Re: Speeding biker clocked at 383mph

He was obviously riding a 2003 ZZR 250, making it quite believable. Yes, he should loose his license for letting out the secret of how quick those bikes really are!!! heheheh (brainwashing still evident) :)

Re: Have i been discriminated against because i wear a helmet??

Thanks Maxi
Yes, the broken air gauge maybe is/was a sign. Maybe there is a higher intelligence looking out for me.I will be visiting another servo to check my tyre pressures very soon IE today. And thus find my new regular servo.

Spooky for me but see your reasoning, as tyre pressures are very ...

Re: ZZR250 cold start

Re: Bar Risers ZZR600

And some good things to report. But first the bad things!! ;)
Had to adjust my mirrors for the first time in ages and second there is no more length in the front brake cable tube/housing. So cannot go any higher than the 25mm, without replacing cable.
The good things:
A) more height, straighter ...

I use the high octane stuff and top the tank right up ...
