My wife has hopefully ordered me a Jamie Whitham track training day at Croft for early June next year. I treated myself to some BarkBuster hand covers for my Ducati Scramber Desert Sled and a 2 Ltr camel pack for few those days out when it is warm. I was finding myself seriously dehydrating when...

I suggest you ignore that possibly ill-informed statement. Go to the www.tecmate.com website and look through their FAQs about why batteries fail. I use an Optimiser 4 and have it plugged in to the bike all winter long. You might have a broken cell or something - check for any hot zones on the...

Well done BBB! I really enjoyed that video. I have several observations - first you must have very large testicles! I love that track and I smiled at you getting massive top speed down and starting to decelerate on the main straight before the crest because you knew that sharp turn 1 was next...

Who needs a more comprehensive riding history than the one you already have when you have such a positive attitude? I woke up when I was 45, ached for a little danger in my life went and bought a litre bike and did much same as yourself and did loads of on-road bike training. Unlike yourself I...

You may well be correct Stuart, but this Bennetts the insurer article from 2018 states not all manufacturers have stopped using a release compound The final part of manufacturing a tyre is the curing process ? a carcass containing all the component materials is typically placed into a very hot...

Don't forget to charge your battery at least weekly as well during the colder months. I share an optimate with several bikes in the garage and just keep moving it from one bike to another for 48 hours at a time. It draws next to no power when the battery is charged and keeps it all in tip top...

Always clean your brand new tyre surface with a rag sprayed with some brake cleaner to get rid of the release agent which is applied to the tyre to release it from the mould during production. The shudder is the ABS kicking in, that's why the tyre shop always advise you to ride carefully for the...

Welcome Pedro, Overton is a nice area for riding

Before you get carried away and start calling me weird. You have got me mixed up with someone else about giving a flying fook whether you could buy a new HP4 or not. It was the Goldilocks story we had to endure about various bikes you had looked at being like a bowls of porridge either too hot...

Remember some of us put the engine covers on and will never ride the bike on a track, my engine protection is there to protect the bike in the unlikely event of a minor spill. Why don?t you sell one of your cars and buy a new HP4? Simples

Just to polish off this thread and put it away. The little tab highlighted in the first picture is already in the correct position as shown in the picture and that I spent another ? hour wrestling with it yesterday to finally correct my mistake having turned it upside down from that shown in the...

I did manage to complete the task. Thanks for your contributions I think was I right, the little metal spacer with the tab I showed ringed in an earlier picture which was stopping me push the pads together in the caliper towards the piston causing them to dangle down. It was the wrong way up, I...

I?ve an SC Ti stubby fitted on my 2018 Gen 3. It is very loud. If you go their official website or search on YouTube you can hear them in action. I ordered mine from their website and it took several email reminders and about 4 weeks to deliver it. It sounds similar to the AR stubby too...

I?ve replaced the rear tyre and I am trying to put the rear wheel back into the chassis. I need to fix the rear brake calipers into place over the rear disk as I am inserting the rear wheel. Except that one of my rear brake pads (inner one) is left dangling and I can?t seem to push it back into...

Welcome to the forum! Beautiful neck of the woods you hail from, I loved the time I spent in Miami, Tampa, Clearwater Beach, St Petersburg - many, many years ago, when I was 25 - party towns! Is there a good sports bike scene in your area or mostly cruiser bikes? Tell us about your favourite...

Welcome PJ, The AR slip on will no doubt sound fabulous, good for you, it was on my shortlist too, I also have a 2005 Daytona 955 triple with underseat exhausts and I could never get enough of the sound of the triple on full chat! Intoxicating. I too rode my S1000RR in Rain mode for the first...

Welcome Katie, nice looking bike and interesting to hear of your bike use etc and the mods you have made. Good for you.

Welcome Steve, You picked a great colour scheme. I saw one exactly like that in a dealer in Houston TX which got me salivating and resolved myself to revisit the idea of buying an S1000RR when I got home, I bought one 4 weeks later in Guildford - couldn't wait long enough for the next one in...
