My two pennies worth Back brake - I think there's two points here. If riding hard on twisties etc, then try to avoid it where possible. I've been riding for a while and it does take some skill to use the back brake to knock of some speed when going quickly around a corner. My first ever attempt did ...

Cupasoop - ah, but did you get the weather :lol: It was the music and seafood festival at the weekend so we thought it would be an ideal destination for a club outing (and they take some organising). It turned out to be fantastic w/end, the roads up there are sheer bliss. I managed to use up a tank ...

Second hand CCTs for any budding engineer

Hi Guys/Gals Just got my Storm back from it's 32,000 service. After reading various posts about the CCTs, I got the nagging feeling in my stomach that once reaching 32,000 (well 33,000) miles with the originals, I think I should be pro-active and had them change both of them anyway. Knowing that the...

Condolences Your heart always sinks a little when you read something like that, sinks more when the person is a familiar face. Agree with riding in groups does make you try a little harder that you should, but I just think of my daughters big brown eyes and surprisingly I slow down a little. The gro...

The Benelli is a gorgeous bike. Always wanted one, could never afford one. Stormin Ben - I have to check out the Britten, but yes, the Rad location is a great idea, and it may require some ducting to provide a consistent airflow. Now, what do we do with all the ancillary bits under the seat unit. Re...

Would a modified Storm rad give sifficient cooling surface. Fair enough, it's colder here than in the majority of the States, but raises the question, what would happen "in town", or on an especially hot day (plz give us more). How many times have you had your shins cooked on a hot day rid...

That is one smart mod, even if you're keeping a fairing. Let them all guess where the rads are :lol: On a more serious note. If I would have known/spotted this at the start of the winter months, I would certainly have considered doing it there and then, but now with the bike just coming out of winte...

Kinross is just up the road

I'm in Alloa, which isn't that far from Kinross. I'm usually up for a run and willing to try to keep up with most people.

Wanna go for a run, gimmie a shout. :twisted:
