These bikes are expensive to keep

Having only had the bike two weeks it is costing me a fortune.

does it need anything, No but ebay and boredom is a dangerous thing.

Brand New TT legends Body Kit, didnt need it but now in my loft
Leathers, New bike new leathers
new bike new boots
new bike new helmet
Brakes were excellent, still bought braided lines, and P clips
Had a small double bubble, bought a zero Gravity screen
radiator guard to be honest from what i read was a must
paddock stand, had one but wanted another

Now looking for a quick shift that i also dont really need.

i seem to have an addiction.

oh u do need a quickshifter

 

It only gets worse I’m sorry to say

 

One of the joys of motorcycle ownership!!

Buying shit loads of stuff you don't really need

 

You had to mention the Q word, off over to google now for a bit.

 

and it gets worse with multiple bikes and multiple jackets and helmets.

 

i spent about 2 grand after i bought mine lol

laguna seca leathers, shoei x-spirit iii helmet

i didnt need boots though had some white supertech R boots, but also have some smx tech 6 and tech 10

i have room for more boots

 

Bloody hell. 'Blink' Marcos has entered the room!

 

i dont mind saying i have hundreds of pairs of trainers, boots etc

 

I know the feeling. Thought I had most stuff.... ooooh no.

Complete new set of fairings, sat nav, ventura full kit, new lid, schuberth comms collar, new gloves, I think the only thing I haven't bought is new leathers. That will be for summer though, textiles for warmth at the moment

Oh yeah, new abba stand, full toolbox (damn they are expensive) new racking for the garage, a new screen.. ermmmm, probably plenty of other stuff I have forgotten about!

 

i do need a paddock stand

i cant decide what to do about sat nav, whether to just attach my phone so i can see it or if i want something i can hear too

 

If you are thinking about phone - I can fully recommend one of these - https://www.quadlockcase.co.uk/collections/shop-moto

They held mine secure and easy to read on a 5 hour ride from Lincoln to Edinburgh, well into triple digits (Obviously on private roads, the A1 counts as private, right?)

And if going Sat-Nav route - Get a Telferizer from http://www.telferizer.com/ - They go into your steering stem and are very very secure.

 

thanks for the recommendation. I dont think i want to buy a separate sat nav, the one on the phone should be fine.

i might want headphones in my helmet, not in my ears though

 

For sat nav, I just use google maps and put a set of earphones in and just listen to the directions. I use an old Samsung galaxy s5 solely for this purpose, that way my actual phone battery doesn't get wasted.

 

So what goes wrong are they in Japanese or summat

 

i hate having one phone, im not carrying two lol

Horrible attention seeking demons

 

Well I don't need it when I'm out with you do I??!!

 

Lol....so Mark was right then when he told me you'd got the Nolan Sisters on repeat

 

where do you mount it? just had a quick look at mine and cant see where it would clamp on

 

Mine is clamped on the left after the switchgear. Will get a photo in the morning, but they also do a RAM mount which you coukd mount in a Telferizer.
