I was the guy on the black SV that pulled along side you in Liverpool opposite the uni one morning last week I think?. We went through the tunnel and along the newferry bypass, then through brombrough, I was wearing camo pants and mx boots.
Haha nice. What exhaust you got? I was trying to explain it to my mate with an sv. BTW I wear the badge so I can beep into work through the gate sensors haha... I'm aware I must look a tool xD
Yeah I thought you looked a bit of a pleb. :bleh: Whats your usual tunnel entrance time? Its a Beowulf Tri-Oval in black, still got the baffle in though, its nice and quiet compared to my CBR lol. Them R125's are alright, seemed capable apart from on the bypass where I felt time beginning to stand still for me hehe. How do you rate it? And whats your inside leg? My friend wants one and I fear she might be too short? I'm hijacking your tyre thread.
It's a good bike... Best 125 I'd say (next to the wr125 if you're tall enough haha). Yeah it will do 84mph downhill but flat like the bypass I'll start getting maxed out about 75. I usually stay below 60 on there just in case the cameras are about (only seen them once). Usually get into the tunnel between 6:15 and 6:30 but my hours are flexy so sometimes can be as late as 8:00. I'm about 5'7" I think... She can have a go if she wants but I'm selling it Tuesday
What you upgrading to? Measure your inside leg for me, are you flat footed both sides? Yeah Ive seen the cameras on there a few times, regular commute for me so you sort of get the feel for when your okay (i.e bridge clear, GOGOGO, slow down for next bridge.. bridge clear, GOGOGO) Pff, 6am - far too early for me :bleh:
Too early for the police too I think shift change must be about that time because I never see any police riding in at that time. I can have one foot flat and the other on toes haha. Only complaint after an hours riding my wrists get tired with putting some of the weight on them... Not ideal but not a nightmare. Will check inside Leg.
Tip of the day, you aren't meant to lean on your bars But yeah, if you could measure that would be great, I guess it could be lowered as well..
Yeah lowering kit is about £50. I know shouldn't lean on bars but it comes with being short haha. XJ6 is the next bike... Much better riding position IMO.
+1↲Move your butt forward and keep your arms bent. It will improve your cornering and braking, as your front suspension will be allowed to work the way it was designed to.
