Paging Kawasaki ZX10R Owners.

I still prefer that to the gigantic twin cans they've had to put on the
new gixxer to meet Euro III emissions. Neither are perfect though..
fucking Europe.

 

Dunno. If they don't, they should do.

 

Yes. This year they only do it in all-black or black with a green
tank and fairings.

Notice the general black theme though.

 

I don't see anything wrong in that.

 

I noticed that following both Champ and Andy. It's quite disconcerting
thinking "hmm, they've just got round that corner without braking, I'm
sure I can too..." followed by having to grab a handful of front before
tipping in.

I just thought they rarely used their brakes but ICBW.

 

My guess is that he just didn't brake much. In the right gear engine
braking is quite good on the 10r.

 

The way I was playing catch-up, the back end of the SV must have looked
like mobile disco.

 

On Friday, from Calias to Dieppe it was definitely "not very often".

There were times when I had to brake quite hard[1] for bends where your
brake light hadn't come on at all. It could just be the slight
difference in our riding styles though )

[1] Well, I thought I had to, anyway.

 

Oh yes, it works, but seriously, and FWIW, I reckon frag's comment on
checking the adjustment as to how hard you brake before it comes on
might be worth 30 seconds of your time.

Yes, that's it exactly!

Yes, that's it exactly!

<small voice>
Can I be just a *bit* "not shit"?
</sv>

 

No.

Go and scrub your tyres in.

 

Yeah, I noticed.

Tonight's journey home will be the first time the Sprint ST has got wet!

 

I was meant to be testing a Benelli Tre-K today - which I won't be now
thanks to the rain :-(

Move to a more pikey area.

 

<thinks> If the 'x'-pot piston, pads and discs have been improved (on
the 10R) so that they provide greater braking with the same hydraulic
pressure, then you'll get more braking effect for the same pressure the
switch needs to activate, so for "mild" braking the switch might
activate less.

 

On a similar note: that was you wot waved and instantly vanished on
Sunday, weren't it?

I think it was - mostly on the way into towns. The rest of the time I
was more interested in not Doing an Eton.

 

The switch doesn't normally operate on pressure, just distance moved. It's
either on or off, not "hard" or "soft".

Aha. I must say, the manner in which you fucked off was most
impressive.

Champion is a good name for someone that holds the Lands End to John O
Groats record i suppose.

He doesn't hold the Lands End to John O'Groats record.
