That looks like glorious fun. I particularly enjoyed the fence tap on corner exit

Welcome! And congratulations on getting the Versys! Hope you have a lot of fun with it : )

Hi Garry, welcome

Wow someone needs to learn how to clean their motorcycle...


(me)

Ok good stuff here, thank you very much for all the advice.

I had come across the Yamaha school, but I’ll give it another look.

Cheers all!

Once I’ve recovered from the financial hit caused by getting the KTM back on the road, I’d like to start working on my off road skills. Phoenix Motorcycle Training has some green lane courses for 270£ a day, includes bike hire and all gear. This seems like pretty good value to me, but what do you th...

A big thank you to everyone for your input! Bike was bought privately, from a guy who worked at a Honda dealership. Which sounds dodgier reading it here than it did to me at the time.

The Pirelli on the front still has some tread left, don’t know exactly what kind it is but it’s a sport tyre from 2017. Do you think it’s...

This board might need to be renamed Billinom8s fan club. Another very positive review for Simon's "1 and Done" suspension set up service. The bike is working so much better now, it would have taken me years to figure it out on my own, but he got it set up perfectly in one hit...no tweaks r...

Me: Simon, how do I tell if my tires are too worn? Simon: There are these wear indicator thingys in the treads. Me: I don't see any wear indicators, or any tread for that matter. Simon: ... Gonna have to dip out of this one, as my rear tire is pretty much worn down to the metal. Phil is going to sor...

this does look fun...and cheap fun at the moment
