Pacific Coast!

Funny you should say that.......LOOK!

It's a recurring pattern of behaviour that goes back to the days when there were loads of bikes I fancied. Now there isn't any......but I still get the itch. And I've had the itch 65 times!

.......when I start getting edgy, and keep looking at what's available in the dealers!

Not exactly the same group cos these are Anti-Lockdown nutters! No idea what they hope to achieve by chasing a BBC reporter through the streets! Do they think the BBC is imposing lockdowns or something?

ZERO cases in the town! Can't remember when I saw that last!

Hi!

No TT again this year then?

This cover version is better than the original!

He got the Diana treatment!

They're here now and spreading the Indian no doubt!

What can't you do then......cos it seems like people are travelling around without any problem?

I heard a similar thing on Twitter......but no way of being sure of those claims though.

Have you put @gymwitch in the frame yet Six? I'm betting they'll suspect that the gymwitch on here is another @Buckster alias?

Yeh.....but the Indian variant is on the way! And how effective are our vaccinations going to be?

"What's on your playlist when you ride?" What's the problem with just enjoying riding? Why do you need music?

Only one case left in the town......and that drops off the radar tomorrow!

Get him to join up here......we can be the Motorcycling Tourettes gang!

It's not a deliberate thing......more a case of I like to maintain a consistent pace. So for example if I'm doing 60mph on the straight and I come to a hairpin bend......I don't want to lose any momentum. So I just keep on going at 60mph. Probably a legacy of small bikes in the early years, where losing momentum meant you were screwed if you had other bikes with you. Back then it was just one big race! For someone behind it might look like I'm accelerating.....but I'm not. It's their braking that makes it look like that to them. It's the polar opposite of the 100mph up the straight and 20mph round the bend types.

It's difficult to advise correctly without seeing what you're doing. Can you get the OH following you with a cam running? I'm definitely not the best one to advise because training didn't exist 50 years ago......so I've only ever ridden on instinct. Or "Motorcycling Tourettes" as @Pedro describes it. So for me to give advice I've really got to think hard as to what it is I actually do. I was going to suggest using ass steering as well, but that's a tricky one to describe. Plus it's more effective on some bikes than others......so never having ridden an NC I can't say it would help much.

Turn the bars more and weight the footpeg on the opposite side to the direction you're going. The other thing, which is suspect is happening, is you're not looking in the direction you want to go.

You have a problem getting it up?
