... yately series was just a "turn up after work and run" kind of thing. I've been lucky injury wise. One of the coaches did at this to me though, and it's oh so very true. "Runners only have 3 conditions, running personal bests, injured, or recovering"

... the way these rules have been abused by people in the public sector selling their services back to the government. Its a very hefty tax increase though on those who genuinely run their own small business. Also i suspect some of this is to pave the way to do away with separate tax and NIC rates ...

Be well up for this as looked into this myself already. However is this speedway still going ahead and when? I'm kinda having to get wedding done and dusted first though £££

Because green is the only colour for a Kawasaki

Good choice of bike though, I m sure you will love it

2008 or later. It's a pity though, that they have such a limited colour range. Why on earth did they stop doing their bikes in blue?

I do quite like the extra shin armour a 'full' boot has though?

... I see the car driver check his mirrors. He and I indicate to the right at the same time. Nothing wrong with that. What is happening behind me though is something else. Me and the car driver have seen the cyclist in good time. However, the tw-t on the old red Honda thinks he's going to hammer ...

... know I tend to stick to posted areas because it's there for a reason. He is just flaunting him being a prick. Yesterday I had 4 LEARNER riders who thought they were bad arse riders in a 30mph zone. I clocked them way down the road and realised very quickly that they were maxing their little machines ...

... up front was doing it....:) We had a break and I said how about a ride on the bike they had up at the base camp an rm 250, he said yes, I thought he was joking, but they let me take it down to the track... holy crap that was miles better than the other ones I had a blast. Almost flipped ...

... you notified your GAP Insurers? If not I would do that ASAP. My GAP insurers didn't pay out. They said I had to take the replacement bike, even though I didn't know if I could ever ride a bike again.

... to pick up a part for my sisters bike and was having a nose around at the Suzukis and Yammys but nothing took my fancy. I do like z1000sx's though.....

I think the Germans need some basic art lessons on using colours that compliment each other. I thought black went with everything? :D I see what you mean though Duke, it does look just a bit off. But I'm glad they got rid of the 'gills' on the side fairings, never took ...

Ha-ha. Imagine trying to insure it

I believe even though the website only goes live on 13 the July they have already sold 72 and 12 of them were at goodwood festival of speed where it had a public appearance.

Completely agree about Interstellar - I watched it with the family and thought it was great, Mrs Gee kept asking what was happening at the end though - our 12yr old told her she should been paying better attention........ The folly of youth.

Yeah I thought that too Itchy.

Needs little more white though imo. I have some St Georges flag knee sliders which are obviously mainly white so they might help add a little more white in the lower leg.

What do you think ? Cool or bling too far ?

Well, yeah, I see what you're saying. But you also have the Dainese logo in white on the suit, i don't personally think it'd be that out of place.

I am looking at it on my phone though, may be totes different in the flesh.

Venice is very pretty but my abiding memories are it stinks and there are too many tourists there.

I think you need to go at the right time of year to avoid both, dunno when that is though.

Venice is an amazing spot. In autumn it should be relatively quiet too. I couldn't help think the canals stunk of poo though.


Mind you. That's because they are full of poo. Pass on the gondola rides .
