I posted a link on here months ago regarding MotoGP and nobody responded.

The racing at the Isle of Man TT started today. Anyone watching???

Graeme

I've not been following the TT, but I just saw that Michael Dunlop has broken the lap record.

I won a ticket to see Closer To The Edge, the 3D film about the race, a few years ago. The riders are completely mental.

I saw the new Super Duke GT today. As with all KTMs, it's made from orange and mental, but this time it's got some practicality to it.

The only problem is that the tank cut-outs get in the way of my legs when I reach for the rear brake. Not for me, unfortunately.

New lid. I still like the Shoei, but this is definitely a different look.

He's not the Stig, he's the Stig's motorcycling cousin!

Had time yesterday to play around a little after cleaning her. Just one for now…get the few others another day.

Excuse the question, but is no one into choppers? Hardtail, Sportster tank, springer fender, K&Q seat, sissy bar. Choppers.

I can appreciate choppers and Harley's, but I prefer the functionality of more modern bikes. I commute by MC 9 months out of the year. Maybe a second project bike in the future.

The only type of choppers I like are the ones Indian Larry made. USABLE choppers. I hate raked out choppers.

MCN has a gallery of photos from Wheels and Waves. I think that there are eighty pictures, so if you want to waste some time looking at bikes…

Pinion, makers of The Iron Heart watch asked me if I could pull a string or two and get them a bike on the cheap.

I did and this is what they did with it.

The Pinion XSR700 came up on my Facebook earlier. I like it, a lot.

Graeme

But someone should tell Piers that the new Bell Bullitt in candy blue would sit much better with the bike than the sparkle finish of his current lid.

That Pinion bike is a beaut! Perfect mix of vintage look and modern bits. The seat is a work of art IMO. Maybe it is the photo, but the headlight doesn't look real. I don't think I've seen one like that before.

I quite like the Pinion, but for me the LED rear light is horrible and it needs a tail tidy straight away.

Graeme

I saw the new Sportster Roadster today.

It's a good looking machine. Harley have got around to fitting upside-down forks and dual brake discs too. The seat height is up a few inches compared to some of the other Sportsters, because the shocks at the rear are taller. Should give it more lean angle.

Being of a leggy persuasion, I don't get on with Sportsters, but fans of the model should definitely check it out.

harley dave

is it the made in india version ?

Graeme

I think that it's a US bike. The Street 500 and 750 are the ~~Indian~~ made in India models.
