My R1 needs new boots, planning on paying Carsons a visit this week to get a price. I'll probably take in loose wheels though to save a few quid :)

Thanks Vinny, I found a 2k miler on eBay for £65 and fitted it today, works beautifully :)

Thanks for all your help :)

Thanks chaps, that's a good idea I'll check it out :)

Morning guys,

I'm currently assisting a neighbour as he wants to get into bikes. We bought an old non-running T plate GS500E for pennies and I've got it running beautifully, have stripped, cleaned...

:eek: I went past there at quite a rate of progress on Saturday!!

I live 9 miles from Warminster, I'd love to receive further details of how I could be of assistance :)

How do you get water in the oil on an AIR cooled bike?!

6k!!!! A friend had BT014s on his ZX6R and didn't get great tyre life - he switched to BT020s in the end.

I've never had more than 2 - 2.5k miles out of a rear :( That was on a ZX7R though, which...

I had one on my TLR. When I took it off to sell the bike, it felt a bit slower.

I had the Nikko G Pack, which is the expensive, clever, one.

My SD cam is an MXJVC (JVC clone from the canary islands - my daft parents bought it) worth about £50. Just look on ebay and you'll find SD cameras for about £50 easily.

Furry - if you join us...

Dabz is the man in charge. I'm always up for a blast, going to Poole Quay tonight which should be fun.

I've got a cheapo SD camera and £5 HAMA suction mount. Works ok but id like to have a bullet cam as if I get caught with a camera on the tank, the Police will have all the evidence they need to...

Yup, mine did the same but I took a slightly different approach - I took it back after only 3 months and rode away on an R1 instead ;) To be fair, the TLR isn't a bad road bike, it's just if you want...

Get someone who has more skill to ride it and see what they think - its probably just your confidence. If you're in the Salisbury area i'm happy to take it round a few bends to see how it feels if it...

I've just gone with MCE - i'm 25 and own a £4500 Yamaha R1 which ISN'T garaged.

£650 Fully Comp. Bargain.

GWS Richie, really saddened to hear that you'd lobbed it. Hope you mend quick, and, much LESS importantly, hope the bike isn't too badly mashed. I know from my off (though much less serious), the...

Well there's Protyre in Westbury but I always go to Micheldever Tyres in Micheldever. They're the cheapest place i've found, and do a ride in, ride out fitting service. It's sounds like a long way...

Thanks buddy, glad you approve :) hehe. It's more bike than i'll ever need, but that's never a bad thing, eh! ;)

Oh of course!

Ish.

;)

Check it for crash damage - it's unlikely anything particularly bad could have gone awry in 1600 miles without it going down the road! Check all parts that could touch down in the event of a crash...

hehehe. I've been starting to get used to it now, and I don't panic every time it shakes it's head (a lot). Sadly i've not seen over 160mph yet, I keep catching up to vehicles that were previously...

Sorry Emma, I have to be in Egham by 12:30 on saturday, otherwise i'd come over and have a look for you.

PS Are you aware there's a rideout happening on Sunday?

LOL. I owned my ZX7R for two years, but TLR really was an evil handling piece of crap! I've wanted an R1 since they released it in '98 - I was a 19yo college student at the time and my friends and I...

Thanks lads :)

Well, after two months of TL1000R ownership, including one trackday, I came to the conclusion that a V twin with a bad attitude and 'interesting' handling really was not for me. So, I went back to...
