Not sure on plans yet, a few more parts, might get rid of the blue then have it vinyl wrapped in a Superbikes scheme.

Is it just me that hates the effects?

I just want to see some proper, non-fooked-up pictures!

Nice bike though, and I think carbon fibre looks good, but it seems a bit silly when it's adding bits not replacing them, like the frame covers.

Interesting bikes, not over keen myself and the photoshoot results really didn't work IMO.

Still, as long as you're happy Thumbs Up

He's only just got into photography, they're his shots and effects, I'll ask him about it when I see him.

removed the photo's, found out today he was using AEB and then HDR'ing them but not aligning the images so they came out blurred lol.

I'll sort the originals.

The covers are for protection should the bike get dropped. Yes, they look tarty but carbon fibre is just about the strongest, lightest material for this purpose. If you are going to add crash protection, then you want the lightest stuff around.

It won't help. Cleaning the bike might, though. If you're going to post tarty pics, at least make an effort.

Having seen some of your riding videos on youtube, I'd be pleased if you spent some cash on some advanced riding instruction (and I mean that in a nice way). We don't need another RIP thread Wink

The S1000RR frames get incredibly hot (google it if you don't believe me) due to the air being passed through them and then out of the vents pointing at your inner leg, the frame covers are a common mod to keep your legs cool.

Interesting to know! Also feel quite smug to hear that the pictures are blurred and that it isn't just my eyes getting worse Laughing .

My bike tends to cook my right arse cheek, although it doesn't seem as bad now with an Akrapovic fitted Cool . Right foot still gets ruddy hot, stupid cat Mad

My personal opinion is that Glynn is one of the few riders that has given me good, useful, advice for fast riding. He has boundless confidence in his abilites which may come across as a little reckless at times.


Unfortunately the roads around Stoke do not suit fast riding. It is a pity that he doesn't do more track days.

I keep thinking about putting one of them stickers on for a plate but then I keep thinking of how many times I will keep getting pulled... how you get away with those plates is beyond me! They must not give a fuck down your way!

This is the first bike I've ever had where the mirrors actually work and I can see past my elbows Laughing With the kind of crap I get up to I have to stay very aware of plod so I'd rather keep them.
