Steamers (1993-1998 Tigers) / Greetings from Canada!
Last post by Zephranthes - November 24, 2024, 09:46:09 PMHello!
I got my old 96 Steamer from my father 3 years ago and I've been fixing/servicing the old bike but still have lot's left to do.
I've been reading every single post here over the last 2 months and I appreciate all the information over the last 17 years! Huge wealth of knowledge here.
I'm really curious if anyone here has any Steamers in Canada besides me?
Looking forward to any new information that'll be shared here. :)

Speaking Of Bikes... / Re: New kit
Last post by London_Phil - November 23, 2024, 08:37:07 PMQuote from: Lee337 on November 23, 2024, 11:05:24 AMI'm inclined to agree with you on 99% of his content. I only watched the Monimoto review as I was looking to buy a tracker & didn't really fancy £100+ per year of some other options. I was searching for reviewsand TMF came up amongst other ones.
Cost benefit analysis of show.
Entry fee & parking - paid for by brother
Morning coffee & cake - paid for by brother
Midday coffee (x3) £10.75
Lunch - paid for by nephew
approx fuel cost of return trip - £20
Alpinstars jacket & trousers - £419 (£474 retail price at Sportsbikeshop, saving £55)
Day out with brother & nephew at a bike show - priceless
Can't argue with that. Hope to see all the new kit when I'm more settled in the new year.

Last post by London_Phil - November 22, 2024, 06:57:17 PMThe MFlyer is a bit of a D**k imho
Some of his output has been cringeworthy..
Meanwhile whats the cost benefit analysis of the haul from the show?

Speaking Of Bikes... / Re: New kit
Last post by Lee337 - November 22, 2024, 05:55:20 PMThe results are in!
Picked up some kit at Motorcycle Live at the NEC.
Went for Alpinestars Andes V2 to go with my 2 year old Andes V2. Different colour though - my Andes 2 is mostly a dirty white colour. Mrs L has learned that off white riding kit is a pain to clean
So this time I went for dark blue/black. there are a few design changes from V2, in no particular order, the hook to hook back the collar is no longer situated on the collar - it holds the collar out of the way when not riding. I used the one on V2 to hold the collar open during warm weather, which worked well. I suspect moving the hook will be an improvement.
Next up, the waist straps are now tightened & held in place with velcro rather than plastic clip things wgich tended to come loose when riding. another plus.
The vents on the front of the jacket and trousers can now be held open with press studs, instead of cord, which again is an improvement.
The trousers are a little different in that they have cargo pockets, they no longer have pockets that zip up on the side. a negative in my book as the zipped pockets were good for keys on and off the bike + small change for the odd coffee stop where cards are not an option (yes, they still exist).
On the plus side the gaitors at the bottom of the legs now velcro all the way up the gaitor, rather than just at the bottom.
The armour has also changed. it's now that weird kinetic armour, really soft & full of holes, but (allegedly) capable of protecting your hand from a hammer blow as it disperses the energy. I'm not going to try it as there is one more thing I'm not really keen on with this kit.
The armour is not changeable. For the life of me, I can't see any pockets for armour, so what's in the jacket stays there. It is however, far less bulky and you really don't notice it when wearing the jacket.
I've no doubt it's as waterproof as V2, but as I'm yet to test it out on the bike, I can't comment on that.
I've also got a Monimoto 9 which, for obvious reasons, I won't be filming/photographing when I fit it to Talyn J.
The Missenden Flyer does a well informed video review which I would recommend if you're thinking of fitting some form of anti-theft tracker to your prode & joy. He does far more justice to it than me, and he has electricity in his garage
