Re: Private Plates

I saw a plate on a Ford Puma that appealed to me; F1 NGY

I nearly brought a plate for Deany last year, but my bigotry against personal plates made me hesitate, so by the time I had decided to splash out the £ 250 someone else had already brought it. So, no D4 DNY for Deany,

Re: The Biking Friday Five

... Worst company I have ever had to deal with and still no better from what I read and hear. 2. Either the trip down to Misano on the bike last year or learning proper knee down on track. 3. Definitely being able to drift the rear round corners. Loved doing that speedway day even if it's not ...

Re: Private Plates

Similar views here, plus a good mate had K31TH B on his van for years, but he got stopped twice in a year and was told unless he restored it to the legal spacing he was going to lose it, he flogged it and the money is going towards his dream car, a '53 F100 ...

Re: Ducati launching 9 new models for 2016

I don't disagree, Cookie. I've looked back at the miles i have done this year and aside from the Germany trip i do wonder if the expense justifies the cost even though i love my bikes. I need to make some changes to my work/life balance before buying any new ...

Guy Martins land speed record

Re: Ducati launching 9 new models for 2016

I think the days of quantum leaps forward are over for the time being as they all have to be able to pass Euro 4 limits this time next year to be allowed to be sold. I think it has the lower swingarm pivot point and revised bodywork as per the 1299 and a little more torque and power but otherwise ...

Re: 2016 Yamaha R1

I reckon all the 2016 bikes will have the problem rectified.

One of the reasons I wouldn't buy a new model in its first year is most end up with a recall of some kind or another.

Re: Christmas wish lists

Mechanically there is no change but I think each year received revised engine mapping.

RAF - RBF saw new paint schemes :)

Ever such a good bike though, you could leave it completely stock and not run into any issues at all until Fast Group pace

Re: 2016 Yamaha R1

I really do fancy a R1 next but the 1299 is hugely desirable too.

I need test rides next year (happy)

Re: What are you doing today ??

As today has been a total slob day I ended up working out holiday dates for next year... Sadly they aren't compatible with the BBS dates for Almeria, so unless I find a grand or two under the sofa it looks like I'm staying at home next year... That said, I'm quite ...
