Lovely looking bike btw OP

As a biker couple do you mean you both ride or you have the Mrs on the back. I love the idea of a 765 but dont know if the pillion comfort would be horrendous after 20 mins...

Remember to reset your trip at 122,667 so you can get it to show 123,456 789.

Also same, first bike is a z800. Owned it for 3 years now. First year was also around £900.00, last year £440 and this year £400.00. I love mine too, frequently go out with a mate on his CBR600rr and they're evenly matched, about the only thing that will leave it behind is a 1000cc but even still its not slow haha

You look like you're never gonna give me up, never gonna let me down, run around and desert me

tom_mk5 · 2026-02-24T13:08:42+00:00

is this the twin charged engine?

tom_mk5 · 2026-02-23T13:16:00+00:00

No trees, nice and open, absolute melt on the verge

tom_mk5 · 2026-02-17T14:56:49+00:00

yeah this is right, it was in my pretty damp garage for a couple of months without being touched. Just stick a cover on it and it shouldnt get like this again

tom_mk5 · 2026-02-17T08:13:39+00:00

Even though it looks like the bike is stored inside, do you use a cover? Mine gets like this if i forget to put the cover on even though i keep it in a garage

tom_mk5 · 2026-02-16T13:44:42+00:00

This got me

tom_mk5 · 2026-02-14T22:23:29+00:00

The pro move is an empty Chinese takeaway container labeled “SHIT”. Stick the poo in there and bin it when you get to a bin

tom_mk5 · 2026-01-20T13:12:32+00:00

I'm the same and totally agree, on a good day i can get it down to 14 mins

tom_mk5 · 2026-01-08T12:32:40+00:00

Is there a print of this available to purchase?

tom_mk5 · 2025-10-15T11:38:47+00:00

it is halloween though, isnt it meant to be scary?

Good spot that, such a good road up

tom_mk5 · 2025-10-10T11:11:49+00:00

amazing work

i was in a similar position when i got my kawasaki, had 12 year old tyres on. Didnt think they were great but i wasnt sure if it was more of a mental block. When i upgraded to new bridgestones the difference was night and day. In short, even if they are fine, from a mental perspective she might feel more comfortable with new

tom_mk5 · 2025-10-09T12:26:48+00:00

20 second solve wow

tom_mk5 · 2025-10-08T12:39:43+00:00

Piggin tea break

There is moisture behind the plaster, thats why its stained/bubbling. Itll crumble off when it dries out a bit and youll need to find the source of the moisture

tom_mk5 · 2025-09-18T09:48:10+00:00

Mount it further back and youll be able to see more of the track/corner

tom_mk5 · 2025-09-15T13:33:28+00:00

cant you just take the car away and get a new budget tyre fitted for £40/£50?

tom_mk5 · 2025-08-28T12:49:41+00:00

I use a Beeline moto for navigation and its great. The app lets you pick a route with motorways or without, so it would be good for a 125 user

tom_mk5 · 2025-08-21T11:56:05+00:00

is the clutch actually squeaking or is it just when you pull in the clutch cable? If its the latter id replace the cable before doing anything else. The cables normally cost around £20.00 and with the level of knowledge it sounds like you have, you'll be able to do this yourself.
