I hope you have many happy days with your chipolata enlarger

Had my first ride with the bar risers fitted ! Most certainly more comfy and just felt a better overall riding position. Although only 20mm high they make for a notable improvement :D Secondly ….. I errrrr drilled 6 holes in the end of each exhaust :lol: Works for me :D Sounds great and rather loud ...

Started to build an Ark
Not before fitting some bar risers though
Thinking maybe I should have fitted an outboard motor

You could get an Earth sticjer for the fuel cap :P Sorry I couldn't resist when I saw you sig :lol: The bike is looking great. I like the colours and the carbon parts will really balance things out but that frame is crying out for a carbon protector. Haven't you heard that I should only be allowed ...

Ok so after stupidly selling both my bikes and now being without one and seeing a lot of bikes about I’m now wanting a bike and hoping to have one for the wales trip. Has anyone owned or been on a triumph sprint st 1050? Any views on them would be helpful possibly test riding one on the weekend tha...

New rear tyre.... bt 023.... came to the house and fitted to the bike.... £115.... ace

Went out first time with the top box fitted. My main concern was it making a difference to the handling with wind drag ect. The effect is surprisingly slight. I could feel it but only just. I only reached speeds of about 90 so the difference could be more at faster rates. To all intents and purpose...

Speaking of fuel consumption :D I went out on sunday, and while out I noticed my rear tyre was errrr cracking up, through errrr a lack of rubber :lol: I obviously decided to make sure I was easy on the throttle as not to tear away the last remaining tad of rubber. Which would leave me running on the...

I was TopKat back in 2014, check signature under my posts, it'll make sense

You must have came second in 2014 and downgraded yourself

It’s just occurred to me..... popkat has earned the change to Topkat

I've never seen it but I think Ron Haslam still does them. One serious reply at least lol But I just wanted to take a pillion out on a track. I did not think any would allow it but thought I would ask. I think perhaps the only place would be the Nurburgring ring. So maybe that is the solution. :D

All of them.!

All you have to do is rent the whole circuit for the day, you can do what you like.

Caravan towing race? Sure.

Hmmmm after hours and bolt croppers !

Don't take this in the worst way mate but why would you be taking a pillion on a track unless you are quite an accomplished rider? (even then why?) I think people usually go a bit harder and test more on a track.... Which means you are more likely to fall off. A risk many take and its their own ris...
