... 600. You had an SV650 twin before, so you got used to the low down grunt. (puts on patronising old man voice) Look son, I've had 600s since you were using boobs for food not pleasure ;) . The old 600s really did have nothing at all below 7 or 8k revs. These new zx6rs have grunt compared to the ...

... the suspension starting to absorb bumps. This was when I realised the bike NEEDS to be 'ridden' to get the most out of it. My old Suzuki's brakes were like milk carton lids and the suspension as useful in support as a bottle of rum to a recovering alcoholic - it would have been better if it wasn't ...

... out like there was no tomorrow (giggle) That seems a rather extreme way of yours, to jump the queue for the pudding service Blade. ;) I trust you were treated to a spectacular display.?

Tony, how's your sister after her spill? She was supposed to start a new job at the hospital she was admitted to on Sunday but they were quite understanding about it. Sis has a couple of bruises and is gutted about her bike but all in all she's fine. She needs a new lid and just waiting ...

There were a few broken down cars. I take it no one bothers to check their vehicles these days?

That involves common sense and an IQ. Not happening.

Checked the covers were still on the bikes, had a bit of banter on the tw@ttersphere

... both "ghosts" had been sites of men being killed in work related accidents whilst alone in the last 40yrs, both "ghosts" were described to me a misty grey/brown vague shapes. There's more out there than we understand.....

Was going to go for a Blade but me and my dad were the last lucky 2 of the day, we waited in line for an hour and there were still PLENTY of people behind us who got turned away! Glad I didn't take ...

Never seen Top Gun, but if they were to make a new modern one think I'd give it a go and watch it
