Tedious topic perhaps, but i'm in London at the moment, so have used the time today to go into some bike shops and look at summer ventilated leathers and jackets (on the coldest day of the year :D ). Found some nice jackets, but most now don't have zips you can use to zip to your leather trousers - ...

It's been snowing in London but not too much at the moment. Hopefully it's not too bad Wednesday onwards as thats when we are making our way back to France.

I have no idea :D I've been travelling for some of the day and ended up in the pub (again). Great night. Feck me we drank some booze - i dont remember anything after saying goodnight. Apparently i couldnt walk straight and spent a long time counting the steps by the town hall on the way back. I was...

Happy Birthday matey - great to see you yesterday

I know he loves me

Thanks folks! Lie in and some pressies and cards, so not bad considering i'm not at home this year.

They do seem to come along quicker now

I still want one of those. Fabulous looking bike.

Silly money now

They are brilliant machines, but very expensive.

Great PR stunt - that will pay for itself many times over with sales.

Bike buying is on hold until we sort out what's happening on the house front. I think I've decided I want a bigger adventure style bike, so something like the Tiger800 or 1200 (I don't like the look of the 1050), Multi, S1000xr or a KTM 1090/1190/1290 I've only been on Duke's Multi and ridden a cou...

Tech 3 have announced this morning that they will no longer use Yamaha’s from the start of next year. I wonder if Rossi is going to race his own Yamaha satellite team next year? Its got a good chance. Shame though as Tech3 are a great team and Herve is briiliant - i wonder which way he will go in t...

ep1 of Altered Carbon.. I think I like it.

My Lomo dry bags which are massive . I may have underestimated their size

I'm in the UK for a week or so, so a few errands today..

4 birthdays this week so have already eaten too much.. It's Mr C00kiemonster snr's birthday today so I bought him a nice Scotch he can share with me later

Bacon sandwich in a small café while I wait for my car to be serviced..

The simple pleasures are often the best.

The S is a good deal, not so sure the RS is. Not enough of a jump from the 765 for me to warrant the cost.. Nice bikes though. I like what the 765 stands for but surely the speed is going to be noticeably easier to ride quicker and for longer? They only quote peak figures but I imagine the area und...

How will some people survive? It's just so unfair....
