Bloody pervert .

Can't you do it the old way with a tube rather than the cost of a pump?

I wondered what happens if you meet someone coming the other way.

That's a reversal of what you usually get when its superbike v supercar.

That Bugatti is fecking quick off the line and equally impressive is the way the H2R hauls it back.

That's one way of running in a new engine!! Seriously impressive, the riders head must be processing so much information so quickly...think I would of come off at the first bend if going that quickly haha!!

Short Notice, but if anyone is around Saturday afternoon, Farmer just text me and he is out for a bumble, so will will be heading up to Stow for a brew. Leaving his around 12 ish, so will be that way 1.00 - 1.30 ish.

Will be good to see his 675 MV in the flesh...

I got a compliment last night about my filtering. There are some roadworks near where I work. The only way to get through the traffic is to bully the cars. It generally works. I saw a bike was following from a distance. I got to the lights and a well spoken middle chap on ...

... have actually been kinda fun here....we've been rehearsing some comedy skits I wrote for an upcoming event, and the response was pretty awesome....way beyond what I expected - but the place still sucks.

Nice one thanks matey.. They're about 25mm through which made me think hmmmm... On top of the fact the rear shock is so low there is no way you could have ignored the front and keep a safe geometry

... the operating window it was design and tuned to perform in personally. It would be well out of my range of talent and a road going softie zx10r is way beyond my ability although I do enjoy trying to show it who's boss (giggle) admittedly with limited success (blush)

Andorra is good, some great slopes for all abilities, I was not on skis but a board, the night life was good, plenty of great places to stop all the way down the mountains good lifts, stunning views.

... are you part of the SAMMs IAMs group? Riding this Saturday from Telford services... ... Im hoping that snow in Germany etc doesn't creep over this way any time soon!!!! jT.... would you advise the group chalet share then? I'm quite up for the idea... just need to talk the other half round! I could ...

... when i had my Suzuki Bandit back in the day and went and test rode the Daytona. I couldn't believe how much better the Daytona was in every single way (brakes, handling, acceleration), yet at the time Japanese sportsbikes had already moved on to the next level. The Bandit just felt dangerous after ...

I hope so Dave, there is no reason why it shouldn't, was going to start straight away, but due to various people being on holiday they could not get all the training and inductions etc... Sorted so it will be the 2nd November. As for lay ins, ha ha not that many ...

My tax bill is way more than that this year

... out when I checked I was a whole series out. Now it's on series 5...what the hell is that all about! I literally watched one series all the way through. Bloody hate American stuff they have no limit on how many episodes is an acceptable amount!! Now given up on it all screw them. Could you ...

Got held up by an RSV4.

Nice bike, sounds nice, but you're clearly not used to traffic so feck off out of my way.

We've come a long way in terms of technology but the basics seem to be pretty much the same.

I'm guessing so, but there was no safe way to go and check. I was at the spot for a further 5 mins and no one else had a problem. But it was still pouring down so i wonder if we hit a recent spill and the down pour washed it away.

... left it pissed down, major sub tropical thunderstorm. I was driving back up a double lane road peppered with roundabouts. Taking it easy and mid way through one lost all grip to the front and bounced off the Armco. Pulled up in the next driveway and low and behold another car has done it a minute ...
