    hey mate, bikes are in the shop waiting for pickup by new owners.

    go check them out.

    Yeah popped in. Great looking machines. Surprised how nice that grey/green coloured looked on the EBR 1190 in the flesh, compared to pictures I'd seen. That TNT 1130 has some crazy Mad Max styling. Again I have to say they look even better than pictures do them justice.

    Popped in to visit Pradeep today. Shop locks very clean, carpet on the floors and everything. He's got about 4 Benelli's (the bigger of which look quite nice) and two EBR RX's which do look very nice. There's no gear or accessories, and I forgot to ask if he was getting any in. He showed us his workshop which looked clean and well laid out and had about half a dozen Buell's being serviced and a new EBR RX being prepped for a customer. He said he is having a road test day on September 20 / election day for those that are interested.

    Hi Pete.

    TSS also gets my thumbs up for parts, gear and the bike brands they carry. got my Suzuki from them, great bunch of guys.

    Harley Speed and Custom also passes my great mechanics and service review

    That's awesome Christian. Better behave yourself and not behave like a total twat at those places then eh. And *passes my great mechanics and service review*

    What would you know about *mechanics*...seeing as you're recommending one that's actually nothing other than a bike *groomer*?

    Why does he persist with that stupid fucken front brake?

    He's seen the light with final drive. Chain! He's seen the light with the exhaust pipe. The motor can go lower and be tuned properly! Why can't he see that the brake is just dumb? If it were better, they wouldn't have had to replace vent holes with slots...and they'd run it that way in GP!

    Is the oil still in the swingarm? It's dumb too, but I couldn't see info on it in the fact sheets.

    The guy seems to know about as much humility as the Ducati GP bike engineers.

    Tough call. I trust a drum brake to stay round. If I give it enough time to cool down, I expect it to work when applied.

    I can't make either of those claims with my experience of Buell inside out front brake rotor. Albeit previous generation, on the XB9R XB12R series.

    I reckon it's like his signature thing. Interesting he has dumped the under engine muffler he raved about ......

    Slowly he is making a 'normal' motorcycle .........

    Eventually he will make a good motorcycle. Possibly great. The Duke is gonna take a lot of beating.
