Re: Jailed for 150mph

The speed was high, and silly, I think the point is the penalty was excessive in relation to other crimes.

Re: Hello. Just bought a 5PW

Couple of days in tho, and it all went away and I started to really enjoy it. On it again this week and loving it. Haven't had chance to fit the exup cables yet and I do feel th...

Re: Hello. Just bought a 5PW

It's a great bike mate. Really fun to ride. Wind is bad at high speed and after a while, I missed the speed of a 1000cc, other than that, it's awesome.

MARK YPVS = Legend!

Just wanted to publicly thank Mark for an act of generosity. I posted in the Newby section saying I'd just joined and I had a 5PW but needed an exup cable. Mark offered one he had new buy didn't need for free, he even covered postage! I asked if I could pay for it but he said no and if I wanted to, ...

Re: Peg extenders

Fit these the 'wrong' way round. Will lower your pegs rather than raise them. Works well http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/191775440231" onclick="window.…login to view the rest of this post

I'm finding it really cramped on the new bike. Maybe it's because I'm used to the upright position of my street triple but I'm a big lad and feel pret…login to view the rest of this post

Re: Hello. Just bought a 5PW

Cheers fellas.

It's done 30k miles, my mate used it for work everyday for 3 years.
It was his pride and joy tho and was always clean. Spent some good money on it too!

Mark, I'll definitely do that!

Hello. Just bought a 5PW

Hello.
My mate has bought a Zx10r so had his R1 for sale.

I've got a Street triple R and miss my sports bikes so decided to buy it off him.

Needs an exup cable tho..
