What's pi$$ed me off today.........!!

no feckin chance mate

 

not so mush what pissed me off...more... 'what amazed me in the negative...'

Having chance to fiddle with Daytona, I decided to check the settings on my suspension...having thought about the right hander at Lydden (where the entrance on to the track is), I found that my bike seems to be snaking through there no matter how balanced the throttle was....I have to my amazement found (despite the dealers having said settings have been set to standard), the
Preload was wound out x10 (Std is out x5)
Damper was wound out 20 clicks (Std is x6 clicks)
Compression was wound out 12 clicks (Std is 7 clicks)

I'm not going to mention the rear.

I know I'm light, but I don't think the above settings make much sense and if anything would give an incredibly soft and unbalanced front...

 

were those factory Settings ??

 

no...factory settings are supposed the Standard (Std) settings.... ... I have no idea what those settings on the bike were, but logic dictates it definitely doesn't resemble any reasonable setting.

 

Watching the UKBA close down our local (& very nice) recently opened Indian last night when they took them all away. Just been down & they must've had a new delivery as it's open once more.

 

I think Lost was pullling a muscle......now with the left hand.....

 

Might just have to do the Ace tonight as its so damn nice and warm..... Life is such a bitch sometimes.........

 

the dawning realisation that black is not the low maintainance colour I invisioned

 

And the Ace was bloody good, manic, and mental!!! Bikes all over the shop and parked all the way down the road......
Tyre smoke in abundance! Nice......

 

The amount of shit accumulated on a bike chain even though it looks real clean.....just goes to show.......

 

Villa all booked and paid for in tenerife,8 wks away. Just had an email saying owner has pulled out of all arranged bookings. Can have money back ,doesnt help finding a suitable villa with such short notice.very few remaining,have scanned many sites..

 

Two twats on rice rockets intimidating a car behind me. They came from nowhere, rode like total wankers and are exactly the type that give us a bad name...and if you two are on here, I would LOVE to meet up with you! . Road to T Wells just off the Mayfield bypass and before Mark Cross around middayish.

 

What were they doing Kitten? Did the car driver cause the reaction, or where they just being assholes?

 

They came from nowhere, car had been behind me from Five Ashes and was driving sensibly, even moved over to let them pass him. But they wouldn't. One rode by the side of him then fell back, rushed forward, zigzagged right next to the car. Total wankers. They were behaving like they had just passed their test and had real attitude. Hard to describe. Wouldn't be surprised if the front one gets smeared across the road within the next six months if he continues riding like that.

 

I hope i'm there if you see them again
Know what you mean though, there is a difference. Sounds like they were complete twaTS. Not good.

 

Having to fit a new screen on my bike after a lorry flicking a stone up yesterday and smashing it ... found some chips on tank now so need a touch up stick any one know where to get one from ??

 

I just got a 100ml tin of paint from Brighton Auto Paint. However, despite the, being recommended, and giving them the colour codes, it's not a perfect match... Finchy has found somewhere further east which did a spot on match so hopefully he'll see this and reply.
