Re: 2017 Honda Fireblade SP
Ouch!! That list makes for some sombre reading as far as std cans go, I don't remember it being anywhere near that extensive, but then tbh I haven't been on track for four years so I'm a bit out of touch.

Re: I had to laugh
I'm prolly around 15 or so a day.
I think I smoked a bit more when I drank, but I stopped doing that a few years ago.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
... When did it all go up so much. I was expecting my insurance to go down as my bike claims have be written off now with certain companies (3 years). Why has it gone up! I looked at insuring a 675 (bearing in mind I originally got a quote with a years no claims for £700 quid going back a few ...

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
There is not a hole deep enough to bury all the pikeys in, we had them move on at Mini Gees junior school sports field a few years back, they destroyed it, plus the crime rate went through the roof, the filth that came out of the pikey kids mouths (who *attended* the school) would have ...

Re: 30 years ago tomorrow
This was Rogers car. (we had personal issue back in those days) There were something like 40 points of entry and 20 points of exit. It wasn't just all the bullet holes, but you can imagine the mess inside as well. Anyway, the insurance company wanted to put it back into service. Newbury refused to h...

Re: 30 years ago tomorrow
The feeling of disbelief I had then about the Hungerford massacre hasn't changed, in fact the frequency of similar events elsewhere in the world has added to that disbelief, how anyone could do something like that is still utterly beyond my understanding.

Re: 30 years ago tomorrow
Sad sequence of events that day. Why he insisted on taking other peoples lives is a mystery.
I'm sorry to hear you lost a friend and a colleague that day. That can never be easy to deal with.

30 years ago tomorrow
... called down from both Readng and Taplow (the other 2 STA bases) and what we saw I can still remember vividly as if it was yesterday. In all my years in the service and all the fatal crashes and dead bodies I dealt with, Hungerford was the only incident that had what I would describe as a profound ...

There's a lifetime warranty and a 5 year replacement service. With the miles I do I'll take 5 years. My current jacket has done 3 years and it's still performing but the Velcro could do with being replaced and a couple of zips have failed. One was replaced. I'll keep the ...
