Yeh, I know I know. Bloody tyres there goes another 300 or so dollareo's. Too scared to ask the wife ( ) Anyway, it's only badly worn where I trail the front brake going in If I stop doing that it'll last for years.... maybe not EIGHT years though, eh Bren?

You didn't because you know the brand spanking new Biff Bird would have kicked your arse!

You're bloody kidding me! For real? Writing you a PM now.

[Biff]

Yeah I'll drag the mighty XJ out to give your arse a kicking

Dude - your XJ couldn't kick its way out of a paper bag, let alone face the mighty Biff Bird.

50HP when they were new and I think it's got at least 40 of them left and that's all I'd need

Actually just to make it fair on you I should really ride the Bucket

oh u'd have to be a silly bugga to try and go fast round a corner on an 7-8 year old front tyre.



I was thinking about it the other day, i think it was a combination of the tyre and the hard front springs, i think it bumped just before it slipped out... I'm pretty sure they are as soft as they are gana go! fresh smooth tarmac for me please, can u arrange that next time. cheers

Erm- thats about as smooth as we get. I think that's why I always ride better on that hill- the roads nice and smooth (mostly) so it's not throwing my poor worn out suspension into spastic fits.
You sure it's not just because you got a fright when the awesome power of the FZR blasted past your idy bidy Fireblade??

EDIT: actually, I reckon the FZR probably spat a bit of oil on the road in a jealous attempt to take out your Blade- after all, the FZR was once top of the big bore sports bike heap, then the Blade came along and made it obselete over night. She's bound to have issues...

[Bren_chch]

hahaha nice one!
