Re: Gearbox question
My SV gearbox is exactly the same as every other Suzuki gearbox I've used: slick and smooth. They've ALL had the quirk of sometimes not being able to get neutral from first gear when the bike... |

Re: Ride to Betws-y-Coed
Can't this time, Gary, but have a good one. Are you planning on heading over the top to Bala, then the A4212 & B4391 to Ffestiniog and up to Betws? |

Re: The All New Megathread
Same weather here. It was dry and 17 celsius yesterday, I had a lovely ride to Whitchurch with a fast zap down the A41, and today it's February again. |

Me too. It's motorcycling ASMR, especially with his West Country burr ... "but I got there in the end" "I was really pleased with that" "just perfect" "Tracy had made cupcakes!" |

Re: The benefits of body armour...
Interesting, but I disagree based on my own personal experience. When I wrote off my K6S on a patch of diesel in 2019, I went down HARD on my hands and knees at about 40mph. I was wearing... |

The state of other peoples' bikes
I was at a biker cafe (Ponderosa in North Wales) yesterday, and about to ride off. A rider pulled up next to me on a Triumph Tiger and as I glanced over, I noticed the chain was bright orange with... |

Re: The All New Megathread
:D Certainly in the summer months the Harley riders turn out in force and give it an American flavour. However, it's a bit chilly for them at the moment! |

Re: The All New Megathread
Just back from the Ponderosa via the Nant-y-Garth pass and Ruthin. It actually feels like Spring is springing at last. A very nice ride, although there was a lot of run-off from fields on the... |

Re: The All New Megathread
Pottering today as the weather is showery, but tomorrow is expected to be dry so the chain is lubed & tyre pressures checked ready for a burn to the Ponderosa / Ruthin or thereabouts. Sunday &... |

Re: carbon fuel tank vent cartridge
I haven't removed it myself but I can't see how it would cause a problem as there isn't a sensor connected to the carbon can. I think you could probably join the tubes to and from the can with a... |

Re: The All New Megathread
Morning Gary. The weather seems to have decided it's mid-February again here: cold, raining and blustery. Good job I had a 50-mile spin on the bike yesterday. |

Re: The All New Megathread
No real plans, Gary - just pottering around. Hopeful of a spin on the bike if the weather dries up at some point. |

Re: Caught a McLaren on my GSX yesterday
In spring last year I rode to Llyn Tegid at Bala, pulled into the lake car park and there were over a dozen McLarens parked up, must have been an owner's club meet or similar. Quite a sight. In... |

Re: The All New Megathread
Morning Gary. No plans, and that's the way I like it it. Although I'd prefer it if the weather forecast was more promising. As I'm a sad sort who makes a note of which days I've ridden on and... |

Re: The All New Megathread
Beautifully bright and frosty here. A walk over Kerridge ridge beckons, but will wait for it to warm up a little first. Arsenal vs the Toon tonight, and no fixed plans for Sunday. |
