... crazy challenges mixed with lots of running, heavy weights and plenty of heavy drinking and smoking has burnt me out early. Compared to the wife who has always worked in an office never been keen on sport or exercise, she is like brand new with no aches, niggles, complaints or old injuries to ...

Went out for an observed ride today. I got paired up with a observer who is also a cross checker and he scored me as a 1. Really enjoyed the run today.

Was dry for the morning and the posses it down about 30 mins after putting the bike away...so happy didn't get caught out in it!

If there's any Man Utd fans out there who fancy a winter break, I've heard you cant beat the Canaries this time of year.

... politicians should watch it and learn something about humanity... IMO politicians have wars, soldiers just fight those wars for them. If those who chose to enter into conflicts had to then partake in them directly, I expect that the world would be a far more peaceful place mate. Generally a ...

... the tears. You'll probably enjoy it far more, & it will be far better for you psychologically mate. (nod) I keep getting messages from mates who have been to see it, and enjoyed it. I may have to go myself at this rate. Like Avatar, I suspect this will have a better impact on the big screen.??

... Never ever (especially in a novice group at a track you have never ridden before) ride at the back or even mid pack. The only person in your group who knows the track & where to be on it is him. The rest is like Chinese whispers in trackday form.

... These things are more experience days than anything else. If you want to learn to ride faster then one to one trackday instruction with someone who knows how to teach (and not just ride fast), is the best value for money IMHO. But even that would not be cheap. I did look at the Mike Edwards ...

... fixation may well be a bit of an issue to start with. A cheap basic day of 20 min sessions, & just taking your own time riding with others who aren't trying to be a new Rossi. Actually Rossgo, you may want to seriously consider doing one of the the Black & White Bikes novice trackdays. ...

... in but at least i wouldn't be under so much stress all the time. Though when i talk to others in completely different careers it seems anyone who takes their job seriously is in very much the same position - Too much expected of too few people and very few want to pay for it.

... the box. Un-bloody-real......I suppose I am lucky they are still there, but very poor show from Parcel force... I will be writing to the company who were sending the goods, I know it will go no where, but they should be aware of this shoddy behaviour. On a positive everything inside seems to ...

Who's rocket? That's a great picture!! Is he quick?

... for you Blade, roll on 2016 now.! Got some good photos from inside my knee before and post op. Really interesting stuff. So, I'm not the only one who's fascinated by such stuff. :) Somewhere I have a picture of my own left knee, the patella in two halves & the flesh entirely stripped from ...

So what's everyone up to? Gym tonight then slobbing out. I was supposed to be going out but the lads who are out means it would be a silly finishing time and wipe me out for the rest of the weekend. I'm too old for all nighters. Saturday family day - star wars then out for ...

... it's hard to choose what group to go into.Personally I hang back and go at the back of the group to get some space and stay away from the idiots who don't warm their tyres and can't use a smooth line.Chrono days have to be the most sensible way forward

... bike for the charity... one day an SSBB rider may have the ride of your life... best that they have enough bikes to ride :) Thank you to everyone who has already donated - I'm overwhelmed by the generosity of bikers!!!!

... for what ever poor quality health care the NHS can offer you. When private your treated with dignity and respect and very much like a customer who they want to be informed and satisfied with the treatment provided.

... 3 months of physiotherapy then go on a 4.5 month waiting list for an operation. I got fed up so rang Bupa. Hand picked my own surgeon (Same dude who does Manchester United knee work) , had an MRI scan the same day i rang, saw the surgeon the next day and have a surgery appointment for 7am Thursday, ...

... was that bad.... Very long story for another day. They would not not do it, sold in the end, I must have been one of the only people at the time who lost money with property!!!! Proper fecked off. Stay away from lease hold properties if possible, if not read the smallest print when it comes to ...
