Double demo day
... so you find yourself tittering inside your lid as you realise you've just taken the piss with a silly overtake on the approach to a bend.

Re: The new improved fitness thread
I guess I was more productive in April than I was in March...
I'm sure I'm making progress, it's hard to say though with my body fat levels being higher than I care to admit!

Re: Mr Postman
What I found were really good were Rok Straps. They're elasticated rather than being just webbing straps.Monty wrote:Not cheap, 300 quid with the cam straps but they'll out live me. My Kriega rucksack is 11 years old and still looks brand new.
Plus I can fit them in any combination, 10, 20, 30, 40 litres etc

Re: What are you doing today ??
Traffic offences are one of the few instances where the police can actually witness a crime as it's being committed....at that point you can't really blame them for doing what they're there for.... AND...there is a discretionary margin of around 10%...after that well, you've ...

Re: What you watching?
... there are signs out warning people to steer clear, no fatalities since I was a kid, but most years there's at least one dog that gets a bite for being curious/stupid. Makes my blood run cold and they've been about since I was a kid.... :? Big Yellow Taxi mate,,? ;)

Re: Donington Road only - 24th April
... good. Really good. I love the far side of Donny and too many people are overly cautious around the old hairpin. The Triple flies out of Craner and being really light means that it's a piddle of pee to shift up early, pin the throttle open, laugh like a loon through Schwantz and carry far too much ...

Re: Kwacky's 675 Street Triple

This gives me a chance to focus on the bike rather than the roads (if that makes sense) My initial concerns where the SD's reputation for being a bit of a handful, coupled with the fact it is shod with supercorsa's and it wasn't exactly warm. The first concern was laid to rest very quickly, ...

There are also no paddock stand bobbins so had to go back to the old paddles. I hate those things. Anyway.... ...
