With Pecco’s sprint win, it was reason to roll the R out of hibernation for a quick sprint warm up of her own.

Nice. I'm thinking of swapping my 300XC-W for something I can blue plate.

Speaking with my insurer ( a powersport specialist in Ontario regarding trail bikes) there's apparently only 4 or so bikes classified as 'trail" bikes and eligible for the cheap insurance.

My 390 RR-S will cost $330 full coverage on an M2 license of less than a year. basic coverage for about $160

Shoot me your number and I'll pass George's details along, you can see what your options are if you like...

You’re not kidding! I was only thinking this the other week.

Where ARE all the young, daft kids? And why aren’t they riding bikes?

I guess they’re all driving white PCP’d 0.9 litre fiestas. frown
We noticed the same thing at the London bike show….mostly grey hair.

Germany tour Inc nurburgring and GP bank holiday weekend

Bike prep happening just can't make my mind up on running some nearly new S22s or brand new Supercorsa... But it's depending if weathers going to behave

Going with a member on here who's humour is far worse than mine so be interesting to see his setup

Last time we went I had one of these in black on the front that would 'lift up' above 100mph... This time I chose Latino colour



Mandatory race stickers



And the flags to go on the back of my kriegga US20



I wonder how many people I can offend... idea

The youngsters are all at Wheels and Waves, or The Bike Shed, they might be hipsters, but they’re motorcycling hipsters.
