wouldn't the bigger brakes/grippier tires be more helpful then nah i said i might go for 600 coz i'm only occasional gona ride it for short distances, and cbf selling/buying

You'd think so but most bikes don't have ABS or traction control and most bike tyres are closer to slicks than wet tyres, therefore the wider the tyre the worse it actually makes you in the wet should you start to plane.

Just do the 250 mayne it's really not as bad as it sounds. I agree with dezz we won't lose sleep over it but sure wouldn't be nice to hear about you having a stack or anything. Gotta slow down these motorcycle statistics cause they are pretty scary ATM.

Why not go a GS550F or something? Bit better than a 250 and still LAMs approved..

[UNR33L]

you be nice!

Leigh what kinda bike you got?

I got a suzuki gsx650f its like a gsxr but bit more upright seat positioning not a "super sport" just a "sport" bike.

Got fender eliminator now as well. (this one is non lams)

edit - found a pic with eliminator on:

only cost me 7k (2008 model) and its decent enough for how often i ride, they have about 10 less KW than a GSXR 600, but weighs a little more. I saved like 5KG taking off the ridiculous exhaust though. and just if you dont believe me here it is:

feels like you riding with a big dildo strapped to the side of the bike

[R-SPEC]

Oh very nice Leigh! Lol that stock muffler looks massive! But yeah I like the "super sport" look better. Also dont wana spend 7k on a first bike does look mint though!

Borci - as above, might aswell go for a naked ducati monster which is also LAMS spec

Birds - interesting

man how long you going for?!

go Germany in late September and ill meet up with you for Oktoberfest!

I went 2 years ago and I'm dieing to go back

the UK not so much.. =/

Agreed, was at Oktoberfest last September. One of the greatest experiences of my life. Had a German chick put her hands down my lederhosen in a random attempt to grab a handful of cock and balls, drank 9 liters of beer a day and ate a shitload of chicken. Win.

[Astro Bear]

Pending Visa application (should be approved), will be there for hopefully 2 years as working holidays assuming I haven't ran out of money before then.

Was advised to head over Germany for oktoberfest... So yeah...

If I had my chance again I wouldn't have bothered with the working visa. Getting a job in the uk is almost impossible to start with, and when you do, you'll be lucky to be making $10 AUD an hour. Just giving you my own personal experience The economy in the UK is f**kED.

How wide is the rear tyre on them Leigh?

[paulr33]

-.-

[HEKT1K]

Thumbs up if Astro is a fag

[JEPPE]

most bike tyres are closer to slicks than wet tyres, therefore the wider the tyre the worse it actually makes you in the wet should you start to plane.

Actually... that's not completely true.

If you're planing then the width of your tyre won't make a difference.

Before you plane the contact patch difference is insignificant between something like a 160 to a 190 tyre. The main factors you should be thinking about is suspension, quality of tyre, pressures and of course the riding.

How wide is the rear tyre on them Leigh?

160

[dezz]

Anyone got any feedback on Rider Bros at Calder Park?

Yeah, I know the economy over there is f**ked, not looking to get rich over there, just want to explore the world while I've the chance...

So when most 250cc bikes come with a 130 at their widest? Significant difference between that and a 190...
