    Hi Champs. I’m pretty sure this is possible and I have done this on smaller bikes in the past on the tyre dealer’s recommendation. This could be wrong though now on the latest generation of wheels and tyres so please don’t quote me on this!

    Is it for the ped?


    Yes, bizarely not many manufacturers make 12inch offroad scooter tyres. The best we can find is for pitbikes, but they are all tubed.

    my 2000 zx6r hasn’t got a fuel guage or warning light either. Its all done off the trip counter (which is slightly out still after I changed the front sprocket ratio) or the reserve tap.

    Weird how if you stare at the first pic for long enough, both vehicles blend into one red and black blur.

    Beautiful looking kwak9 though, It almost makes me want to go and wash mine.

    haha, we reckon that brake lever was the first thing to touch down during one of the weekends highsides. It snapped clean off while we were trying to straighten it.

    top marks to the winning photo though.

    Airbus using a Boeing airplane? Last week I read that Bill Gates uses Apple Macs at home. The worlds gone mad. The taxman will be giving me money soon.

    That aircraft with the bulge is the Beluga, fairly sure its named after the Beluga Whale and not the Russian Submarine.

    I was working on a new hotel being built near the NEC last year. I got to stand there and watch endless people going up the road on the 848 demo bike. This year… I fancy some of that. Do they run the demo bikes through the weekend??

    Good write up bud, excellent fun although it sounds painful in places. Pretty fast cylinder change too.

    You need to take a set of wet weather tyres next year if the same track marshalls are on. You reckon they did it to slow people down?


    I think so, the first place team completed around 30 laps less than may.

    The bruises today seem to be travelling around my ribcage. I think the rider who crashed into me on my final stint hit my back. Luckily I had my back protector on, which spread the impact. Better that than cracking a rib! :) Its all part of the fun.
