green to Brockley...that's a long way to push it

BQ, can do if you need.

Love that downhill race, I whipped past a few motorbikes in italy this summer but in addition, had a dude on a blade explode past before feathering knee and pegs into a 80+mph right coming down off a mountain near lake Como. Both were lovely to see.

Couple of pro cyclists also totally destroyed me. I stayed with them for about 4 turns before completely losing my bottle. They were most likely cruising too - crazy!

especially with one hand...

What a coincidence. I have the exact same problem except it's not my wrist that's broken, but the clutch lever and both left side turn signals.

Training Day tomorrow, Mod 2 Friday.
Girlfriend coming from sweden saturday hopefully I will get to take her for a ride on the back of the bike as well.
