Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread

Bit chilly this morning! My BMW is off the road at the moment due to a fuel leak (it is 25 years old...!) and has no MOT and is not likely to be fixed soon due to other pressures. The Grom is in...

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread

If we count commuting I have ridden plenty :D The little GS125 has been great for the job of puttering along the back roads to work - 17 miles a day and 200+ miles to £10 - it feels like I never have...

So quiet in here! Everyone managing to get some miles in? I have been using the bike a lot lately for all sorts of general running around. Had a mission to "use up" the rest of my old back tyre as...

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread

Our first session we did 4 laps in 20 minutes! Some old bloke on a Hornet (not me!) didn't go over about 65-70mph all the way round! Everyone sat behind him as they were obeying the "sighting laps"...

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread

You know what its like - manic rushing about so didn't get a chance to walk the pits or anything. Had a great time eventually after wishing I had booked into inters/fast instead of novice/inters as...

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread

Couldn't get over 45mph on my 125 on the way home last night (against the stop nearly all the way!) so brought the cage in today and I am glad I did - jeez its windy out there!

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread

That's the issue I had - they were by no means novices and it was a proper baptism of fire for a nervous novice! Fun but daunting at the same time... I would much rather have covered less ground and...

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread

I went down the off-road route for 2 years with my DRZ but found that it wasn't really for me. The local TRF group were welcoming but they were all keen off-roaders with a bit of road riding now...

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread

Managed 10 miles on the GS today and got the swingarm out of the Hornet yesterday - working on the bikes has got me all fired up to start riding properly again. Roll on dry non-salty days :)

Collected the Suzuki exhaust today - been nicely welded up - just needs a coat of VHT black paint as it currently looks like a giant brown turd :p Back on the road next week hopefully! :D

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread

Funds are always an issue! Hopefully the powder-coating will be under £100 (should be) and will spruce up the look of the bike. Thinking that I will probably leave the wheels as they are as they...

Re: 'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread

Tried my Oxford inner gloves this morning - useless things just make it more cumbersome to use the controls and the tips of my fingers were just as cold as yesterday!
