Welcome snaggle, nice to see another who stops every 30 minutes for a bit of lung therapy. I'm still waiting for the *** hole to be inserted in to the chin guard on helmets. No one's taken me up my idea though.

Great idea and I'm sure it'll catch on.
 
I'm loving the off roading - does your bike have the Mission Impossible 2 mods, that switch the tyres over automatically ?
 
Well if i can recomend anthing dont take yer Tuono off road heheh . Tyres are Pilot Road 2's and did not like the grass at all and done about 1.5 miles to get to the trig point in the photo .

I have the ohlins rear and ktec fronts so made for a scary and bone shaking ride .
As for my location im afraid im abit of a traitor and stay down south (bedfordshire) But was born and bred in Killie .

Bike atm has some reasonable mods but looking forward to moving and getting a garage so i can do alot more work on her .
Atm i have

Titanium Akros (no baffles)
PCIII (mapped to Akros with no baffles)
Pazzo shortys
Ohlins rear
Ktec front internals
Factory carbon hugger and side panels
Full R&G Frame bobbins (and handlebar ones)
Rhino wheel sliders
R&G Tail tidy
Renthal sprokets . 1 down 2 up


Planned mods are full frame up strip and clean and mild polish
Re powdercoat wheels (small chip where tyre fitter caught it and mark where a tyre weight was)
Carbon bits (mudguard / other bits from factory)
Clutch cylinder upgrade
Hid or decent bulb upgrade
Possible respray (will buy new tank and plastics )
Small cosmetic changes

Welcome to the fray. As it's -36C out this morning (with the wind whipping the temp to a wind chill I won't even talk about) and I have to go to work today and tomorrow, I'll just say that I appreciate your pics as they allow me to daydream of summer days gone by...

Yes, meloncholia is setting in.

Snaggle what like it she with the PCIII does it make a big improvement would you recommend it??
 
Yeah Scot its great . As long as you get it mapped for yer bike and not a downloaded map .

I have 3 maps . Standard zorst / akros/ akros no baffles . All done on a rr . Its alot smoother on/off throttle Power is 140 at wheel and alot smoother but still decent step/punch over 6k

If you like to wheelie its alot more controlable as well . Only anoying thing is waiting for the pc3 to kick on first start up . When the bike starts it runs on its own map2 then when warm switch's to the pc3 . Trouble is if you just start from cold and ride off it runs like a dog for 2 mins before it switches maps .

And Seam im gud m8 . Tbh after reading yer post yer half the reason i joined as u crack me up

Snaggle
 
whit,,,,,crack ye up, ah'll have ye ken ah'm a serious ****,,,,,voice o the nation me,,,,,,its aldo thats the oot spoken wan,,,,,and dinae get me started on leslie,,,,,lol,,,,,,, a ken whit ye mean wi the map, a pc3'd mine a couple month ago, and the garage downloaded a map an it had a huge flat spot, at 7k and a got 20 odd mile tae a tank,,,,****** braw, 300 weel spent, took it tae a duc specialist wha dynod it and custom mapped the hoor, jobs a guid ane,,,,,,
