Good luck getting the front sprocket off on your own. Kawasaki are notorious for it.

I've found a shop specialising in enclosures for various reptiles, amphibians and inverts. I've been in touch with them about getting a custom made set up for my new spider. It won't be cheap but it should look good once it's set up. This is the sort of stuff they do. Mine should look ...

Going out with a chick 12 yrs younger and it not being illegal

And it's helping with my cardio

I'm 44 Blade, hadn't run for a few months, and did 3 mile (5 km) a couple of weeks back and was still doing just over 8 min miles.

Makes total sense to test it first rather than adjust it blind.. also be prepared to reset all suspension settings to the book!

I love that excitement of getting a new bike!

I don't mind it getting dirty, it then just needs another clean, I find it quite therapeutic TBH . It was still sunny when I got back so it was up on the paddock stands, make a coffee put the radio on and away you go, only took about ...

... After 2 months training I can only manage 10 minute mile pace for 3 mile (blush) so not going particularly great. Anyone know any positives about getting old (facepalm)

Getting pissed and eating kebabs

... of compensation. :S That poor girl.: 40mph head on with no crash protection to speak of is a VERY serious impact IMHO. Pleased to hear you're getting to grips with it Rossgo, useful extra roll experience under your belt even if it comes to nothing else in the end.

Monty, I don't think mine was ever designed to be waterproof. It doesn't look like it. I've certainly come home enough times with a bag full of water.

I know about the liners but that doesn't stop the water getting in and the front pouch getting soaked. The Overboard stuff is roll top and very good.

Hehe....ANYWAAAY...there was defo a guy who tried it,....I remember him getting flagged for it because of vision & safety concerns...and after trying it I can see why...or rather, I couldn't see, and that was the point...no wonder that fecker in the movie ...

Oh she's so getting it tonight! (whether she wants it or not)

Tonight.....not a lot
Sat....getting dragged round the shops most probably
Sun....hopefully give the 999 a good ride out before I take the mirrors and tail lights etc off before it goes to Spain in two weeks.

I can tell you 1st hand Kawasaki as a company is thriving ,bikes sales for them are massively up and they are getting new dealership contracts weekly
They have some very exciting new bikes inthe pipeline,ground breaking even so watch this space

Tomorrow I'm sorting out eldest sons new indicators on his CBR600FS2, the bike he's adamant he was going to sell, but after getting it ready for MOT now doesn't want to. :D Sunday, I'm sorting out the curtain rail in Mini Gee's room that's hanging off the wall (it fell off on its own ...

Tonight I have a 60th Birthday party to attend
Saturday family meal out with my Dad ,hes getting on a bit I need to spend as much time with him as possible now.I feel very guilty when I dont see him
Sunday household chores and if the weather holds out an hour or two othe bike at some point

Trying to find out where one of my experts has disappeared to. The buggers have a habit of getting caught up in something else just when you need them to finish something for you.

I wa taking the piss about the german ones. I've seen a few European sellers buy Chinese stock and then sell it on. People obviously think they're getting better European products. I might see if I can find some footpegs for the ones I've got and see if that works. I've nothing to lose. http://www.sesraceproducts.com/footpeg--milled-knurl---8mm-thread--fp8h-167-p.asp" ...

... in terms of manufacture year so can't offer advice on that sadly. If I had £9k cash and was looking at one of those, I would strongly consider getting a small loan (or 0% credit card) to get the 2016 ZX10R as it's on sale for around £13k with an Akra pipe

I spent all day yesterday chasing a four year old around Cannock chase then went to taekwondo,all day today chasing a four year old around Warwick castle.I feel like I've pulled every muscle in my legs ,even my butt cheeks are aching.
I'm getting old and it hurts a lot

I'm actually wondering if it's safe for me to visit this forum. ?
You hear about all these computer viruses & stuff, & I really don't want to be getting sick at my age.
