  1. Well at least you can't see it whilst you're riding and quickly into the helmet bag.............

  2. Checked the oil level on the Multi.

    Checked and pumped up the tyres. They both needed around + 3psi and I could feel it with counter steer.

    Checked the chain tension which felt loose to me but was still spot on. Maybe it’s that couple of mm of slop in the throttle.

    Moved the bike around so it’s good to go first thing, which is now by the looks of it.

    I’m off to meet Bumpkin and Ian of this Parish for a ride out. Been very much looking forward to it.

  3. Took the RSV4 out last night (first time since back from the TT) to test throttle lock and Domino quick action throttle. Both worked great....more accurate throttle control and less travel along with the now ability to cruise more comfortable on the motorway on the way to said TT which we do every year.....

    On the way back down the m32 negated to see the 2 police blacked out Volvo XC's right on my tail....must confess i thought i was toast as i nailed it earlier back up at the top by the M4 (i could only see one in my mirror) then the other one appeared (so i felt sure they werent after me)....pulled over to let them go past and a lad in a fiesta thought he try to follow them and the one at the back stabbed the brakes so he backed off....waited for them to dissapear then opened it up again for another fucking one to appear behind me....let him go past - thought id pushed my luck at that point for the day so headed home...

  4. I was recently told, several Neotec3's from the very first batch (of which mine was one) leaked. Now prevaricating over going to the GTAir 3 or giving a new Neotec 3 another chance. One thing I have found, the OEM screen on my V4 Pikes Peak is the reason behind the lack of airflow through the Neotec's vents, not the helmet. I suspect the GTAir 3 will be similar :thinkingface: Andy
     
  5. Took new tyres to Indy for fitting tomorrow. The bastard 1098 needs new fork seals too….again.
     
  6. New system into the R9. :yum

  15. Last time I did the GP circuit was with you!
     
  16. Yep, Stelvio 2.2 diesel.
    Horrible car, automatic, ugly, handles like a sponge but..MrsX likes it, it’s got a big boot and tow bar and is comfy.
    Highly recommended!
