Obvs going too fast, looks like the chevrons took him by surprise. He got in two minds which way to go, decided to go right but realised he'd possibly be heading into on coming traffic.

Brilliant way to remove some of that Christmas Pud Nutz, have great fun out there. (+Pic when you cross the finish line.?)

... both on the road and in the workplace. I get involved with criminal, HSE and civil proceedings. In fact earlier this week I was around Berkshire way interviewing a couple of police officers. Any advice on keeping us slappers safe on the road is always appreciated. Look after your health and hopefully ...

... clue it was Orange!!) And strawberries With a splash of Apple juice to make it slightly less thick. It was delicious. Got my 5 a day in straight away in the morning. Really I'd a great way to start the morning

... any advice on keeping this going... I'm not sure I can afford Honda dealer prices and don't know trustworthy garages up here (Telford/Birmingham way) yet...

See you in 2026 then!

Do you still want that newborn car seat?

With a sprog on the way I'm nto sure what I can commit to yet. But I really want to go back again.

... too as that was the third rear (due to punctures too) so may as well get a pair fitted. It doesn't help that due to moving soon and a sprog on the way, the shed is full of boxes filled with house stuff and clothing etc. Giving me very little room for the bike.

Either way you were laughing your ass off when we got to the junction. Me, not so much! To be fair, I got my own back when you hit Itchy's leap! Sorry (sweat) ...

... I'm not suprised what's happening. Not sure of the laws over there but in the uk the sales of goods act can be used for warranty type claims, way after a manufacturers warranty has ended too. It just means even less people will buy an aprilia so they will lose out long term. Sad the owner ...

... me a long time to accept not everyone wants to know the how and why. To be honest it can still frustrate me, as in my experience it's the easiest way to learn a system, but there are a number of ways different people learn. You can still be quite knowledgeable on a system by just learning cause ...

Best way to get a feel for what each adjustment does is to wind each adjuster (one at a time) fully in then go ride and the fully out and then go ride to see what difference it makes. A lot of standard adjusters are limited ...

Cav, please don't take this the personally as it very definitely not meant to be, but I think you have greatly undervalued your audience in this thread.

Some of these old buggers have been messing up suspension way way way before you got your hands on it.

... is made firmer you also want to reduce the rebound damping (usually this is done by turning both compression and rebound adjusters the same way). TOO STIFF: If the spring is too stiff you will have the opposing problem to having springs that are too soft. In this case you need to reduce ...

The main thing I prefer with the BMC over the K&N is the way in which it is seated in the Air Filter box.. The K&N is a hard plastic which doesn't seem to be well toleranced. The BMC filter is a soft plastic (rubber-like) material which seems to ...

Purely the sound of the word.

It was used to explain Intel's processors and they had a nice concise way of wording the explanation that's stuck with me - excluding the explanation.

... in need of cheering up. There could be a small piece of land near you that's got weeds on it or would benefit from some wild flowers. It's a good way to help our wildlife as well. I've done something similar near me. It's nice to see flowers pop up and brighten up an area.

I like Stoner, he's similar to Mark Webber and Cal Crutchlow in the way he speaks his mind. I like Marquez because he upset the applecart and is fun - he is also one hell of a rider!! I like Pedrosa in a sympathetic way I like Lorenzo in Qualifying but in ...

But personalities make the racing more interesting. Loads of people hate the way F1 drivers are nothing but corporate mouthpieces now. Bring back Hunt being stoned and womanising after a race, Senna getting out of his car to tw@ someone, Mansell arguing at interviews. ...
