... a phase of slagging around when I was younger but openly admit I can't remember much about those encounters. I always preferred the chase. I'm sure romance isn't dead but it's sat in AnE waiting for a junior doctor to be free for 5 minutes.

... on. They are, quite simply, the worst kind of scum out there. Avoid them, they WILL rip you off if they have a chance. And I have vowed to make sure everyone knows it. Wow this now pretty heavy. Clearly this dealer should be investigated!

... suit on. It may be a great deal but if it don't fit right its not going to do its job. That depends on which shop and how much you're paying. I'm sure you can get a decent enough set of leathers for £300. Probably. I haven't seen one, though.

Fair point Duke.. It wasn't too bad with my SV650 but yes, the ducati will be much more difficult (multi or 748?) I'm not sure how much you weigh but if you can use all your weight in your favour it's possible. I typically run with the bike in gear (clutch in) then jump and slam my ...

... rear tyre. New rear tyre with the upgraded shock should feel mint 5K is impressive to be honest you would.of got your monies worth out of it. I'm sure it will feel amazing. Love you Live In Threads it's a great way of jotting down how everything feels at given times

You will soon have the hang of it I'm sure Rossgo.

... they had, the lad said I've got a Harley and the girl said I'm learning! I took a look at this lad and said sorry to be stereotypical here but surely Harley's are for bearded old men and the girl said with fat bellies hahaha!! I don't think the lad was too impressed actually but I couldn't ...

Went out for a mega hooning session.... what fun, snap crackle and popping, I am sure it does that a lot more in the cold... bloody hands are freezing though lol

Mine needs a good wash, but that ain't gonna happen today

Eating toasted crumpets and cheese for a late breakfast, stuffed roast pork later on, that should keep out the chills.

Completely agree about Foie Gras, I'm sure it tastes sublime, but I couldn't bring myself to eat it - similarly, crated veal is off my menu as well.

... and bills on), my lad told me all about him, and tbh I was both destroyed and seething she could do that to my lad, however I kept my cool - not sure how, but I had a good best mate that helped no end. Things improved, I got into a new hobby and a new job and my life changed for the better. About ...

All fitted ,it feels a lot stiffer with nice controlled rebound,in fact it feels stiffer than my Ohlins ttx but I'm not sure how they should feel when the bike isnt running
Look forward to hearing how it feels on the road

Well spotted. It's 195-95

Not sure what the stock is. I can find out. He did say that the standard spring is for a 75kg rider. I'm 98 with all my kit on.

... and said there was one girl who he thinks does her job brilliantly (can't remember her name now) but because she's only just turned 18 he is unsure how she would cope moving up in the more responsible role and he doesn't want to scare her off.

I'm sure Kwacky you will feel that will make so much difference. Looking forward to hearing your verdict

its disgusting, I saw this earlier. Such a cretin. hope he gets destroyed in jail. which im sure he will.

So sorry to hear this Itchy. Don't quite know what to say here but I think everyone else has said it perfectly. Spend as much time as possible but don't dwell on not being able to see him all the time. I'm sure he understands perfectly. Thoughts out to you Itchy
