... to get over the bridge and into my country roads. The bike felt like an old glove. I got plenty used to the Pikes Peak model I hired in NZ last year, so it didn't take long to feel comfortable. I like that it's a fookin quick bike but every sees 'grandpa' when they look at you. Kids like it, ...

... money on Aprilia. The firm might be still feeling its way into the top ranks of MotoGP but it’s had a seamless shift transmission since last year thanks to a licensing deal from British engineering firm Zeroshift. Importantly, as well as permitting Aprilia to build Zeroshift seamless gearboxes ...

... Well the good news is I didn't have to broach the filing for divorce subject, because she did and wants it done asap now (had to wait a year post seperation which was about 2 weeks ago) Kids met Jess last night, couldn't have gone better, they love her. Oh mate, your ex is going to effin' ...

I had that for the first time at Pembrey this year; someone on an R6 who does racing came past me. He helped pull me along a bit and I ended up being half a second or more faster a lap (that's alot on a 1 minute lap!). Best trackday I've been on

Glad you enjoyed. It was good to see you and have a chat. Can't wait to get back on track again next year.

So having not ridden the track bike since Jerez last year I was itching to get back out on track again, and I really do have a thing for Mallory. It's an easy track to learn so you really can use session to work on more than one section of the track ...

... briefly and it sucked....I wanted to like it, I really did...but it would ground out on even the slightest turn. Welding must've been done by a 7 year old with Down Syndrome. I rode a new Norton proto and it was hands-down the loudest most obnoxious bike I've ever been on. I loved it, but I wouldn't ...

... should I go for considering my riding consists of mainly; - commuting - weekend catch up with the biker lads - one or two long distance trips a year (1k or less) - nipping out for some time on my own I've been thinking these bikes:- - Thruxton Type R (demoed it at the weekend and didn't love ...

Nor an opposition leader by the sounds of it. I bet we have a General election within the year.

Glasto, one of my musical highlights of the year.

Ii agree, I don;'t think 16 and 17 year olds should be given the vote. Turn out for the under 25s was 25%. I doubt that many 16 or 17 yr olds would be interested.

... with me would be happy with that. So why all the name Calling?! Also can I ask a question why have I seen so many people talk about 16 and 17 year olds should be able to vote...I thought these guys would still be in education, still live with mum and dad, play PS games after school and have ...

... a level playing field with it being euro 4 compliant.It will be interesting to see what the other manufacturers do when they have to comply next year.The fast bikes test is only on track though so I cant see how its a proper test of a bikes all round sporting ability Good news for Kawasaki. They ...

1st year on a sunday since 1925 apparently - done to get more bums on seats

Iannone was quickest in fp2 also

It was Sunday last year wasn't it or am I thinking wsbk

Just concentrate on getting that new engine in the 748 for next year!

Another here with a 50% crash ratio this year. Think I'd agree with the consensus above. Whilst I don't think you really did a lot wrong it does look like you've committed to the overtake slightly before he's committed to his line and corner ...

It's a two year process to leave, but that won't stop companies making a decision now.

Pleased to hear that you're largely ok Mark. Fwiw my crash ratio is the same this year.

Perhaps you need to invest in one of these mate.:
