XTreme Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Not too bad here...... I'll have to get out and run the bike on Sunday.......cos I'm going to be sidelined for a couple of weeks after the Hernia repair. And tomorrow I've got the Albox trip in order to stock up for the next couple of months. What's happening with you? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Today is a holiday in Portugal, our sort of brexit in regards to influence from Spain. Plan was to meet up with @JustaPor for a burguer up in the hills, but it’s raining and that dampens spirits. I will do it tomorrow though, as sun is arriving after a week of heavy rain and I need to get out of the house. It’ll be a slow weekend. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busabeast Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I'd have thought the front brakes shouldn't be too bad so long as they aren't in contact with the discs but after that kind of time I'd expect the rears to have welded themselves to the discs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Only used on one trackday when I shit out of riding with the fast boys" I was up there at the fast end of the intermediate group when I was last out on it at Snetterton, only outbraked myself once at the end of the Bentley straight after id taken out the baffle and was doing nearly 150mph when before it was only doing 115 due to it being strangled by the baffle. So when are you doing a trackday pete? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
