It's all well and good until it goes wrong, and as we know when it goes wrong on a bike..........

It's the same here in the UK. "using" your phone is basically touching it whilst your behind the wheel with the engine running, and gets you an £80 fine and three points on your licence. Deaths from phone useage in car's is levelling out with drink driving now, it's lethal! And tablets...

The clamps are 'butchered' from a moto-x bike, re drilled and welded up by myself. I believe they were 1" rise , so easy to get hold of really. As for the bar angle, we'll it must be an optical illusion, as they were actually quite flat. I've got knackered wrists, so the standard bars were...

I had a contimotion rear in mine last year, great tyre, but the FZ chomped it after 3k miles (sport/touring???) It'll go to the edge quite happily, and grind them hero blobs off with ease. (snapped my left one off!!!) You've just got to trust them buddy! Most s/t tyres nowadays are pretty good...

I fitted some lowered risers using the standard bars, and here's the result. Clearance was "feelers gauge" thickness It worked, but only just, and I couldn't live with it, and I'm a very long armed mutha!

Provisional deal has been struck on a p/x for an R1. Last shout before I go for it. Last offer £4200 for the fully modded bike. Any takers?

2010 Fz1s Fazer. 12 month MOT/6 months tax 31000 miles (it's been toured on, but that's nothing, it's what it was built for!) Service history up to 22k, then I did it myself as I'm an engineer. In good condition with the following mods. MIVV carbon GP can (link pipe has slight dent on it) BMC...

Aaah, I'm not used to weather getting that hot over here in the UK, forgot you US boys get a decent summer[emoji24]. Hence why an Aerostitch is good for me. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I wear a uniform to work every day, and just throw my Aerostitch AD1 pants over the top with a bike jacket, change my boots for shoes and away I go. Look on the Aerostitch website for the roadcrafter suit. Expensive, but it'll last forever, and you can be out of your bike kit and ready for work...

Obviously never ridden an mt-09 then, the bike is a cracker! And that engine is spot on as a road powerplant. [emoji1] Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I washed it.... Me, washing my bike? It's the first time since the Wales meet! Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

I tried a set of square F1 type of mirrors, but they vibrated like a divorcee's bedroom drawer. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

Here's mine with the latest bar end mirrors I made for her. Miles better visibility. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

I've got a 10 plate bike, and it's great. Plenty of poke throughout the rev range as standard, but you obviously won't leave it like that! Spend a little on tuning, and they become a real beast! Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

Holy shit! That's Erm..... Impressive to say the least! [emoji48] Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

Been using the whittlebeast smoothed and lean map. It's pretty awesome! Power starts at 3500rpm, and just keeps climbing. Lots more low/mid torque than before. I have all your mods, but with trimmed flies too. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

I nearly took my thumb off whilst splitting firewood with a hatchet I'd spent ages sharpening. Chop, chop, chop, thud.......[emoji43] It went 1/3 way through the side of my thumb, stopping in the middle of my nail, resting on the bone. It smarted a bit! Cried like a little girl I did! [emoji23]...

Some of them even 'cheat' and over read to make their tuning look better! Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

The first thing about rolling roads are, they're not that that accurate. You could teat your bike on dozens of r/r and get quite a difference in power output on the screen. The important thing is that you got a comparison figure to start with, and made a gain after the tweaking. Now that's a...

Got a MIVV carbon GP on mine, and I'm always getting comments on how raw it sounds by those that ride it, and those that follow me. I kept the baffle in, and it's not what I'd call antisocial, but it can certainly be heard put it that way![emoji86] Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk
