hawkati Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 y'all making me blush dammit. More to the point, there's buggerall people from here doing the event now - it's evolved into a scramble involving racers and captains of industry, along with a smattering of textile botherers on dullsvilles. Won't someone think of the pb-evo kittens? be good if a fukketonne of you lot took part next year and sort of reclaimed it for the forum... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to get exemption for a bike, as I'm selling the Katana on to someone on the forum. No profit involved, selling for a little less than what the bike and bits stand me at but it might finally see some spanners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggy411 Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 I’d love to do it, I really would. My back and left hand would let me down though, I just don’t have the physical fitness to ride for over 20 hours. Anyone who completes it has my utmost admiration. Anyone who does it 8 times has as many titles as Marquez 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can ride with breaks for around 150 miles before the pain makes it difficult to operate the clutch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think of that but then read that the 10r doesn’t like quickshifters as they can cause the gearbox to fail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Don't think i'd have done it without high bars, though) yeah I want to look at grafting a firestorm front end onto one of the frames. Either that or look at messing around with the fork internals and seeing if I can make them longer so the clip ons can be mounted on top of the yokes instead of underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDMitch Posted June 26 Author Report Share Posted June 26 Here's an amazing thing, the LDC is so close to raising £100k for the second year running! Nearly £93k as I type this! So if there is anyone on the forum reading this that hasn't chucked in, or if anyone finds a tenner in the street, it's not too late to chuck it to the LDC and help beat cancer. That wouldn't be a bad achievement would it? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernmotovlog Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 Ey up, just thought I’d share a drone shot from the meet up at Lands End… my blade was the one that was almost finished at Pitstop 4… went on the ferry unsure she would make Inverness.. but with a great lad Mike on his zzr600 we pushed on into the night, having a very close encounter with Bambi in the rain on the run alongside Loch Ness… 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers dude! Yeah from Pitstop 2 to 3 was some heavy filtering in Sheffield and some other yorkshirerer towns and she must have developed a weep, and steamed off a bit of coolant over the day when in heavy traffic… it only became apparent in the roadworks just shy of the boat… a boiling hot kettle and away we went!! Once temp was down and it got cold and started pissing down I was in business 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkati Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 Sheffield was almost a city too far, but glad you made it without blowing yer top. Good you're here too....have a browse around everywhere, pop the kettle on and help yourself to chocolate bourbons. Some prefer hobnobs but that's fighting talk😈 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they are a proper thing 👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
