Benny, I take it that you put the Maxxis Supermaxx Touring on rather than the Maxxis Supermaxx Sports??

Ahh phew!... Still just 1of2 then :-)

I'm very surprised you didn't see me as well, not only was I on a White firestorm, but I was all geared up in hi-vis stuff cos is was p155ing it down when i left Liverpool!! :-)

Ok, quick update so far. Fitted the WindJammer on Friday night... took about 2 minutes including unrapping. very easy to stick on, although you dont really stick it on, its more grippy rubber if you know what I mean. Took the bike out for a ride on Sunday, sweaty as feck as I got stuck behind everyt...

Spotted: White Firestorm going towards Altrincham on the A538 just coming out of Wilmslow. [Today 28/06/10 - 6:15ish]

It definitely wasn't me (I was on mine.... and I'd know if I'd seen me)... so unless it was you Benny, you've gone from 1of1 to 1of3 in about as many weeks

HOLY Sh1T !! 900 miles!!

Thats 2 weeks of driving to work and back with one run out to Buxton!

Righty then... check for Arai accessories and there isn't a dedicated wind deflector type thing for all the way around... just one that goes under your chin. So... I've plumped for the Proline one... I'll give it a good test and post back my results! I was thinking of changing to the Shoei Raid II (...

thanks for the replys y'all. In terms of the type of riding I do, its mostly commuting (either up the A34 to Manchester, or at the minute over Near Liverpool Airport from Macclesfield) so end up being in varied conditions, however I'll take the car if its pi55ing it down in the morning, dont mind ge...

Ok then, as the title suggests I wondering if anyones used the windjammer II from Proline? http://www.proline-sports.co.uk/acatalog/UK_Wind_jammer_21.html Since getting my Firestorm I've noticed (its hard to miss) that the Screen's turbulant air is directed straight to the bottom of my helmet (aroun...

I'm running Scorpion Cans, not sure if its been jetted or got standard filter (will check on next service) I do know however that its been very well looked after and serviced regualry. My fuel light came on this morning at 110.2 miles which by my Calcs: 16l tank with light coming on at 2.5l remainin...

Great write up!

I'm in the same boat as you, picked up my 1st VTR a week ago, and am loving every minute of it!

V-Twin all the way from now!

LMFAO, 'Welding Rod' everyone needs a mate like that!! I once decided to check if my disc brakes had been cut in to with my pads by giving them a quick feel with my fingers.... problem was I'd just got back from a 45 minute runout over the Cat&Fiddle road.... put is this way, I didnt play my gui...

Just been searching/reading posts on tyres for the Firestorm and after reading 'Whoa Nelly!' post about his SuperMaxxes, he sounds pretty happy with them... I currently have Pirreli Diablo's on which feel ok, but there on the way out so I cant really judge them in their current state. My question is...

Thanks for the welcome guys. Sorry for the p155ing on your bonfire Benny :-) if its any consolation mines got a pearlesent glitter to it that you can see when the sun catches it. and yeah both cam chain tensioners have been done in the last year, so all good there. Still, 1 of 2 isnt a bad shout.......

Hello everyone! Quite a mixed set of circumstances have lead me to this forum, but I can say I've very glad to be on here... long and short of it.... Someone kindly pulled out of a junction on me on by beloved '01 600 Hornet (Which I never thought I'd part with), and what looked like a pretty undama...
