Who's owned what??
Kiwi60 listed some old Suzuki's he owned which got me thinking, who's owned what bikes over the years??? I didn't want to hijack that thread so I'll start a new one. I have to cast my mind back but I think I've owned, in rough order: Yamaha TY80 Suzuki TS100 Honda CR80RB Yamaha YZ125G Yamaha XT200 2...

Well Steve, let's revisit this post at the end of the year and see what happened!! BTW Mick's is an 87 not 89 - and I hear there is also a guy joining PCRA this year who has an 87 ex Superbike with all the right kit and in his day was nipping at the heels of the top guys, he was at the One Hour chec...

Steve, quite right!! Kiwi the other thing I have some trouble with is tyre pressures - more about how much "cold" pressures vary, for example if its 10 degrees then you are going to get a different reading than if its 30, naturally enough. So when manufacturers or bike shops or whoever talk about co...

I should clarify too - when I say almost anything should be ok, I don't mean road touring tyres for example!! just that all true sports/race tyres are now so good that any of them will be more than adequate. The treaded versions such as Pilots etc offer something slicks may not, which is they potent...

Kiwi, I'm direct Scottish, arrived in '81 and you'll love this - in 2008 I did the whole season on a secondhand Michelin rear that cost me $50, it's now on my FZR to do a track day on! Admittedly it was on a VFR which didn't exactly rip the pavement up and the FZR should finish it off, but you can g...

Well done Michael, having lined up on the same grid as this bike I can tell you it is a rocketship. In fact it's probably the quickest Pre Modern bike in a straight line running in NSW the past year. I'll never forget Butler pulling a monster, involuntary wheelstand off the grid at EC during the Bar...

Steve, I've only ridden mine on the road so its a limited comparison, but certainly the EXUP has a lot more midrange as you'd expect - in fact I'd say the VFR feels like it has more midrange than Mick's 1000, even though it probably hasn't. The basic chassis dynamics felt similar, as did the layout ...
