Re: Insurance for VTR - coming from Canada

I live in the Scottish Borders and we often go down to Banburgh / Seahouses with the kids and dog..beautiful part of the country. If I moved from here which is also really lovely, being English I would move to Northumberland. Newcastle is an amazing city in many ways and it's a really good place to ...

Re: FMX650 what you reckon?

I used to have until last year a Honda XR650L, not the 650R! The L version is old school although they still make it for the US. It has the same engine as the FMX, you can do a "Daves Mod" on the carb and it really makes it run better than stock although mine was a US bike so Cali strangle...

Re: Top speed

I know there are variables, namely the size of the rider, but I'm talking your average 13 stoner , on a standard or minor modified bike. Average my ass! I am 15st and that's after losing 3st. How many adults are actually 13st? I was 13st when I was 16. I don't think I could actually ever get to 13st...

Re: Crap Joke #238

Sorry about the double post but it sometimes does that when I post on here.

Re: Lack of Leg Room

I'll try taking the armour out first, as they don't seem too short, if anything I thought they might be too long, maybe I have fat knees!
Good to know it's not just me though.
BTW has anyone crashed and landed or slid on their knees without armour? if so what's it like?

Re: Lack of Leg Room

Can I ask what kind of bike you have been riding? If it was more of an up-right bike it will take you a little while to get used to riding in a more "sport" position. The bike is actually pretty relaxed in the ergo department. For me, I am 6'3" with a 34" inside leg and have no ...

Re: Lack of Leg Room

That's what I think will happen, the trousers have that blank patch behind the knees to help so I think I just need to get used to it. Feel like an old man lifting the legs up on the pegs though, one at a time! I am wearing boots for the first time as well and I really don't like them as you lack so...

Lack of Leg Room

Took the bike out for a blast yesterday as it was a cracking day, went down to Carlisle then up the motorway to Moffat and back home to Selkirk. I've not had the bike long and this was the first time I have ridden by bike with leather trousers on, before I only had Draggin jeans. Anyway I struggle t...

Re: If you appreciate talent watch this

Motorsport at it's best.

Adrian Newey's GT40. Someone recently told me to look this clip up on youtube..thanks for posting it.

GT40's ..best looking car ever made, and it's a Ford (sort of).
Porsche 917's my favourite.
