    Fitted the stomp grips that I removed from my old ZX6R, but it may help reduce the back, leg & wrist ache that I complained about in another thread.

    Me too. I had a couple of hours spare and having already cleaned it. So I thought I would spank it's @rse, although the bike had other ideas and thought it would try spanking mine after carryng too much speed into a left hander at national speed limit+, I'm hard on both brakes at this point thinking "I'm gonna have to lean hard for the bend any second", the back wheel starts squirming all ove the place at this point. At the last second just before I'm about to risk crossing the centre white lines lI decided now's the time to lean, fortunately I had scrubbed enough speed off in time and got off the rear brake before the bike got to out of shape.

    A couple of minutes later it's time for a rest, tell myself to slow down and get a shot of the bike while it's still in 1 piece :eek:

    Re the video, if you sign up to vimeo.com you can upload and password protect the file, so unless you have that you cannot see it - not fool proof but if people you know / trust want to see the film you can let them

    Did you edit the video / add music, chop the dull parts etc.? Generally folk get bored after 5 - 7 mins of watching a bike film / video

    took it out for a run up the local coast to scub the tyres in.
    need to set the sag as it feels slightly soft.oh and also near
    flipped it big style, coming over a crest and it done a little
    wheelie.no problem I thought then the road dropped faster
    and I was met by the view of my tank pad, rolled off to get
    into come down and it free wheeled for a good bit.bet the
    other car divers must have thought here comes a right ejit lol.
    very few other bikes apart from loads of bmw's (holding the road up)
    and one clean looking 04 blade.fingers crossed for more good days
    like that :D

    still not sure the RCS 19 is for me the lever is to close and defeats the purpose of having a remote adjuster as i have it set to full out to start with , the brakes are awesome but i need a different lever to get it further out for my liking

    Last Night I set the Alarm for 08:00 with a breakfast run to the Ace Cafe in mind.

    Woke up to see it absolutely throwing it down :(
    Back under the duvet then!....woke up at 11:00 to see Blue skies and the odd cloud, had a bit of breakfast and a shower then headed out on the FireBlade.

    I Did a nice local run, about 90miles all in all...managed to avoid any showers.

    Only took handfull of pics though :(

    Yesterday, on the return home from a ride with my nephew as pillion, the speedo started reading 15,24,31,35,8,27 9, etc, thought it was trying to give me this weeks lotto no's. So today checked the plug connector and removed and cleaned the VS sensor, replaced it and went for a check round the block and its still giving random lotto no's so i've now removed the speed sensor and ordered an new one.
