Cans.

First let me start with an apology to Loz. Loz ole mate you are not the
**** I have been quietly calling you for all these weeks while you have
been steadfast in your defence of Avon Azaros to this seasons crop of
eager enquirers. Turns out they actually aren't a bad tyre if you don't
run them 20lbs under pressure. Incredible grip at the front there is
today.


Any road. I miss the low down torque that you get with anything other
than a modern screaming in-line 4 and am thinking of either buying more
cubes which I really cannot afford or taking the Scorpion off and
replacing it with something designed specifically to move the power band
down the rev range.


Other than a genuine Suzuki can is there anything on the market which is
aimed towards how the bike was intended to be tuned rather than spoiling
it with loads of torqueless revs?

 

Heh... Doh.

Buying more cc would be the best solution if you want more power.

My race can seemed to poduce more mid range on the Bandit than the
standard can did. Get yourself an old air / oil cooled gixer 750 lump
for a few hundred if you want more speed. or the cheaper option of
bores / pistons off one if you want a little more power everywhere.

More speed is not what I want. I all ready have more speed than I have
road space to use it on.

 

That'll be what the Fazer currently has...

They seem pretty good to me anyway, and they're not even wearing away that
quick, which given how I tend to ride, I'd have expected otherwise.

I started laughing, then remembered I have been guilty of this in the
past. Forgiven.

You are joking right, they are made of Jelly tots in the middle, mine
looks like a thrupenny bit it does. Straight across it is at the top
and the bottom, like some **** has taken a slice off all round the
wheel.

Maybe that is what has happened and it isn't me being a wuss, some
scrote has nicked it. Right, that is the last time I go shopping in
Tilbury, the thieving cunts will have the fucking rubber off yer wheels
they will.

 

Lozzo wrote

Easy done innit. I knew they were down a pound or two but as I don't
carry the weight I don't particularly mind having them a bit on the low
side but that was silly.

 

Smaller front / bigger rear sprocket then?

 

Muck wrote

I hadn't thought of that.

A road to pursue, ta.

 

They've done 5k in total since they were put on, and have hardly any wear.
Admittedly, only about 1k of that is my handiwork, but that 1k has been one
consisting mainly of the tits being thrapped off the bike.

Learn to corner then.

HTH

*boggle*

What on earth were you shopping for, there... narcotics?

In fairness to me they are a bit better than they were, I did inherit
the tyres with the bike and it was ridden by a burd before I got it.

Actually I went to Canvey but having spent time and effort over the
years firmly establishing in your minds that Tilbury is not a very nice
place I lied for the sake of the metaphor. See it wouldn't have worked
half as well if I had said Canvey would it? Canvey is Essex Girl
Central, where blow jobs are a normal part of the formal introduction
process. What place has a blow job in a tale of motorcycling daring do?

It does, it does but I can't afford it.

 

guzzi 850?

It is Champ who is the one without a sense of taste, if you please.

 

Like I need any of that - I remind Sir I have to visit Tilbury every so
often, what with the maternal side of the equation that is 'me', having come
from there.

I dunno so much... it's a place full of dodgy scrotes into salvage motors
from what I've seen of it - and the prices they tend to ask, 'thieving
cunts' *more* than covers it.

More to the point, Tilbury has no place in any tale of derring do... unless
it's to do with the struggle that ultimately culminates with the hero /
heroine finally leaving the shithole for good.

oi! I had that for a couple of weeks before you and teh tyres were fine
at that point. I've also had/got the Avons on the big bindit, and
they're far better a tyre than I am a rider.

so, goes back to, learn to corner you old fart.

Itywf that is two points as it goes, one either side of the centre line.

I have been practising today, a revelation putting air in the tyres it
was and temptation beyond resisting.

I can just see Champ in a tasselled jacket, shades and pisspot.
