Re: The next rideout......
What a crap day out! First corner out of my road and I nearly lose it...rear lost traction bike heads for the ground and give a bit of full lock on the opposite direction just get the bike upright.
Spent the next 30 mins waiting for ASM and when he finally arrives my battery dies on me. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Re: The next rideout......
Tsk tsk you lot are pathetic apart from Jon who had a mechanical problem! ASM sees one patch of ice and goes home! Me and phil had a nose around Fox's and M+P and then went for a private blast up the old B4011. Roads were lovely and we got some really fast riding in; it was fun! Then we went and set up Phil's suspension on the ZZR. Conclusion, with the 1200 rear shock, even on maximum springyness it only travels 20mm, Phil needs to eat more pies!
Oh and I did another wheelie by mistake. Good day out! |

Re: The next rideout......
The roads were fine! a bit greasy in the shade but on the whole some very grippy surfaces. we had a pretty spirited blast, some nice 110mph corners on the private race track
I just had to tinker didn't I. I tried to bleed the breaks on the ZZR some more and now they are worse! Time to stop fannying around and fit the fireblade calipers me thinks. Cheers for the help with measuring stuff Nick. |

Re: The next rideout......
I went out for a mini ride this afternoon.
From what i saw the roads were dodgy until about 11:30. With Jon going home and Tony staying in bed, there didn't seem much point. It would have been a lonely ride up to/back from Fox's. |
