Re: What do you want to vent about today?

... came on the radio, I pulled over and checked the traffic app and thought better of it - I was going to Ipswich as well! P.S. M11, A120 & A12 were empty btw.... Moan today is about parents that are more interested in trying to be their offsprings friend than being actual Parents (with a capital ...

The bar ends were fitted on Saturday, the day before I did my Dumbo impression.

Re: What you watching?

I read somewhere that all the parodies ended up helping them sell 6 times as many as they were beforehand....the co. were thrilled with the whole concept of people poking fun at them. There was a contest....can't remember if all the vids/skits were a part of the contest ...

Re: Pegasus Bridge the movie

... shoot what the audience 'wants' to see as opposed to what they 'should' see....test screenings done before any dailies have even been shot, as it were.

Re: What are you eating ??

Went all healthy with a grapefruit for breakfast, roast chicken etc for lunch but went very unhealthy with an overdose of cheese scones (shropshire blue) that Mrs Gee made at 6pm, there were 20 in the batch but only 5 have survived the evening - and I'm the only one eating them. (blush)

Re: Matlock Bath Breakfast Sunday 10th April

My first Tankslap rideout was a good one. Really enjoyed the roads and the company. I made the same mistake with summer gloves too, my hands were tingling all day, most of that was from Kwackys back wheel throwing stones though, nearly shit myself when it happened. Hope there's more like that ...

Re: Hypermotard test ride

I too was hoping you were going to say it's a horrendous bike... I love the look of these things and would love to own one.

Still, glad you had a great ride out on it - think you should borrow one for saturday and the multi for the sunday and do back to back testing ;)

Re: It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt aga

Bit late but as Kwacky said, those are shite. They 2006 model of them were on my track bike when j bought it, like cheese! The foot pegs were drooping from the bent plates and all the placement adjustment holes threads were corroded and stripped. I put Vortex ...

Hypermotard test ride

... back to Eccleshall, i still had plenty of time left so decided to go out towards Newport and back via Woodseaves. Big mistake! Firstly dark clouds were gathering out towards Wales and after one long straight i could see Police Slow signs and went round a bend to find a cop car across the road and ...

Re: Wet trackdays

... the warmer go straight back on to prevent those heat cycles as they degrade the tyre performance. Personally I didn't use those on track if they were over 2yrs old, as both temp changes in your garage and sunlight will degrade the rubber, however if you want to check the date on them it should ...

Someone else may say different but I thought the SC compounds were to be used with warmers and not exposed to heat cycles. I'm sure they will be OK but maybe not at there best, but if not pushing lap record pace and using as a summer road tyre you maybe ...

Re: Wet trackdays

... they're not meant for this weather. I'd have no major concern using them. I went to watch BSB at silverstone a while back using these tyres, they were low on tread and it was pissing down.. exiting a roundabout there was a long left sweeper onto the dual carriageway and I powerslid for the entire ...

Re: In, out or shake it all about?

... a pretty good deal by joining the EU...there's going to be a downside, but the positives outweigh the negatives. Jingoism and 'Splendid Isolation' were great in their day, but that day has passed.
