So what channel is showing it this year??

Had the same with World Rally earlier this year. Looking forward to watching the Monte and then found it was only on ITV4 or Eurosport. After that I gave in and bought a Freeview box to pick it up on ITV.

Damned if I want to pay 20-30-40 quid a month for satellite/cable on top of stupid amount license fees. I don't get to watch anything before 9 as it is.

...... I don't get to watch anything before 9 as it is.

I think you've misunderstood how the 9:00 "watershed" is meant to work

[Me-109]

Isn't 9:00 when the 'decent' programmes start anyway?

Interesting

I thought 57-65-57 mm was reckoned to be the way to go.

1098 showing 146 hp on a dyno with a stock motor, blind alley?? i don't think so.

1098 showing 146 hp on a dyno with a stock motor,

That sounds OK. The trouble is Chris, as you know, that is just a figure. Unless you know what the standard bike - on the same dyno under the same conditions AND with the same correction factor being applied - gives, then we can't make a judgement.

I only commented because it occurred to me that the factory might know best!!

Your right,the factory supplied the aftermarket factory Termi pipes,in actual fact,it ain't the pipes or brake pads at £350 a pop,yes you did read right!!!,it's the aftermarket wafer thin fibre glass body panels that i found even more interesting hold e'm up to the light you can read a newspaper through e'm.

As for the dyno,what i can tell you a 1098 shows 147 on the same dyno my S made 100!!!,and thats a Superstock spec 1098,you can't even cut the wires off that lead to the winkers,with nothing trick in the motor what so ever.

[sandbar]

the aftermarket factory Termi pipes

Is that just Termi stickers or the pipes as well?
