... tests and tick boxes. My daughter suffers from anxiety attacks when she's hit with a load of tests. She's had about 12 exams/tests so far this year and had 3 attacks. I fail to see why a 12 year old girl needs to be put under that sort of pressure. That is absolute madness. I have said for ...

... well paid gets to meet me every parent evening :) Perks, on face value they do get a lot of holidays, but I boarded with a family for a year when I was 15, and both parents were teachers at my school. I can tell you in my experience, they aren't on "holiday" during the majority ...

... at bay.. Expensive but the best imo If you jet wash I'd definitely re apply. Basically I reapply after every wash [emoji12] And given this time of year with a lot of salt about depending on you riding frequency just common sense. Is if your bike is whited up plastered with salt then I'd give it ...

D6 I understand that feeling. I had a fox growl and follow me and my dog last year it put my dog off walking around the field in the mornings and she prefers just to go to the end of the road for her morning walk!

It is Mackenzie , it was Mallory , they were his sons leathers - he's riding superstock for Buildbase this year ( Taz not Niall)

... http://indianautosblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/KTM-1190-Adventure.jpg I asked about taking the zzr1400 out as I'm tempted by one next year to replace the SX. However their new demo zzr isn't in and they've sold the old one. I'll do a review of the KTM tonight. Shortarses need not apply.

I paid £960 to have the R1 serviced and MOTd last year, including chain and sprocket and tyres. Done by a local race team, who did a superb job, including throttle body balancing and everything. Worth every penny. So much so, that I've done 600 miles ...

Very nice Andy. Didn't realise you was going for the new shape, great choice. Hope this year I will get to see it at one of our ride outs [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

... If I moved to Darwin I could but I'd still be on a roster of 12 hr days of some kind. But Darwin is like moving to a different country. I had a 5 year plan to come out here, get freehold and take up an easier onshore job, but that's all gone out the window with the separation. This platform has ...

AFAM are very good.. not found a better place than eBay for them. That's what I have on the rear (aluminium lasts as long as steel) and I'll be getting more later in the year

... in 72/73, (Many of you are probably too young to remember unlike some of us) the principal was fine from a trading point of view, but over the years con elected politicians have taken away our sovereignty and the £55million a day it costs us to be a member would remove the need for many if ...

That article is over a year old, I'm guessing it's gone no further? Not That I could find. I'm guessing the cycling community would've put up a bit of resistance. They have just passed laws in NSW that require any cyclist must carry ...

It's this time of year I struggle. Dirty water gets flicked up from the roads as a fine mist and accumulates as I ride to and from work. My the time I get into work the visor is filthy and wiping with my glove as a ride doesn't seem to do much

Where I live the closed pub is 5 km away up a 100km/hr zone road, with no verge to walk on. Plus being a single Dad now if I waited till I 'went out' I'd be having about 6 drinks a year.

Hahaha. I'm going to stick on a 600 for at least another year yet. I've messaged someone local to me selling a 675r but not heard anything back yet. Was tempted with a zx6 but my thoughts are that when I get a litre bike it's likely to be a 4 stroke so I'll enjoy another triple while I can.

Must admit I really like those leathers. Prob wise to make them bigger for that kid as like Jack says he will need a new pair after a year!!

... been stuck in the car all day dreaming of next Friday. Can't chuffing wait. Here's a few more upside down photos, really is in good nick for a 6 year old bike. Yes the tyres will be going, replaced with the SCs I've got stashed in the garage but not until the spring. Plus that hydrofoil thingy ...

to be fair the rate kids grow he'll probably need a new set before the end of the year
