A picture a day...biker banter (Vol 5)
Discussion
Picked up my B1 this morning. I love it, the induction noise is amazing and it steers so quickly. Goes pretty well for a 600 as well. I can see it getting ridden a lot more than my other bikes although it is bloody uncomfortable.

Taken after a quick wash and the removal of some terrible stickers. Still need to remove the ones on the belly pan.

Great pics Dan, I went for a ride on the 'busa today as it was such a nice day, got 10 miles up the road and the oil cooler decided to piss all the oil over my boot so that was that, shame really, I need to buy another bike 
Oh noes...! Must be a bad day for Suzuki's I had to push a Gixer 750 at Silecroft that had dodgy battery. Was thinking of going to Devils Bridge tomorrow if the weather was nice. 
Had a soggy start to the pitbike practice today but it sooned cleared up, snapped a chain, swore lots then finally decided to stop being a bellend and get my head in the game.
Next session both knees were dragging everywhere for a change and now I cant wait for the next race in 2 weeks time!

Great weather (not raining) and fairly warm (10 degrees) in The Lakes today.
I spent three years at college near Ambleside. Every time I see you w
kers post pictures up North (inc. Scotland) it pisses me off. I live in the most stty place in the country for driving/riding. Apart from that we're alright. Not much rain here I suppose.
Not been on the road bike in 3 weeks so it felt a bit alien at first today switching from the conti race attack to metz m7rr's
Was cold as well, had the leathers and thermals on but something plays in your mind when you are scratching you're sliders in 7-8 degrees and your ends of your fingers are starting to burn - surprisingly good grip though with only a few bum twitch moments mainly coming out of fast roundabouts
For anyone that runs a Tuono v4 it's amazing what a difference Tc3 to tc5 does. Going higher this time of year definitely keeps it more in check.
It was all about the nakeds today with my highly artistic picture (not quite Scotland scenery) having a coffee, fuel and piss
Gsxs1000 with decat, map, sports exhaust and 2t up on gearing made that a potent bike. Just needs better boingers.
The MT10 also decat but oem exhaust which sounds lovely... It's not as quick as that gsxs though and struggles to keep the wheel down everywhere
The guys on the SD 2.0 and Monster 1200S MY17s swapped bikes... Ducati guy quickly said he'd bought the wrong bike and wished he saved more for the Duke
Of all the bikes there the 1290 is the only one that really is 'that' quick. It's mapped, decat and that's it... And my 1100 is very very close
