He looked a bit shocked when it had sunk in. At one point he was talking about jacking it all in. I can't blame him.

He's going to take a while to get his confidence back after that.

Re the 1000. I'd also say get rid. Even if you managed to turn it into a cheap track bike, I bet you'd have a hard time ever really trusting it again after a crash like that! You just don't need those nagging what if's in the back of your mind.
Good luck with the search!

... the real me - and that's bikes, boats and surly step-son alike, sometimes to this day I still don't understand what she sees in me - and that's after just under 25yrs together. Trust me when I say it will get better, but not before it gets really nasty, but you'll get through it, pay the bills ...

The general consensus after the initial hype seems to be that is that there are better litre sportsbikes for road use out there.

Chilled out today and sat in the garden with my brother now on our 3rd bottle of red after a chippy dinner. Kids asleep, Mrs is out, chimanea is going on shortly.

... really close ratio 6 speed box was quite hard to master. The car it's self was insanely fast, I just couldn't get to grips with it. 5 - Audi R8 - After the harshness of the Atom the luxury and comfort of the R8 was welcomed. The first annoyance of this car was the paddle shift being mounted on ...

Sad the Sun is trying to stir this up. In 1933 ffs. In 1933 they really didn't know the extent of what Nazi Germany's plans were or indeed the resentment for it after the war.

Cheap, crappy journalism. I wouldn't wipe my arse on most of the papers.

Sad day but i guess inevitable after so long and perhaps for the best. They were talking about the dangers of motorsport on the radio and how its a big part of it. I think riding bikes on the road is not dissimilar and gives it the edge ...

Mrs Kwacky is at work until 5 so I've got the kids. Not doing much. Best tidy up the house, look after the kids and walk the dog. Usual stuff.

... 10-12 hour days in quite a physical environment I was shattered and couldn't be arsed to make any lunch so would compensate for it before and after work. I looked at my weight only a couple months ago and realised I was pushing 70kg and trousers were beginning to not fit me again. Got back ...

... Guy's still a collossal dick. Seriously didn't know that he broke his ankle so he didn't have to go to jail. Does that work then, injure yourself after a assault...who do I want to smack in the face!! Thanks for the tip! Haha

... their contracts and seemed more than happy if I left them when I said I would go to three due to price! But managed to swing a deal never the less after calling for a week - had to find that one salesman who wasn't quite hitting targets and I found him [emoji23] However I can't stand more... 3 ...

Well i managed to get an hour on one today and after my disappointment with the MT-09 i really didn’t know what to expect tbh. The MT-07 was fairly high on my list as a bike replacement based on price, reviews and looks, but you can never truly ...

... Disney style it looks like there are going to be some spin offs. There's a Han Solo film being touted, which is supposed to be what he gets up after Return of the Jedi. Probably goes on a warm holiday to thaw out.

... (can't even get an outside signal at home) but it costs me a lot more on ee than I was paying on 3. they also refused to do any deals on data even after calling them. i'll be swapping away from ee once my contract ends that's for sure.

... to gesture to Mick I saw him, he apologised. That said I stayed on, so not much I can do or say really. Mick did say he thought he saw his mate after the incident, tell him to calm it down.... Anyway I blew past them not long after, I had the red mist well and truly pumping ha ha

A quick vid from the warm up laps and first session, somewhere around 5.38 ish is where I get punted off on the first fecking lap!!!!

Get my head down and get a lick on after that

He struck me as a typical bully - full of it until someone fronts them up and dishes it out - all meek and mild after that. He's still a knob though.

I need to sort out a list but if you know of anyone after something give me a shout. In brief it's my old road plastics in black. No cracks but there are some small scuff marks from when I dropped it The front mudguard has a small crack where I managed ...

... was the current model Daytona 675r but unfortunately it's now sold and not surprised as it was very cheap. The 848 is nice and sounds well looked after and the photos seem to back it up. It also seems very well priced and Rocket did put the 848 on his list admittedly as a wild card. The 848 is ...
