An ambulance was on its way and other road users had made the approach in each direction safe so me and Rocket stayed with the fallen biker to reassure him and try and keep ...

If Carlsberg made racers they would make Shakey Byrne. Super talented and extremely nice guy. Genuinely went of of his way when he was busy to speak with my kids. I didn't ask him too he just told us to come over. Also never heard him say a bad word against anyone or about anything ...

I can see why pros don't have them as their speeds are way faster than us mere mortals could get near hence the digging in and flipping. However I'd definitely fit them to my next road bike again though. I have the slightly shorter ones on mine (supposedly ...

... adjustable rake on both their race bikes and some of the road homologation "R" models, so it's not a new idea to vary the rake in that way afaik. I can't see how it would vary the rake if the bars were turned, but you'd only have two options of rake from what I can see, anything other ...

Headrace bearigs that are eccentric perhaps.?
That way, as the bars were turned the rake would also be altered.
Just a thought.

Spectacular scenery around that way.

Cheers. It's a work in progress.

... one single full day out on the bike in the UK this year. :( Sounds like you need to come Duke. Could be the last full day out of the year with the way the weather has been. Can we not twist your arm ??? Sadly not. I have had a pretty rough year with work. Lost quite a bit at the start of the year ...

Ha, it was mainly coz I haven't been to Newtown on me Todd before it's always been with someone else. Will have a look on map, think the easiest (tho may not be the best roads) would be straight down A483... Hopefully I'll recognise the way to Maccies when I get into Newtown...

If your coming from Manchester way Blade how close past Chester will you be coming... And what time roughly?

Fingers crossed this is the last hurdle she has to get over Spudda, good thoughts coming your missus way from all here.

OK, I'll put it another way. Not enough money is given to those responsible for cleaning.

I don't want to see this thread used as an argument about application of funds within the NHS.

Listened to a thing about curry on the radio on the way home tonight, so naturally I had a delish Vindaloo tonight along with all the trimmings, fantastic! The difference between the bloke who was talking up the Korma -vs- the one who was championing ...

Reminded how well the M7rrs do in the wet. I got caught in a downpour on the way home but didn't have to back off.

My white bike is now very very dirty looking.

Rad is free of debris, fans run, a little too much they are very quickly. Quick run up the dual carriage way to Halfords to pick up some coolant. When I came out the warning on the dash came up, "check Coolant" topped up with water drove home, she was hissing and ...
