Well fitted the Pazzo levers the other weekend and took her out today.

All fine and dandy for the first 10 miles then clutch starts to slip leaving me stuck on
A331 slip road.

Quick call to mate who came to rescue , I had adjusted the pin on the clutch lever too far in.:banghead

On the plus side within 10 min 2 people had stopped to make sure I was alright , 1 who was a policeman.

Got a chance to twist the wrist properly , **** me those front ends like the sky :devil

came back with a smile like a chesire cat , never would have happened on the blade but somehow with these Ts it doesnt seem to matter if your fast or slow always get off at the end with a huge smile and small semi :bigsmile
 
Similar **** up by me fitting the same levers,didnt notice the small allen key to release the pin in the clutch lever nearly fooked it up but just saved it before the trip to the spare parts shop.Know what you mean with the front end, just come of a Honda vfr, scared the **** out of me when I opened it up but just getting used to it weather permiting
 
just makes me giggle everytime I ride her , best decision ever to pt ex the blade
 
Kinda fun, aren't they? Dunno what you are talking about as far as the minimal front tire wear goes....

ive had blades/gsxr's/r1's/duc v twins - nothing has come close to the fun of riding my T :thumbup:lol:lol :devil:devil:devil:devil:devil:devil:devil:devil
 
Had a quick blast up to Aber with Windy yesterday, late afternoon, came back in the dark. I was majorly hungover so told Windy I wanted a mellow cruise as my brain couldn't cope with any madness :no

That lasted as far as the start of the Usk Rd. Had to pin it and start hitting near-Summer speeds. It's been too long since last Summer. That front end hovering a few inches above the tarmac over crests is sooo addictive... :thumbup

That said, did a weekend camping trip with a mate on his CB1000R back in September. Rode down to Padstow on the Saturday and cruising down the A39 at 70-80 was fine. Could never have done that on a sportsbike.
 
Arh, the great A39 North Devon link road.
Off the M5, goes all the way to Falmouth in Cornwall.

Good biking road, love it.

Live next to it at Bideford.
Often down to Padstow and Bude etc.
Just watch out for the pot holes at the mo cos council has no money to fill them in.

Have just re-taxed the bike at £70... for a bike!!! The Yaris was Zero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yet they want £70 for a bike.!!

Razor - yep it's a crackin road, could do with a few more bends though!

I'd imagine it gets policed a lot in the Summer? I used to ride the Bridgewater to Lynmouth section loads in the '90s but they've ruined it now - all 40mph limits and double white lines. Mind you it's still worth it occasionally to get to the Minehead - Lynmouth section which is a cracker.
