Police advanced, " when stationary, cover the brake" or it was when I was in. Used to tell us "look like amateurs with both feet down"
But Ive been retired 9 yrs and things change.

Re: handling
Yorkieboy, I agree with you its a confidence thing. You need to relax, slow down and enjoy then slowly speed up as confidence grows. Its only a matter of a few hours, a day or so will do it. Ive seen blokes who are tense it seems to make them erratic, smooth that's the way to go,...

Re: Well, crap. Laid it over.
God I hate that feeling, you know its going , it seems to be in slow motion adrenaline's pumping and slowly its got to be laid down cos its gone passed that point of no return. All us motorcyclists know the feeling its one you cant describe. Then when the bike is back up your arm...

Re: Tyre pressures and handling
I run at 36 psi front 42psi rear on 2011 TC. But if Ive got the missus on I increase rear to 46 psi rear and leave the front at 36. Ive tried all sorts of combinations but these seem to suit me best. If the rear is ...

Re: re-fitting muffler
Just a quick one since its been mentioned. What exactly is the "Exhaust flow control valve" I realise by its name it must control the exhaust gasses but why is it required?? It seems very exposed to elements, if it goes wrong does it have a adverse effect on bike I could imagine ...

Action camera ie Drift Ghost
Has anyone stuck one of these on the bike?? Most Ive seen are on the helmet,or them chest harnesses wondering if it would go behind the screen.

Re: should servo breaks be a deal breaker?
I agree with RTman10 and Budman. Go for the one without servo. if it goes wrong its horrendous plus I found that even changing the brake fluid was expensive so that added to service costs.
