Still dreaming to own one of these. One of the oddities of these bikes , is them leaning to the right? when the motor picks up revs.

Yup - I had an LM3 - took a while to get used to.  That, and the linked brakes - was really odd feeling the front dip when you pressed the rear brake!

Any of you riff raff watched or followed the FortNine reviews and productions....really enjoy how they review and feature products.

Yes I got that. Just reminded me of the movie.

 

And to your question, no, but they look interesting. The range of products they sell too is huge. I wish we had such choice.

I previously posted about a mate of mine who collects bikes, and has some lovely ex-GP bikes. Can't find the original post, but I did promise some pics of them.

 

 

Got to see him on the weekend, and he has some absolutely incredible stuff in his collection. Quite a few Bimota's, MV's, Rickman, and some very rare local bikes.

This is a stunning collection!

I ha

ve a Pirelli Angel ST on the front at the moment and it gives zero feel or feedback. Honestly I did just over 120km on track and I have no idea if I was near the limit of its grip or not. Thats not what I want in a tyre.

The rear Michelin, yes I got the bike with these mismatched tyres, gave plenty of feel and you could see it in the use of the tyre and confidence I had getting on the power. Turning in was a horrible experience, no confidence, ran wide many times because I just didn't know if the front would hold.

That being said everybody seems to rave about them, so maybe its just me........

I am still getting used to the tyres. I also err on the side of caution, but I do like to push it a bit too. No tracks in my area, but I have the Outeniqua and Robinsons Pass to play on. Just have to get the timing right regarding traffic. I think the Angel ST will do me fine for my current requirements but having read your opinion I will be be cautious! I was very used to my Bridgestones, will likely return to those.

 

Robinson Pass is bumpy..........helps keep the speed down! Outeniqua Pass has some gorgeous corners, but a couple are always damp to wet......keeps one a little more careful. I stopped to help a youngster two days ago who was perhaps a little too over enthusiastic and binned his small Kawa Ninja, one of them little twins. Dropped on the damp road. He okay.......shaken, but bike a mess.

Received a quote to wrap BMW K1200S in pearl white for R6500. Adding stickers or other details off course extra.

 

Does this sound like a fair price?

Sounds a little pricy, what exactly do they wrap for that price?

The bike looks stunning, do you just want a colour change? Is the wrap easy to remove at a later date if one wants to?

 

I thought to do fairings of my FZR, but in standard colours. That would be more exspensive due to the patterns.

 

Price sounds fair to me as a full spray job can run to a lot more than that, especially if one can remove and change the wrap every few years (if you like to change colours!)

 

Be fussy with them though. I saw a Bee Emm 1000R that had been wrapped. It was on the floor of a well known dealer in Gauteng. Bike looked stunning, but on closer inspection I noticed some small bubbles in the wrap. I would not be happy with ghat if paying a lot of hard earned Randellas!

Just for comparison, I received a quote of R1500 to do just the tank of my GSA.

Don't know if that helps..

Does Bogus not do tanks?

Man, that's a good point. Is he in CT? If so, I'll ask him.
