It's just highly frustrating knowing that I won't be able to buy a house for years and years on my own. My girlfriend is disabled and is subsequently unreliable to hold down a job so she has limited income.

It all stems down to everything increasing in price but wages don't go up to match it.

I'm never going to be fast on a bike. I stopped worrying about it years ago.

Well I found out the helmet I use most of the time was 3 years old yesterday! I'd love a Red/Green/White Shoei NXR Mystify helmet but I can't afford it. I also need gloves as there is a hole in the thumb (these gloves are over 4 years old). After White/Black ...

I've used loads of different types over the years for work and biking including custom fit and none beat these imo. Great noise attenuation and super comfy. http://i696.photobucket.com/albums/vv322/tankslap/Ear-plugs-they-may-save-y-008_zpscpzjppga.jpg ...

After 10 years....I've finally lost one of my Ultimate Ear squidgy ear plugs. Done me well, but they no longer fitted as they once did.

Anyone got any recommendations on what to get next??

... they have apparently moved on dramatically with the RHPA 10 Plus and it's a quantum leap in quality and performance rather like AGV did maybe 20 years ago now. Owners who have owned for a few years and done decent mileage didn't have a bad review and in Sharp and Snell helmet tests it performs ...

... was total denial which was expected and she refused to understand, which I think is the heart of the problem of a certain generation. Maybe in 20 years time then the different types of addict will not be those who are from a deprived background. But again I still had a choice..I chose wrong and ...

... is when some people, myself included think that as they can afford it then the drug addict tag doesn't apply.....it does. We all have a choice 25 years ago I took that choice to be able to work 24/.7 look after 2 young children and maintain a career which was far too much for any one person to ...

I'd be willing to put a £1 bet on Lorenzo for the title and Rossi to finish 6th. Don't you remember the last 2 years with Lorenzo and Marquez at Valencia - Lorenzo looks like he's going to hit Marquez off at every corner Stick £1 on Lorenzo for the title and you'll win a handsome ...

I have been a Lorenzo fan for years and its finely nice to meet another one finely.

Cheers Cav you obviously have class and taste

... it means to stop in the middle of the pedestrians not before the white line. It's a joke there have seen driving go down hill inside the last 7-10 years and we just accept it as the norm now!!

... job this year, and if he wins the Championship he truly deserves it, as he has been consistent and very fast all year. The fact that he is 36 years old increases the respect for such a great champion. Having said that, we don’t understand his accusation related to the Phillip Island race and ...

Totally agree Cav and its not a rant its dam good sense talking. Myself and my wife did the IAM many years ago as like you say should be the basic standard of driving not an advanced level. When it's time we will actively encouraging our children to do exactly the same.

I'm a bit biased as I have 6, 2 Great Danes, 2 Pugs, 1 labrador and a Terrier Cross, haven't had a holiday in years, but not just the dogs as I have 4 pigs, 20 ducks, 14 hens and a South African Leopard Tortoise. It is total commitment but I work from home, on the odd occasion ...

Have you done simple things like servicing the fork oil? Made a massive difference on my RSV as I had let it slip for a number of years.

... he still has the occasional but now well into his 60's he's finally slowed down. I've smoked very occasionally and lightly for the last 24 years. As Monty mentioned a large % of users are respectable well adjusted people. I've shared joints with engineers, lawyers, police, a future MP and ...
