Its sam (bandit, zx6). Good to have you onboard. Dont think there are any other tl riders onsite but Jason with the silver firestorm who you were racing a couple of weeks posts on here. You need to get H to get on here. Hopefully see you on friday.
ps: Hide your numberplate in the pics.
pps: Stick a pic in the Members gallery in the Pictures and Videos section.
I have only had 2 slaps, one being a bad one but nothing that any other sports bike wouldn’t of reacted to in the same situation. Saying that tho, my bike is has none of the standard suspension that causes most of the bikes problems. Ohlins rear suspension and Ohlins front fork internals.
As for wheelies…again, in its day yeah it was a wheelie machine but compared to the latest bikes it is no more likely to wheelie.
As for riding the bike, well it is not easy. It likes to be ridden the way it wants too and has no regard for your style of riding. I can get on any other bike and be instantly faster and more confident, but that is where the fun lies with the TLS, it aint perfect but when you get it right it rewards. Plus the engine really shifts, and is just as fast as the latest twins out there.
