I've got both my bike and car renwals through the post this last week. My bike insurance is the same but the car has sky-rocketed.

It's all well and good comparing our education system (which does have its flaws) to other European nations, but we don't pay the same level of taxes. The education system needs to be reviewed, but that costs money. A lot of money. Sadly government won't fund it. There are far too many ...

DID VMX gold chain and JT Sprockets. I've looked online and that DID chain is the better one they supply. No idea about JT Sprockets. They told me they're the same standard as the OEM sprockets.

... service) but it's not looked like someone with oily hands has worked on it. I gave the bike a clean before it went in and it's come back in the same condition. They charge £50 an hour which isn't the cheapest, but Mike now charges £45 and you don't get a courtesy bike with that. On top of the ...

Cheers Kwacky. I'm the same and prefer inital bite. I will have a look at them. Thanks

All that bling and then the clutch reservoir is the same as my Multi and thousands of other bikes.

... Sounds a good bike for touring which it is designed to do. Perhaps not the best as a daily commute but sounds like you enjoyed yourself all the same. The SX should come back tip top for another 12 months and hopefully it might mark a change in the weather and some warmth shining down onto the ...

... would have been through on goal otherwise). Really regret it now as it made playing footy, running etc painful at times. I no longer have the same flexability and walk and run with trying to compensate for it. So be careful I never had mine checked as I thought it was just a stub at the time ...

I didn't know this. I've had DID a few times on bikes and they haven't failed me yet. However I think the Daytona was a different brand and that was just for the track so maybe he was told the same things?

... for the full service, chain and sprockets supplied and fitted and crash bungs fitted. I did shop around but Blade was closer. Mike offered the same for £400 but without a courtesy bike which B'ham Kwak have supplied. To be honest I want a Kawasaki dealership to do the work on this bike as I ...

How does the QS cut the power, Blade? They don't all work quite the same do they? Taken from the Translogic website Duke: Translogic quick shifters interrupt cylinders separately and do not simply short the signal wires to ground like other systems, this ...

crikey kiwi that sounds a tough life,can you eventually retire from it but stay in the same industry on land thats more 9-5 ? Not where I'm living at the moment. Processing Plants in the Sydney area have pretty much all been forced out by urban spread. If I moved to ...

... ignorance, but is there much of a difference when you're working on shore to off shore, or is it a case of getting your head down and working the same way? I guess it's different for everybody, but mentally I find it a huge difference. Although I have been out here just over 3 years I still struggle ...
