Still a similar list, had a busy summer with visitors etc so no time. I'm going to do a few next month hopefully. Its been scorchio here for weeks and weeks - almost too hot to ride in leathers tbh.

The NEC motorbike show is back again. I've not bothered recently but I'll be going this year to do a bit of window shopping for a possible 2017 bike for me. Not sure when I'm going yet but it'll be at a weekend. http://www.motorcyclelive.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return fals...

Oh hello Good point there. Might do my bike shopping after 1 Jan then.

Daughters who seem to think it's perfectly acceptable to have telephone conversations at 11.30 at night (headbang) I feel your pain. When our kids went to bed - they handed their phones in. They hated it, but they got sleep and so did we. Its the only solution that truly works - and we tried many. ...

Graduation photography. Rip off merchants.

£31 for one photograph! If we want 3 photos of our youngest graduating and three of us as a family - £98!

Excluding postage.

I'd do that in a day in my garage let alone a professional one.

Is it worth dynoing the current setup then when you've fitted the new one dynoing the new one?

Whatever it will be a sweet bike.

I saw one of these on the road yesterday (1299S), came past me slowly on a dual carriageway, spotted me looking, so dropped a gear and caned it sounded and looked great. My god it disappeared quickly too

Test rides are a must. That's a given :D I'm going to ask to take out the z800 to see how that compares to the z1000. I'm not sure where my nearest BMW dealer is. Rednal is your nearest dealer. I used to work within walking distance of it. Nice people. Right next door to the McLaren Dealership too ...

That looks really good. Star wars without some of the shininess - gritty almost.
