Well after being told off the doc I need to do some exercise, I bought a piece of 'gym' equipment for the garage, it's very hard on the shoulders and arms and supposed to help the stomach muscles. I can only do about 5 mins at ...

Good workout today. I actually enjoyed it. I guess with the gym being quiet helped.

... but don't stand with your other half for 35 minutes using the lat pull down, spending more time talking and drinking water. The Smith was being used for squats, the squat racks for chest and shrugs, one Olympic barbell for curls, with no weights on it (there are weighted barbells up to ...

... we would all like advice about how to stay safe out there. Like Cav has mentioned there's a fair few Advanced guys and girls here Fireblade_Ro being the newest member passing her test last month in the horrible wet weather, Ive been in the advanced training for around 1 year and 4 months now ...

... First and formost, I am a biker :) helping fellow bikers Sorry for rambling on :( But I hope I have a bit of credibility and I look forward to being a member of the forum.

... hell on his right leg, gets in the leg press and goes for it whilst relaxing the braced leg, I just thought what a chief and got mad at myself for being a pussy and set a pb haha! Not bad for first time back haha

it was worse in the car. 2 hours as M6 was shut and everyone used the A5.

I need to get another set of tyres and get back on the bike. Bloody punctures. As being late is getting frowned on. Even though I am normally 30mins early everyday just in case of delays.

... The bike is clearly capable of offering ample performance in it's std factory spec'. ( & judging from the picture in the OP then it was being used conventionally). However if it were to be intended for race use, then the greatest possible performance is sought, at the sacrifice of efficiency ...

Dunno mate. Family life is all I'm concentrating on at present. I was going to drop the Kwak off at Perkles over Christmas but other events took over.

All being well it should be done March or April.

... personalities make the racing more interesting. Loads of people hate the way F1 drivers are nothing but corporate mouthpieces now. Bring back Hunt being stoned and womanising after a race, Senna getting out of his car to tw@ someone, Mansell arguing at interviews. Yes they are racers but we want ...

... mile. Same with Ducati and the 1098 / 1198 and the 1199 / 1299. Don't get me wrong, they're still a very capable bike but the Tick always ends up being the bike the Tock should have been

Played "dodge the lane switcher". 3 times today on the motorway. People move across then wonder why there's a motorbike 2 foot from their rear with its headlights on full beam and the horn being sounded.

He wasn't happy with HJC and I guess AGV weren't going to have him and I don't ever remember him being a shoei or arai rider.

Probably as simple as Shark were throwing buckets of cash at the deal and wanted a top rider in their brand of helmet.
