Can have an adverse affect on handling. Found that out quite a few years ago when I was young and stupid

Now I'm older and stupid I'am still learning about m/c dynanics

Too right - don't get your bike tired,they wear out too quickly - early to bed and early to knock off work,your bike needs time to itself,have some respect eh?

yep,there just like us,they need to rest.I reckon you can feel them getting week on a hot day of riding or just a day of going balls out.generally on the way back from ya journey and after not riding her for a week or so they perform like it was new.1 of the reasons i like to ride in moderation.the long journeys to track days dont help either,i like to take mine on a trailer and just in case i stack it

I thought you took them on trailers so they didnt get (over) tired. Bit like race horses is'nt it? You dont take them in a trailer coz they might crash do you?

**cycosis** · 11th October 2004, 20:44

Yeah but of you do crash bad atleast you know you can get you and the bike home.Nothing worst than ya bike crapin out at a track day and it was suppose to take you home,Home being a 2 hour ride.Its happened to me and it turned into a very long day.

I actually disagree. I had a real prob getting my little road bike going tonight. Having not ridden it for a whole 5 days!!! cos I took my race bike away in the weekend......................... Pig of a thing took LOTS to get going. Not the first time this has been a prob.

The more the merrier I say!!!!

Gee, can't understand why one of your well respected and cared for machines would ever let you down.

Yip. Still got 2/3 rds of a double garage space to go. Oh and a 1/3 of a garden shed.

PS-try draining the carb/carbs and refilling with fresh fuel.With the shitty fuel we get now days I find it assits starting after a bikes been standing for a while.

Standing a while??? 5 days??
My fuel never has time to go old! LOL
Just like me it loves to go for a blat even if it is just the 30km commute to work. Obviously though it does not like to be idle........
