I was in two minds about getting one when i was looking for the storm, but on looking at the forum the "What fell off yours today?" thread killed it for me!

Yes, but has anyone crashed in textiles?
I have heard that textiles make you tumble rather than slide, also do they melt to you if you do slide?
Personally i feel a bit undressed it textiles, probably due to the lack of weight, the jackets that is, certainly not mine...

I think this raises the problem with "modern" machinery, it is too complicated to keep going. Look at the Spitfire, very simple and apparently there are over 60 still flying.http://www.military-airshows.co.uk/spitaw.htm Can't see that happening with the F-35 70 years on!

'ere Ginge, can i have a pint of that????

Funny you should mention sell by dates, I have just been clearing the fridge of an elderly friend who is in hospital.
Star of the show was a packet of cheese triangles, best before June 2009 almost everything else was from this decade...

So glad it isn't just me, I have put the baffles back in mine as when on a run there would be a 1/4 mile gap before the next bike....
I have thought about putting the standard pipes on, but thats as far as I get!

Just wow, oh and

Hope you enjoy it, if a bike was my sole transport again, it would be something like this.

Not sure yet but its in the diary.

Sorry to hear your woes, hope you get back on your feet/wheels soon.

Although as a Type 1 diabetic perhaps just the one!

^^^ Could the greater number of jets be for the larger range in altitude that a bike in the US might find itself in rather than the UK?

What sort of time were you thinking of?

Very striking, envy your skills!

Lovely shots
