A picture a day....biker banter (Vol 3)

Proper hook over the timber - not going to jinx it by saying anything else. Need to keep my K7 neat against the wall, K2 600 track bike incoming

Empty wash buckets - have to put them up there or stepdad will end up mixing cement in them or something!

Side stands, why people don't have them for track days is a mystery to me, I hat parking next to people who don't have then because they usually want help putting it on a stand or they fk up and nearly hit my bike.

Fit a side stand.

Clearance? Since putting rearsets on my Fireblade it's a bit tight getting my foot under the gear lever, as it's that bit closer to the side stand.

No One I know has any problems with a side stand fitted me included with my Fireblade.

Good road trip on the CBR 300R, from Hua Hin to Kanchanaburi in Northen Thailand. Used back roads all the way, some wonderful 'twisties' through the hills at Ratchaburi.
Stopped over for the night in Kanchanaburi, visited the War Graves of the men who died building the railway for the Japs, and went to the museum. Thought provoking stuff.....how they were treated!
Left the next day and rode up into the mountains near Three Pagodas Pass, then back to Hua Hin via Khaen Krachan.
Did 670 ks on this great little bike. I cannot speak enough of how good this bike is, for a starter, or someone like me who is getting back into biking. Fantastic package, but 160 kph flat out, revving at 10,000 !
Off to see a new CBR 500R on friday, so this little gem will be up for sale.......but I have really had my moneys worth for the year I have owned it.
Looked at a Ducati Panigale 899, but at 750,000 bht ( about £16 k ) bit too much of a jump up, and I doubt I would do it justice.
So the CBR 500 seems to be the best next move?

Thailand has a big contrast in the type of roads, they are either unmade dirt tracks or wonderful 'twisties' like this.

Great pics JB - that chap on the BM GS is trying

It's a shame he rode it round the paddock full of bikes and people like a cocksocket!

First proper ride on the new bike,200 odd miles on a loop over the North York moors

Some great roads up there

Lovely bike, they are so much more special than the common as muck HP4

[Simes205]

Finally finished replacing chain / sprockets, rebuilt the hub and rear caliper on my nc30.
It's been on the abba stand for 5 weeks looking unfinished. Garage time is limited with work and a small one.
Managed a quick shake down tonight, first time in 5 months!

Thought it would be rude not to have a little picnic in the sunshine

Did your silencer fall off?

There is a 10" baffle in there believe it or not, whether it actually does anything is another question entirely.

Well that's for the courts to decide.

Looks good.

Hey Bazza, nice to see you at Embra zoo today. Okay, so you're not one for small talk. I can dig it.

Had one as my first bike many moons ago. Would have another in a heartbeat if I wasn't too tall for it. Had to sell mine after after a few months as I was in agony after a decent ride. Great little bike though!


Edited to add a at Castex. Very good.

Do you know if that outfit was a 860 Ducati by any chance?

Using man-logic I decided to trade my S1000RR in for a slower, cheaper bike...
