What tyres were you on ? I had a similar crash at donnington on warm tyres in perfect conditions and it was just down to the tyre not having enough grip for the speed I was going.ive never used dunplops since

Update.... Ok have totally re-done the front and rear suspensions settings, making them firmer (a tad harder over standard) as they were at their softest settings. Doh. Now feels a completely different bike. Hardly any clunking. Still the movement in the fork yet night and day difference. ...

... you actually use that vehicle or keep it in the garage....that's a matter of legislation, it has nothing at all to do with cyclists. If you were to ban cyclists from the roads would the govt. do away with road tax?? No, they wouldn't.

... fuel tank wiring issue, which turned into a mission as I cut the loom in half and as I started making up the plug realised 3 out of 4 of the wires were black (facepalm) so spent a couple of hours with a multi meter and wiring diagram trying to prove which wire was which. I gave it a run so I must ...

... a breakdown in an abattoir at Wratting in Cambs/Suffolk border, blokes in blood-soaked whites playing footy during their break while pigs were screaming and squealing in the background. Bizarro in the extreme. Fwiw, I threw my overalls and clothes away afterwards due to the pong. Disgusting. ...

Pembrey? I thought they were from Sunday lol

... sure this front tyre and the brake pads are the originals from 6 years ago, so probably the first time they've been taken off and the treads were bone dry. As was the front wheel axle and nuts. And while I'm at it, 6mm allen head on a 10mm bolt, why would you do that unless you wanted them ...

If it were a horse and cart doing the same speed would it be any different?? Or disabled people in wheelchairs?? They ride abreast to make themselves the width of a vehicle....2 is fine....3 is pushing it a bit, but not out of ...

I agree they're entitled to space on the road but be sensible... on a 60mph hedge lined road 3 abreast is plainly and simply stupidity of the highest order! Oh, and this bit of road is on an incline so they were doing maybe 20mph?!

... the bus into Coventry and train home from there...which turned into quite an entertaining journey as when i sat down on the Coventry train there were 3 very attractive girls sat opposite dressed to kill. My guess is they were either on their way to Spearmint Rhino or were doing promo work somewhere ...

Took the long way home. Couldn't believe that my hands were cold. Summer gloves should be worn this time of year.

Good ride home though, the SX handles surpisingly well for a big girl.

... the dash, and there's a few connectors to get it all hooked up and sending out some kind of false signal from one of 20 other cars or sommit. If I were to have a stepson who was into street-racing, he would probably have the false signal coming from his friend's car, once that imaginary friend's ...

... of information cars are carrying now is staggering. From what he tells me, they can clock your speeds, position, the gear engaged, when the doors were open and closed and your driving style. In the States this information is easy to get at, but here in Europe some makers are more difficult than ...

... saying it badly (blush) What I was trying to get across was how much harder I had to work my machine to stay with Rocket. Don't get me wrong we weren't hanging around and Rocket wasn't pulling away as we were riding smoothly together in a pair. I just thought it was a good example of how litre ...

so were back in industrial recession today,to be honest since Easter it has gone deathly quiet at work,projects for capital expenditure have been been on hold and companys have basically stopped spending
Suns out though

I'm not sure tbh Andy.

I always thought if your MOT had ran out you were allowed to ride it to the MOT centre only if you had a prebooked appointment and you rode straight there.

I've ordered a hi viz waist coat to pack away. No harm in having one for £2. Stickers were about the same price.

Hi guys. Monty and I were talking about the 'clunky' noise we get from the front end on our kwackers. I've checked for head race bearing movement and all is good on that front (remember the issue I had on a 929 a few years back). I'll ...

... and more which I won't get into details about, but it wasn't like that to start with just in the last handful of years of us living there families were moved in that were not very nice and people really had to watch themself when just walking down the street hence moving away when I was 18!! We ...

Brilliant day for it mate.. wet in the morning and dried up quite quickly.

Loads of bikes there mate, just queueing up to overtake me ! There were 15-20 bikes per group - so quiet there
