Bewiser are fooking useless, seriously they shouldn't even be in the insurance market. Even if they were 10 pence a year I wouldn't use them. The guy doesn't even recognise Thatcham Category 1 which is an industry recognised standard, Doesn't know what an end can is, things ...

I'd be wary for a few days if I were you. Make sure its locked up every night etc. That sounds well dodgy. He may have been thinking of half hinching it and then you returned, so used the i'll buy it off you as an excuse for taking a look. ...

... every parent evening :) Perks, on face value they do get a lot of holidays, but I boarded with a family for a year when I was 15, and both parents were teachers at my school. I can tell you in my experience, they aren't on "holiday" during the majority of school holidays, they are just ...

Not me. The pads in the zx6r were fitted in June 2014

It is Mackenzie , it was Mallory , they were his sons leathers - he's riding superstock for Buildbase this year ( Taz not Niall)

I think they are ok but haven't had it on track to really test them,they are nowhere near as good as the brembos on my old rc8.They were stunning brakes even with standard pads fluid and lines

Probably, very true. In general.

I suspect that a lot of our generation (ie, the one with kids now of school age) compare and contrast to when we were at school. Human nature.

I was warned off DID a few years ago, but by all accounts they took on board the criticism and they're not back to being high quality

The issue I'm told is that they were failing in races due to the change in quality of the chains.

I got told DID used to be the best when they were made in the DID factory in Japan but since they subcontracted the manufacturing out the quality had dropped off.

Not sure how true just what I heard.

He quoted me less but didn't realise there were going to be so many valves needing adjusting so I asked him how much it actually cost and paid that. I assume he replaced some and swapped others over. He does get shims cheap though, he worked on ...

... valve (reed valve??), oil filter and air filter myself in a couple of hours. Wasn't at a main dealer but still got a stamp. 16 out of 16 valves were out of tolerance (I got it done 1000 miles earlier than schedule too (25,600miles)

I'd give the bike a miss tomorrow if I were you. The pain's made you forget which side the gear lever is on!

... saving performance mod. I am disappointed in you. Reckon I may have saved a few kilos clearing flies out of the airbox. Can't believe how many were in there as only cleaned it about 1000miles ago. The central ram air scoop must be like some kind of industrial grade Dyson fly sucking machine :?

... a false indication luckily). Then try and wind down from that and get back to sleep to get up at 5am for another 12 hr shift. At the refinery, you were on a set shift, you formed a real bond and camaraderie. Two of the people on my shift at the refinery are like family to me now, pretty much the ...

I have no idea which. I don't know enough about it all to make an informed decision. I thought that was what the politicians were for. To make these complex decisions for us keeping our best interests in mind.

How long were you there for? I was there for 7 years. I only left as 240 of the 250 of us in Operations got made redundant due to ceasing Refining operations and converting to a Terminal with finished product being imported. It's ...

How long were you there for?

I'd never bothered to look at that in fairness.. I used to use O-ring chains but found they were crap so bought an XW ring chain and 2 years later it's still like new, I don't think there's a single seized link I'll stick with a steel front sprocket though, that must ...

... at all. I'm not sure if they make them differently for supermoto/superbikes but it did put me off them Tbh Cav it probably wasn't because they were made by Talon. Most branded sprockets are made from 7075 T6 Alloy and obviously no difference in design, so if your comparing like for like there ...

I'm confused. In, out shake it all about so is the referendum thingy were having in June just a big national Hokey Cokey Dance off or have I got the wrong end of the stick
