I don't doubt Brookes talent, I just don't like him, fwiw I think Michael Dunlop has got it fixed in his mind he will die racing and he needs to win as much as he can before it happens, hence his 101% commitment and why his riding is a bit ragged at times. Just my opinion btw.

Cheers everyone, have been signed off for at least a fortnight but can see it going beyond that. I've never crashed and written anything off before, car or bike, assuming it is written off what's the insurance company likely to do... I assume, being insurance arseholes, that they won't somehow ...

... there are 4 year old bikes with between 2000 and 5000 on the clock so personally unless it's a keeper like Dukes 748 I would always offload a bike before 20k and never consider buying one unless they were absolutely giving it away. IMO it's just not worth the effort and if maintained properly is ...

I tried "Power Cleans" on Thursday. Never done it before but the programme I'm doing called for 5 sets of 3 reps. 40kg - no probs 50kg - likewise 60kg - ok, bit more effort required 60kg - think i got this 70kg - 2 reps. Couldn't get the other ...

Ah crap. He was out with me and Blade the day before. His riding was fine.

Perkles, I had a girlfriend that tried that trick, she had tried it once before before I met her and I saw the scars, when I finished with her she said she'd kill herself if I went through with it, so like a heartless b*st*rd I said crack on. Oddly she was still ...

... close the roads. Not the warmest night last night so not the largest attendance but good fun and some good looking bikes and some I haven't seen before. I only took a few pics on my phone, but here are some highlights. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1442425663.166842.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1442425721.283591.jpg ...

... them rather than anybody who might pay them money whatever side of the wall they are on. I don't think the Labour Party can get rid of him before the next election anyway as they changed the way the leader is elected.

Sitting in Cairns Qantas lounge. Normally I fly to work Sydney to Darwin direct before flying to East Timor the next day. But bloody Qantas keep stuffing with the flights. Got to the stage my only direct option to Darwin had me getting a taxi to the airport at 5 ...

Look before you leap.

Oh the track is fine, you should always know your track before you go full out.

... car and parking up somewhere on the outskirts and cycling the rest of the way to campus. The way I bat traffic last year though was to drive in before everybody else left the house but I was usually arriving about 2 hours or so too early so I got my head down in the car once I arrived.

So Duke and Nutz you fancy a day out on vtwins in Wales before the years end ? Depends when it is. To be honest its unlikely i can take any days out of work this month. We must be due some decent warm days before the end of season though. I think i ...

... a lot of work there. There was mate, more than I reckoned on to be honest, but I had to get it done as its warming up and if I didn't catch it before summer I might as well torch the whole garden. That said I enjoy some hard graft that yields good results, it's good for the soul :)

Mad Monday again... (Name I've given to the Monday before flying off for work on Tuesday)

Housework, tidying up outstanding paperwork, moving all the kids stuff back to the house, packing for work and other odds and ends

It's the only day I can go really Kwacky. I've been before on last day and you can get some great deals tbh and if they haven't got the right size they have let me order from there store on the Monday and get a show deal price. Only thing is it will ...

So Duke and Nutz you fancy a day out on vtwins in Wales before the years end ?

... Wales for the day and its a great idea to make it a v-twin day and bring Dukes awesome 748 to join the party too (raaar) . If we get a decent day before the weather turns I m up for this (y)

ZX6R. Want to get a few miles on it before the crap weather comes.

Venting is good, far better than my old helmet! Very comfy and everything on it just works. The AGV is a nice helmet too but a different fit to shoei so if you have a shoei head and your gt-air fits you well I would defo try it a few times before you buy it.
