@Hairy you need a Grom...

With the right tuning bits, those little scoots haul ass!!!

Ok cool. Generally what happens is that you will end up riding what your mates ride (That's how I ended up with the 640) They all bought adventure bikes (Mostly KTM640's , DR650's and XR650's. It was cool because we all traveled at the same pace and rode the same type of bikes.

That pink swim cap comment was priceless

Do you have any mates that ride?

^^This As with MTB's there is no single do it all tool....

I hear you

There are some that gave a place in my small world, just not the screaming eagle, tassle equipped, chromed out rolling HD Store accessory catalogues with a rider that looks like they were beaten with the HD riding apparell catalogue... Flat tracker sounds nice though.....

It's a lot easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permision...

Or if they are upright.....

I had to use the family friendly version unfortunately

IMO the only bike that you should be buying that has a Harley link to it is an XB9 or an XB12 (Just don't tell a Buell owner that he has a Harley...)

^^ What he said Besides the fact that the 883 could be considered a girls bike.... it has been referred to as a "Half a Harley" based on it capacity. Probably a bit like riding a scooter. Loads of fun until your mates find out.....

Just finished S02 of Jessica Jones. I am all superheroed out now.... My wife said So what's next? My response was anything as long as it doesn't have anybody in it with superpowers. We started watching House of Cards. So far so good.

I have been watching it on and off. Definitely not a family show... Some of the humor isn't even suitable for some adults My wife walked in and asked what the heck I was watching! I need to be in the mood for it

True story.

Josh Hill won Red Bull Straight Rhythm in 2016 on an electric MX bike (Alta if I recall) At Pike's Peak they had to fit beepers to the electric bikes. Spectators couldn't hear them coming and were nearly taken out crossing the track and they arrived a speed! IOMTT also has an electric class if I recall? I would be wary of riding an electric bike in traffic TBH. People can't see you on a big single with a loud Akra on and lit up like a Christmas tree. Imagine how many lights you'd need on an electric bike?!?!?

Bikers are a lot more pleasant to be around than vegans.....

Pipe noise exits out back and sound is directional so VERY good for buzzing them as you go past to remind them to open their f'n eyes. I have an Akra on my 640 without the DB killer and pedestrians still don't see/hear me when lane splitting.... I would do both pipe and lights. I also have an orange light cover which is quite *** at night.

We watched the movie " The Doors" at The Wheel. We were stoned at the time... back in the days when you could still smoke in a cinema. There was also that Moroccan market thing on the one side and the restaurant that you accessed over that suspended bridge if I recall. A few years later a guy that I worked with almost had his kid kidnapped from there! Two guys just picked the lighty up and carried him outside towards a waiting taxi. Luckily they weren't successful.

So true. I had a succession of dirt bikes from when I got married up until my first son was born. Sold my KTM 250 EXC to cover medical expenses as well as set up the room etc for my boy. It took another 16 odd years before I was able to get another bike and that was all thanks to a Discovery incentive payout as well as me having to sell my DH bike to raise the funds. I bought a bit of a beater that needed some TLC but you can never put a price to the smile on my dial! No funds for any weekend trips with the boys but we manage to squeeze in a day trip or two during the year and I use it to commute to work every now and again. There are more important things at the moment like varsity fees...

Couldn't agree more. The person at the gym (who incidentally worked for Health and Racket (yes I spelled it wrong on purpose...) the precious week and then worked for Players the following week) basically told me that H&R were closed and this was a new gym now so if you want to train here you need to join... Many expletives were exchanged and I walked out. A few months later I was back however but this time I signed a month to month contract. I won't ever get snared into paying for anything like that upfront again.... it left a very bad taste in my mouth. At that time, R1200 was a lot of money to just give away!

Same thing happened to me. Paid the annual membership fee up front and they closed doors a month later. Were taken over by Player's Gym (Basically just changed the signage overnight). Arrived for my workout and was told my membership was not valid. They then requested another membership fee... I see a lot of businesses that are closing down. Sign of the times I guess. More people are k@king off than we realise....

I am having a problem with my S7 and my Garmin HR monitor... I was able to pair my Garmin HR monitor strap with the Samsung Health App a few months ago and it has been working just fine up until this week.... Ran last week with the phone using the SHealth app to record the activity and all worked fine. The app synced with Disco and the points for the HR data pulled through without any hassles. This week however, the SHealth App doesn't pick up the HR monitor. I de-registered it and tried again to sync them with no luck. Changed the battery and still nothing. Double checked that it was working with my Edge and it picks up HR straight away so no issued with the actual HR monitor. Just can't get the phone to recognise it? Has anybody else had t a similar problem?

Does it dry clear? Looking at treating the kitchen counter tops so I don't want to see it when it dries.
