The 1050 Speed Triple is a stonking piece of kit. Very useable power and a fantastic noise.

I don't think I want a carbon can on mine. I've got carbon swing arm protectors on it so it might look OTT. Something like this might be what I go for http://www.pipewerx.com/kawasaki-zx6r-2009-onwards-plain-titanium-round-carbonedge-gp-exhaust.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return ...

I've had Leo Vince in the past and do like them.

There's no timescale. The rear shock will hopefully be sorted by the end of the month. ECU in February or March.

The rest is on an as and when basis.

Which is why this government seems intent on forcing those who can afford it to have a second home to rent out as a form of income.

The haves and have nots division is being forced further apart.

Right, it's time to crack on with the bike Perkles has it to remove the rear shock, he'll do anything for a balti. The link pipe is here so I'll remove the big baffle box under the bike. Send the rear shock off for a revalve, refresh and replacement spring. Once that is in I'll get a replacement air...

I like the twin round lights.

I'm not a fan of the new weird looking things.

Piracy for music has dropped since more music was made available online. There's still a lot of money to be made in the business.

It does make sense to ensure people have pension provisions when you look at the way this population is aging.

Sunday afternoons at my gym is when they have pole dancing lessons. The gym has started to get busy on Sunday afternoons. Mostly men as well. Strange.

On that note have to seen the latest pension plans from our glorious government?

I see Davenports are back and are opening a pub in Moseley under the Daresbeers brand. It's the old HSBC bank on the High Street.

Brummies of a certain age will remember Davenports.

Iran being allowed to produce more oil caused the markets to wobble. China looks like it's struggling to maintain growth (which is no surprise) and the immigration situation in Europe are all warning signs that things are about to get a bit turbulent on the economical front.

Grey cold and miserable this morning, and that was just the rider.

I don't like these winter mornings.

I don't think that new Final Fantasy has got a release date yet.

My son couldn't believe the graphics on FF7. I did try to explain those were the best going at the time.

Greed is very ugly. If I can get my kids to realise they need to follow the career they want to do and not worry about house size and brand of car I've done a good job.

That wasn't my wife. She's older than that,.

Sometimes you need a break. Step back, recharge then go again.

I took my wife to the gym. Made her do some cardio, then deadlifts, dips and pull ups.

She might speak to me next month.

Cheers Andy, I'll give that a go.

Ironing. Living the dream.
