just logged in again as helping a fellow FZ1 rider to find my thread on the R1 forks conversion. Hi to all first and newer members.
I posted my FZ1 up for sale as it is time to move on to a new road-streetbike. Keeping my eye out for the new MT09 SP 2021. Initially was looking for the MT10, but...
He will surely be missed. Since Corona emerged, Ray and I (and I reckon as he was doing with many others) chatting via messenger and sharing both fun and conspiracy theories over daily news. Little was to know that he would leave us in such a short notice and without any indications. I was...

It was like I was enjoying life too much as in August I was informed my job after 22.5 years at British...
I'm back from a splendid Italian roadtrip. I indeed had a blast, even on my little Black Tiger.
First day we went from BAri to Picerno, where the roads were not that great. Even one section where we literally jumped off the street to land a few meters further, both wheels in the air. My left...
