Did someone mention gear driven cams on a Honda V4?

Ok, no worries. I was being sensitive and perhaps the pitch was a little off too. No offence taken and thanks for clarifying.

This reads like you are having a laugh at my expense. My cat is seriously ill and perhaps that has clouded my judgement, however I cannot see what this post has to do with either motorbike protection...

Thanks everyone, and thanks Duncan for the kind offer of the tent.

I have been distracted today by my cat needing to go the the vet as an emergency. She had an operation last week and now has a...

We moved in November and I have been nearly 6 months without a bike until today, when I bought this:

Nowhere near...

Does anyone have any experience of specialist dealers who would potentially want to buy my Ducati 1198S?

We have agreed a house purchase which means I will lose my garage (I gain a games room by...

Absolutely love that bike. When I was chopping and changing my collection, there was a mint 2k mile 851 in at the dealer who supplied my 1198S. I was seriously tempted to get the 851 over the 1198S,...

Love the gold Marchesinis! Are they magnesium on the R?

Yep, that was my old SP1. I chopped it in for the 1198S, and the dealers hadn't removed the plate when they filmed it. A little naughty, but I guess the film wouldn't have looked so slick if the...

Not me riding!

Funny you should mention it, but I chopped my SP1 in for this. Honda was more reliable (already had one electrical gremlin on the Ducati), but the Italian bike is more soulful.

How did you find...

Gave my new arrival a clean yesterday. This was pre-wash, and as you can see, it was filthy.

Complete torque monster and a fantastic sound.

Left foot down, right foot on brake.

I need to calm down a bit, I know.

Flipperitis has got me with the bikes. I spent the past year working round the corner from them which probably has contributed to my revolving garage door!

Oh, go on then!

Must have a word with the neighbours in advance about the exhaust note.

I agree it is horses for courses.

My own perspective is that if you survive riding a bigger bike post-DAS - and most do survive - then the learning curve is steeper and you are a better rider than...

The answer to this is that it depends who you ask.

I did DAS 4 years ago and have had 6 or 7 bikes since. For me, the learning came after I passed the test and rode different styles of bikes...

Richard is new, so not met him yet.

James is the owner and very into his bikes. Dave is the manager and does the day to day running of the business. Every bike I have had from them has been spot...

I was in TBS this afternoon, and Dave said this was one of the nicest Fireblades they have had.

Enjoy!

Generally speaking they are extremely pro-Triumph, to the extent it can be a little irritating.

However, the BMW came out on top. Just.

New copy of Bike magazine arrived today.

Their verdict on the 1250GS vs Tiger 1200 had me surprised, given their usual editorial stance.

Fair play.

99.99% of these adventure bikes never go anywhere near anything other than tarmac though, so worth a throwing into the equation for most who might be in the market for something similar.

Or the Multistrada V4?

They have indeed! Still got my old R1100GS and R1100S that I chopped for the SP1.

All their bikes are top notch. You will be very happy I am sure!

I have seen this bike in the flesh!

Bought my SP1 from there in Jan. Will be a great example no doubt.
