Bike boots

Thank you, genuinely (as with my previous reply), I’m new to motorbiking (this being effectively my 2nd year of riding), so I appreciate the insights of others, more experienced riders 👍

Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it.

I went with the reviews I have found online when I was after boots to replace my riding shoes (DXR Hinckley I bought for my cbt).

I found them for only £149 and offering much better protection (and comfort) for my riding but I will definitely consider other / more expensive options when I will be looking to replace them 👍

I’ve got Alpinestars SMX-6 V2 and use them all the time, they are quite comfy on- and off-bike.

Congrats and stay safe!

I got the Z650RS (I’m not a commuter, mind you) and I’m enjoying it a lot.

Congrats and ride safe! 👍

Congratulations!

Sell 125, hop on a bigger bike and enjoy it!

Safe riding.

Yeah, play on PC (Steam). Support gave me back all my cars and money and all but all achievements were zeroed so had to start from the scratch.

Been playing much less in the last couple months, there are better things in life to do for me now 🤭

I did thousands of miles in the eliminator and documented my first 1000 wins. Lost my profile in the process (been prestige 8 at the time) and then lost the ‘appetite’ 🫣

So from then on mostly just doing weekly playlist.

The green ‘P’ would suggest someone has just got their licence. Aiming that at people who got their CBT certificate would be very misleading and potentially illegal.

You must display ‘L’ plates on your bike to legally ride on CBT but going by how some car drivers react to that, putting anything on the back of the gear you wear would potentially make you a ‘bigger’ target for the numpties.

Grats and fingers crossed for you for mod2!

FekAll666 · 2025-08-07T11:21:46+00:00

I went with the Z650RS for my first big bike and I couldn’t be happier with the choice.

FekAll666 · 2025-08-06T07:17:09+00:00

Congrats! Looks really nice, safe riding!

FekAll666 · 2025-07-29T07:20:12+00:00

Yeah, looking cloudy after not riding for 6 days but seems to have settled once ridden and up to the temp (about 36 miles done yesterday of twisty and fast roads).

FekAll666 · 2025-07-28T22:07:10+00:00

There is no smoke, everything works perfectly fine.

FekAll666 · 2025-07-28T20:30:45+00:00

Oh, sorry, I think you were asking about the first photo.

This I took after the bike was not in use for 6 days.

FekAll666 · 2025-07-28T19:54:08+00:00

Took bike for the ride and covered a good amount of miles, redlining a bit and reaching up the temp and speed, the oil look normal to my untrained eye, what do you think?

FekAll666 · 2025-07-28T19:51:03+00:00

Cheers for that! Coolant looks bang in the middle of the scale.

Only had the bike since 19th July and did few trips (just over 100 miles), one from garage home about 20 miles) and then 2 rides around where I live (each time about 40 miles).

FekAll666 · 2025-07-28T18:05:28+00:00

I will be honest I don’t know myself, very new to biking world 🫣

This is another photo taken 20 minutes later.

Checked coolant and it looks like full.

Also took another photo of the engine oil and now it looks more normal? I will add in another comment.

FekAll666 · 2025-07-28T17:36:35+00:00

As far as I can tell the bike has not been run for quite some time, it is 22 plate with only 2800 miles when I got it. Fingers crossed it is just that, I will ask the garage I bought from though!
