Oh right, nice one!

The joys of knowing organisors eh? ;0

I duno, you seem to me to be a bit more sensible about it - theres something about the stuff you do, and the way that you describe it that gives off a kind of mature attitude to it - unlike a lot of the stunters i see down my way...

Keep it up Thumbs Up

I want to go pro next year and do shows so gotta be sensible about it, hard to find places to ride though, especially legal ones.. I've got two legal spots but they are both 2 hours away... checking out a place on sunday, not legal but it's v quiet and we think we'll get away with it.. trying to find something a bit closer to the south coast !

Out again today and thought I'd give the back break a rest!!! So happy!! Needs a bit more work on the height still but considering I only learnt it today and I don't normally do any off-break wheelies then I think it's pretty smart :biggrin:Smile

The after math!! Fucked front fairing, twisted headlight bracket thing, otherwise okay!! didn't stop me practicing anyway hehe, just a shame we didn't get the whole crash on video, the reason for that is because my bike headed right at the camera person!!! Good job it didn't hit her lol..

Nice photos. You could pretty easily patch that together with some fibreglassing I think.

Laughing It's like a 15 minute job with a £5 kit from Halfrauds, I've been really impressed how well it fixed a snapped off piece of my top fairing.

I remember you saying ina post before about someone having a slow bike on a rideout "Dont worry, I just practiced killing the clutch......." That was when you had the R6.

Come on leaps and bounds since huh. Must be easy peasy with such a big rear sprocket though aint it?

That's only +6 from standard so it's not exactly big, just looks it.. The bike will stall out if the gearing is smaller, I'd like to keep it stock-ish but whats the point if it means I can't wheely at 10mph without the bike stalling? Crying or Very sad

Was that a pun?!

I'd like to be as much as a tart as that, but I don't want (any more) broken bones and bikes!

Only problem with it maurice is it can't take any sort of pressure without snapping again so pretty much useless to someone who insists on dropping his bike every ten minutes.

Looking good though 'yams' Razz Thumbs Up

Doing slow wheelies is probably a load less likely for you to end up with broken bones than riding the sports bike fast Neutral.


So, know of anywhere decent over Berkshire way sparks? Smile

You're not doing it right then Razz

I've used it to fix stressed fairing mounts that were ripped/snapped off by the wind when it came off, and they've stayed solid.
