    Best all tyre

    I've found Michelin Pilot Roads to be good in most conditions even cold and wet. Haven't tried them on the Beemer though.

    Kawasaki on a mission to beat BMW on ugliness

    I just find the 2021 ZX-10R disappointing. Was hoping that Kawasaki brought more to the party rather than just a facelift. If not for Jonny Rea they wouldn't be up the top of the table in WSBK; the Yamaha seems to have been the best overall package based on the number of riders who can go fast...

    Welcome note!

    UK roads aren't what the bike is designed for either. Mix of rain and potholes :)

    Welcome note!

    Going from a Tmax to an S1000RR - that's bold. Take your time getting used to the new bike it's going to be a steep learning curve from your previous ride.

    Custom Painted Wheels

    Why have they just painted over the original BMW paint? That seems like a really bad idea and doomed to failure from the start.

    SBS bought by Brembo

    Won't be long before we have megacorps running the world (the conspiracy nuts will have us believe they already do)

    Lever Guards Required

    Re: Lever Guards Reqyired Probably the reason why they're introducing the rule

    Custom Painted Wheels

    Had to remind myself what the wheels looked like, but they don't seem that complicated. Could be worth getting a quote and asking around. I can ask a friend who does paint and body repairs if you like (West London)

    after 10 weeks of no bike :)

    I may have spoken too soon. 10 minutes later it all went dark :(

    after 10 weeks of no bike :)

    Great news. Hope the weather in your area is as nice as it is here. Bright blue skies with some wispy white clouds - although I bet that means it's cold out there

    I 'm liking the bellypan. Which one is it?

    Synetiq BMW 2021

    Yeah, I thought Ray was doing pretty good by the end of the year. Often the best of the BMWs once he got over the hump. The Gen4 hasn't been too good in race trim

    Who's still riding

    My boss said take the afternoon off and go out on your bike. So I'm doing just that. I have a good boss :)

    Low mileage vs Age.... What's the tradeoff?

    If you can put it back to stock and sell the accessories separately you'll get a slightly better return on your money. It does look nice though - James May had one in the same colour (now for sale at Bahnstormer in Maidenhead)

    Discharge

    Lithium batteries aren't great for the slow draw that you get on a bike fitted with a tracker/alarm. Also not good giving them a full charge; for service life it's best keeping them in the 60-80% range, but that's not something realistically possible in the real world so aim for 20-90%...

    What you wearing?

    It was about ?1500 in the kangaroo leather & extra armour; that includes shipping and taxes. Not bad for a custom fit suit in custom colours.

    What you wearing?

    Yeah, I've always had 2 piece up to now. Gonna miss having pockets, the suit only has one that isn't even big enough for my phone
