Re: Are you riding this winter? What do you wear?

When your body starts to shut down on the motorway and you go to sleep with the cold you will regret it I'm fine on the motorways though? I've done stints on the motorway for 90 minutes plus and I don't really get too cold, worst I get is numb fingers and if it gets really bad I'll just turn on my ...

Re: Are you riding this winter? What do you wear?

You'd think it was a nuclear winter they way you all dress up :P Funny you should say that Virt. I never had to wear so much until I lost weight. Now I have to replace all that blubber with something I guess :lol: Excuses :P I'm skinny as anything and I still wear nothing.. Well, not literally.. Th...

Re: Know anything interesting about Triumph?

I don't see what's not to like :D ...

Know anything interesting about Triumph?

Got an interview at Triumph Motorcycles tomorrow morning, just curious if anyone knows some lesser known/interesting facts about the company. I've been doing a stalker-level amount of research into them but everything I find seems to be common knowledge :(

Re: Calling all newbies - 2013 dates for your diaries :)

Depending on my A Level exam dates (still not sure of any of them yet ._.) I may be able to go on the ride in May, but that would be about it sadly. Education is such an inconvenience at times :P

Re: Urm, greetings.

My engine braking is actually quite strong for some reason :S Probably the more painful aspect of my commuting on it, rather than the people of rugby not noticing me and causing me to have to balance the bike on its' front wheel occasionally...

Re: Urm, greetings.

Don't worry, I'm sensible. Not gonna crash into anything from power surges :P My logic is that because it's cheap to insure it's not to difficult to tame , and if it is I'll just do basic manouevres and stuff in car parks.. That's how I got used to my 600 after using 125's :) hmm could be? could be...
