... others, and often were targets themselves just so they couldn't 'repair' wounded soldiers who would then be able to return to duty. There's a great story somewhere about a Brit. medic and a German medic duking it out, and the whole battlefield falling silent to watch.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Very long day today, so been in the man cave all night since I got back, replacing the pads on the S1 and the gixer. (facepalm) (blush)

Triumph daytona 600

Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review

... put it towards a toy - something like the 2016 ZX10R ;) I think it depends if you commute and tour on the SX or just commute. The Versys would be great for just commuting imo and then a nice shiny sports weapon would be good. If only the ZX6r could be rescued you could trade it too and change ...

... generally made out of cheese? I've not heard too many glowing reports about their build quality. I like the SX, it ticks most boxes. It's not the greatest looking bike I know but you get a lot for your money. It's great for work and I had no complaints about it when I toured in France. There's ...
