Yeah never had one before and managed lol

PFT so when has that ever been an excuse not to buy bike bling 

I've got the older 635 RS and absolutely love it. I've had it for 3 years now, and the only reason i'd change it, would be to upgrade to the newer model. Love it, love it, love it!!  As GN said, it really does everything and without giving me neck or back ache. it's great for a quick blast around the twisties, or a weeks touring.

Had an errmmm intersting weekend 

Drive up in the van was good, in hind sight that was a good call. Great evening out at the Starbank, lots of laughs with average company, as always.

Saturday, the weather was shocking, but great to get out and about on the bike, got to the Green Welly and decided to head back to Leith due to being soaked. I then spend the rest of the afternoon running around picking up bits of Tony the Tiger (sorry Al), and then picking up bits of Ian and then spent the remainder of the afternoon/evening at Dundee hospital whilst the rest of the crew stuffed their faces with food 

To be honest Ian is extrememly sore, but came away with a fractured little finger and big toe. The CAT scan also picked up two fractured ribs, which were likly from last Friday's crash  as someone said to me earlier, he must be made of rubber to bounce as well as he did. We spoke to the Fireman who looked after Ian,whilst waiting for the ambulance yesterday, and he said in all his 20 years of scraping people up off the road, Ian was extremely lucky to escape with minor injuries and it could/should have been a lot worse. So we've been thanking the Scottish Road Gods for that.

But, on the plus side, it was great to see everyone and again, and a massive THANKS to everyone for making, what was a pretty horendous thing to whitness, slightly better. I'm sure once he's feeling better we can start with the merciless piss taking!

But i think after this, my 6 month ban and the mechanical breakdown last year, we've made the decision to do the Memorial in 4 wheels next year 

Still gutted we didn't manage our 007 reinactment at Glencoe via Al 'Speilburg' Dupre!

Really unsure on this. It's going to flog up back roads and make overtaking slightly slower vehicles quite hazardous. Depends on how long the system override lasts for being able to exceed the speed.

The challenge would be riding everywhere at 60mph on a roads 

I thought that too but it clocks where you are, and won't let you go above the speed limit you're in. So no 60mph in a 30 either 

I thought they tested this in Switzerland a few years ago, and it failed spectacularly due to it causing more accidents.

Hmmm, wont be affecting bikes tho will it but I think I'll have to keep a 'classic bike' running just for the history of it 

It'll no doubt end up on bikes at some point I would have thought

your bike was limited to the speed limit everywhere?

I'll be ordering my new bike in Sept 2021

welcome back HP

2009 ......... Kawasaki ZX10r
2019 ......... Triumph Street Triple r

Great bike  very you 

I saw one of those stealth signs the other day. Wtf is that all about?

Just musing the other day. But back when I first joined this site. Almost everyone was on a sports bike and wearing full leathers. There was a time I wouldn't been seen dead on something that wasn't a 'Z' something bike or wear anything other than leathers. I'd be horrified on a 600 or wearing textiles 

Now I see less sports and more adventure or naked,.   Is this because I'm older, and like my comfort. Or is it because the adventure and naked bikes have become trendier (just saying that makes me feel old)

I paid less than 10k for my zx10, back in 2005. But now you'd not see change from 20k for a 1000cc bike - a 1000cv bike would cost less than your average family car, not now tho.

Or is it that we're all older, families, kids, not so much disposable cash and we don't see it. Although I have to say, when I visit places like Matlock, the power ranger brigade, on the 1000cc bikes are few and far between.

Nope, I'm on a triumph these days 😄

The 10R has gone ?

Afraid so, couldn't justify keeping it as i wasn't riding it. It looked great but it really did feel 13 years old, was leaking everywhere and i needed a new car - being grown up sometimes sucks

Nope, I'm on a triumph these days 😄

I bought some black round ones the other day... cost about £250 for two, they seem ok ...

We use SENA and it's been great. Sound quality and distance is good, as it battery life. But the aren't cheap.

I tried a cheapo version off eBay first, £35, and tbh it was fine. The sena is better, but you'd expect that with the price difference

Thanks for sorting it again Davy
