i think it must be something to do with the fact i ride with the ball of my foot on the pegs and the way i hang off the bike may have something to do with it too

Looking at the pic of your bike. I see you have the oil weeping from your engine breather as well!! In the same place as my 748. Perhaps I am being fussy and worrying for nothing. Perhaps its a case of " They all do that sir"

LOL...deej...clean that bloody bike...please...its making my eyes water

[Harv748]

It brings water to my eyes because its my old bike

[Mr_S]

Deej, do you have those Alpinestar boots that have a massive fin on the back, and also hang off like a ba$tard in the bends?

Just wondering, as I've tried to get my boot (Daytona Evo GTX) to touch there and I need to get both cheeks off the other side of the seat before it's even close.

Just get the SPS exhaust guard. You can also get the jubilee type straps with the bolt mount points in and you're sorted.

It must have been a problem for others, otherwise they would have put a larger protector on the later bikes.

I had that problem for a few days, the SP guard sorts it though.

sorry harv but it has to get wet these days as some scumbag nicked my battered old pub car so its doing a 45mile round trip to work each day and that muck was only 3 days worth

all the bloody roads down here are covered in farm crap and rain water at the moment, as much as i enjoy riding to work im hoping the cheque arrives soon so i can get another car and save the washing/polishing every week


mr s i suppose i do hang off a fair bit but i am 6foot tall so have the legs to reach the ground without moving both arse cheeks off.
i have the spidi xpd 5 boots and although they do have a fin its the velcro on the inside of the boots thats melted the most, when i remember i will take a photo of the boot for your curiosity


hey weeksy see you in louigimoto on saturday, im getting my belts done so shes ready for my stag trip to le mans.
