    Group rides could be band.

    As well as riding in a group of 2 or more, I've also just read that one of the activities banned under the terms of the injunction by Harlow is the sounding of horns. Unbelievable... So you may be in contempt of court for sounding your horn, one of the most effective safety devices on a...

    Group rides could be band.

    Twats... So I pull up at some lights where another biker is waiting. We have a chat, the lights turn green and we ride off on the same route. We are now breaking the law. The police pull us over and we are in court for riding in a group of 2 or more. Totally unenforcible imo, seems to...

    Mt-07 222km/h + night riding in Portugal

    <rant> Would have been a great video if you were on the racetrack :mad: I know I'm a grumpy gills but you've really got to take more care of yourself and others. Riding like that on a public road is just asking for grief. See we bitch about drivers switching lanes in front of us, but in that...

    AAAAAAnd she's gone.....

    I've just bought the latest MCN and the MT-10 has an excellent write up. If you like the looks it may be worth test riding one when the dealers have it

    How do you normally buy your insurance?

    IMO no nothing wrong with what you are doing. Exactly the same happens to me, and like you I shop around on the interweb come renewal time. It's exactly as you say, the insurance companies make their money on a portion of over-inflated premiums and admin charges. If some poor sucker has this...

    Designed and 3D printed my own passenger peg blanking plates

    Hi kodde. I'd buy these from you. Would it be worth you printing x amount of these based on feedback in this thread. If you are willing then give a price and postage to UK (or other countries). I'm sure many on this thread would pay a sufficient amount for it to be worth your while.

    little update

    Blue, what version of the denali soundblaster (or is it the soundbomb) did you buy, and where did you get it from in the UK? Also if you have any more pics of the way you fitted it that would be great as I am thinking of this myself.

    Wanted: MT07 ABS (Private Buyer) - What Have You?

    I too came from a CBR600 to the MT-07. You won't regret it, the MT-07 is way more fun in my opinion, but I'm hanging on to mine :p

    My planned mods are done for now, whats next?

    I'd definitely recommend powder coating the side covers, they look way better with a satin black finish. See my post at http://www.motorcycle-talk.net/forum/mt-07-fz-07-modifications/1153-sorted-abba-stand-post14782.html#post14782

    Filtering

    I was replying to another post this morning, and whilst referring to the highway code I realised that filtering was not such as gray area as I thought. In fact the highway code mentions it a few times as a perfectly legal manoeuvre for motorcyclists or cyclists (as long as no other rules are...

    Yamaha's FZ-07 and the FZ6R

    Get a FZ-07 and ride it. I came from a CBR600 and the FZ-07 is way more FUN, and that's a fact based on knowledge :D

    Annoying/Dangerous Drivers

    Just checked the GOV website for the highway code as I didn't want to be giving advice on a forum without knowing for sure. So it does seem like it might be a bit of a gray area. I/you should not be overtaking on chevrons bordered by a broken white line unless it is necessary. Maybe plod would...

    Annoying/Dangerous Drivers

    @nobull You must have had a particularly bad cop then. AFAIK riding/driving on chevrons is ok as long as they are not bordered by a solid white line, now that is illegal. A dashed line bordering the chevrons is advisory. Now I may be completely wrong but that is the way I remember being taught...
