Well, picked up my Bandit at 5 today, was meant to just bring it straight home, but found myself ton the other side of the island 30 mins later, and back again after that lol

love it!!


was going into Peel from tynwald, a massive long unlimited staright with no traffic so thought, may as well give it some beans, was going literally as fast as a dared go, was expecting to hear a sonic boom any minute, a quick glance down confirmed i was doing a grand total of......




60mph lol

still ace fun though!

btw, i didnt get that red one in the end, the guy had no documents to prove it was his and he had it hidden at the back of a chinese in doug, found another in much nicer nick locally in black for £650, will post some pics up soon!

you've such a good production that I can't understand how you're looking at anything else.
regarding me that's my second triumph and I swear by it. Buy them there great bikes !

Nice, very nice!

Its like we've travelled back to the 70's with those funny number plates though


Fab- My friend has a Triumph, he says much the same as you, beautiful creations too.
Its good to see that they've resurrected themselves

nice bike, ive recently joined the biker group, got a cg125 , w reg got it for £150, virtually looks new.

cool, is that a cagiva?

cheers nic, the island is a bit of a time warp, some class number plates over here, as they all used to have 'MAN' in there somewhere, so there are cars with 'BAT MAN' and 'FAST MAN' and my favorite (im sure youll agree) 'ASS MAN'

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

hahahahahaha ASS MAN

Here is my bike (hopefully soon for exchange with an old beemer ..)

Heres mine,

Bit of a work in progress at the moment!

Ben, any updated on that badboy?

Right, as its easter, its time to get the bikes ready for summer abuse

Ordered a new chain and sprocket set for the bandit, dropping down a cog at the front from 14T to a 13T to make her a bit more entertaining.
Also ordered a scottoiler as everyone seems to be jizzing themselves over them and I do get lube paranoia


Re the dirt bike, yesterday i fitted an alloy throttle tube with o-ring seal and internal roller bearings as im sick of cleaning and replacing the crappy plastic tubes for them to just fill up with dirt again as soon as i drop it

fitted new chain and sprockets on her too as they were beginning to look a bit hooky

On the dirt bike, what tyre pressures should i run? I usually whack about 15psi in, but saw a lad putting 30psi in his wheels at the garage the other day?

He had a van full of bikes and looked to know what he was doing but isnt that rather alot amount for knobblies?

Scotoillers are a great idea, but you really need to keep an eye on the flow rate. The flow seemed to change on mine all the time... I think it was the temperature.

On my latest bike, I didn't bother with one. I'd rather keep an eye on every so often...

'97, owned from new. Maxed many times on the autobahns, completed dozens of track days (including the 'Ring) and loved to bits .
Shame I don't really use it as much as I'd like to these days :(

tasty, got any pics of that steering damper

id like one for mine, at about 100 i get a bit of a speed wobble and havent a clue how to get rid of it, the wheel/chain alignment is good (use one of those lasers to get it spot on), the wheels are perfectly balanced and true? spoke to a few people and they say that sometimes this just happens due to harmonics and to just man up till 110 when it dissapears lol

but im finding it hard to track a damper down that fits without serious modification? yours seems to go infront of the top tree which is a place i havent considered yet

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Maybe steering column axis vs rear axle axis is not square ?
=> blame the frame

Maybe your rear axle ball bearings are shot ?

Maybe your bars are a little off center ?

Maybe your bars weight are not the same weight ?

I had concern with the road holding on mine and found out afterwards the tire pressure was shamefuly low ...

Anyway, it's sold now and I got myself a dad's bike : Beemer from 81' !

Hi guys, Ive got a 1990 FZR100R Exup which I've had for 6 years now. Always wanted one since I was 16 when these first came out. I had an MBX50 at the time and used to drool at these in the bike shop window!

I've taken it to the TT, Nurburgring, Monaco, Barcelona, done trackdays at Brands, Goodwood, Castle Combe, Malory Park and Cadwell too.

Had a few others before this... RD400's, CBR600's, Blade and a few more.

Also have 4 350LC's :)
