I've used Hi Flo for years with no issues. I was put off K&N a couple of years ago as there were some dodgy ones causing problems.

I've heard very good things about his instruction.

He's a top lad.


Same here, and he's meant to be faster than his brother I've been told.

An MV will shit itself if it's used as a trackbike.
Screw having something exotic.  Buy something Japanese and all you need to do is feed it petrol and tyres.

Another reason I got rid. I personally saw 2 bikes blow standard engines, one of which hadn't even done 2k miles

A few mates were on that trip to cartegana and 2 of the. Crashed, but anyway..

I've had both RC8 and MV all be it the 800 F3 I much preferred the MV on track but didn't even keep it a year as I got so pissed off with it's problems. It always ran but I could never get use of all the gears. A long story but basically it was an internal problem that the dealer and MV did not want to deal with. When I traded it in I took a massive hit as anyone but an MV dealer just outright said they didn't want it. I got so frustrated with the whole affair that I'll never buy Italian again.
If you only looking at the 675 version then I'd go for a Triumph D675.

I'm sold and will get one late 2019, early 2020. Give them a while to sort a few gremlins out.
Had a letter for a second recall on the GSXR. Not major but just inconvenient as no local dealer here anymore  :cry:

I'd like to continue riding as long as I can sling a leg over. Doubt I'll be doing it at that age though.

Rumours are it's to be 215 bhp reverse crank engine,  electronic suspension, better electrics package. Gonna wait a year before I decide on getting one or not.

You mean the new model of Alzo's Old one??

I don't even know what he has now, he's had so many BMW's

At least all your bikes you keep changing are different brands  :grin:

What are the rules for road bike days.
I've left my gixer in road trim for track minus the number plate hanger.
If that's put back on I'd be good to go wouldn't I ?
I've heard you can't turn up in a trailer or van and tyre warmers arn't allowed.

Is it against the law to get your knee down on the road as long as you are within the speed limits?

The charge is 'not being in such a position as to be in control of your vehicle' and in terms of a motorcyclist with his knee down, to a magistrate who's never touched a bike before it looks like you're obviously about to fall off and kill people.

Or indeed looking like your racing.

I had an appearance in Crown Court London couple of years ago. insurance lawyer had my FB page of me doing a wheelie over the mountain. Submitted to evidence of my riding, it's not on public roads FFS.
