I like Cal but agree he is not performing well in the shop window which could cost him his ride next year.

He might be lucky to get any ride next year with the way he is going.

I'll hopefully be looking at an RSV4 for the track next year..fingers crossed, I just need to find a decent post APRC version for the right money. There is cracking track bike on fleabay but too rich for me at the minute

We will have to see what Michelin come in with next year but I would suggest there may even be a reduction in lean angle until Michelin catch up with Bridgestone who are well known for excessive levels of grip and high edge grip.

Sounds like he may be heading to Pramsc next year. I think he made a big mistake leaving the factory team this year.

... record attempt following Guy Martin's serious injury Guy Martin's attempt to smash the Land Speed Record on a Triumph has been pushed back to next year following his high-speed crash last week at the Ulster Grand Prix last week. The crash, which saw the talented racer and TV presenter sustain multiple ...

... thinking along the lines of a Yamaha WR450, a Honda CRF450, KTM 690 Enduro or a Kawasaki KLX450 but I would be thinking about testing them next year as my only experience is that old Chinese hack.

... a bit too small for me capacity wise for getting about to places. I was thinking of looking for something for next summer as i'm a bit skint this year. They were good enough for going between areas. We were doing 90 kmh (60 mph) fairly easily and they had a little more in them so were good for ...

Fireballs over Buxton from an air bed on the garage roof.

Was very tempted to sleep there but fortunately my 8 year old had better sense.

The only difference I noticed was the sprocket wore out much much quicker, but at 600 miles a year that's never going to be a problem.

Personally I will never put an alloy sprocket on a road bike again but only because of the mileage.

Adventure Time with my 5 year old.

... road 530 chain so it won't wear any quicker. Plus it will still be even better than the oem chain specification and I only do about 600 miles a year on the SP so the chain will be good for 20 years whatever I get.

Off to Thorpe Park today. Going to be a nice day for it and haven't been there for a year or 2 now (can't quite remember!) so think it's about time we go there again!

... I've dived with a fair few different species of shark and never thought much of these ones out here thinking they were just reef sharks. But last year about this time I saw them breaching and spinning in the air, which I've never seen before, but gave me a better look at them, so did a google ...

Must be the money he brings to the team because it's certainly not his race results that have got him another year.

That run off is brand new as you can see where the dig has moved the hedging.

It's the same spot Dean Harrison came off last year which was probably the driver for creating the new run off.

... the oil and air filter have been changed. They asked me if I wanted the air filter changing early as it was getting grubby. I'm not sure which year SX this is for but I presume they're pretty much the same http://entity-webdesign.be/z1000sx/service-intervals-z1000sx.png

I'm back onto my cycling in the morning after a few weeks holibobs and injury. I can happily do 30kms in 1hr 10ish three times a week now so it's time to step up the mileage.

I'm thinking to entering the ride London Prudential 100 next year just so I have a target
