... used to live 5 miles down the road from Cannock. Up early and at the circuit for just after 7am. Had the usual registration, briefings etc. there were road bike tests to book but by the time i got there most had been booked for the whole day. Bit naughty that some were booking 4 demos whilst many ...

... front of the Marshall's post, and he reliably informed me that my front let go. (facepalm) The TDO called an early lunch, so the next session who were in the collection area waiting to go out missed out due to my carelessness. :( Damage consisted of: Nosecone smashed Fuel tank dented Ignition ...

New series starts next year. I thought they have given up on the TV side of it and were sticking with films only http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3600149/A-new-adventure-CBS-presents-teaser-video-Star-Trek-series-promising-fresh-heroes-villains-2017.html" ...

... "But I'm late!!" "You're going to be more late". If I sound like a dick, I'm not....but the excuses/complaints I'd get were laughable...I know that at that time of the day people's spirits are at a low ebb, and they're not in the best of moods, etc. But I honestly could ...

Well done to Deegee for the right answer. The discs were straight when I used the bike which is why I didn't suspect them. However I am very shocked that someone managed to bend a disc during a tyre change. They are properly bent. He's been pushing ...

... and take out the pistons this time and rebuild them, then if thats not the problem i guess it must be the discs. Silly thing is the discs were fine before the winter. I'm really, really fed up of brake fluid now |(

... in the next pit garage handed me the keys to his van to drop it off at a mates. As I was leaving he told me to be careful as his wallet and phone were in the van! You really do meet some great people on a trackday. Hopefully going to get it home in the next couple of days and really hoping it ...

What tyres were you on ? I had a similar crash at donnington on warm tyres in perfect conditions and it was just down to the tyre not having enough grip for the speed I was going.ive never used dunplops since

Update.... Ok have totally re-done the front and rear suspensions settings, making them firmer (a tad harder over standard) as they were at their softest settings. Doh. Now feels a completely different bike. Hardly any clunking. Still the movement in the fork yet night and day difference. ...

... you actually use that vehicle or keep it in the garage....that's a matter of legislation, it has nothing at all to do with cyclists. If you were to ban cyclists from the roads would the govt. do away with road tax?? No, they wouldn't.

... fuel tank wiring issue, which turned into a mission as I cut the loom in half and as I started making up the plug realised 3 out of 4 of the wires were black (facepalm) so spent a couple of hours with a multi meter and wiring diagram trying to prove which wire was which. I gave it a run so I must ...

... a breakdown in an abattoir at Wratting in Cambs/Suffolk border, blokes in blood-soaked whites playing footy during their break while pigs were screaming and squealing in the background. Bizarro in the extreme. Fwiw, I threw my overalls and clothes away afterwards due to the pong. Disgusting. ...

Pembrey? I thought they were from Sunday lol

... sure this front tyre and the brake pads are the originals from 6 years ago, so probably the first time they've been taken off and the treads were bone dry. As was the front wheel axle and nuts. And while I'm at it, 6mm allen head on a 10mm bolt, why would you do that unless you wanted them ...

If it were a horse and cart doing the same speed would it be any different?? Or disabled people in wheelchairs?? They ride abreast to make themselves the width of a vehicle....2 is fine....3 is pushing it a bit, but not out of ...

I agree they're entitled to space on the road but be sensible... on a 60mph hedge lined road 3 abreast is plainly and simply stupidity of the highest order! Oh, and this bit of road is on an incline so they were doing maybe 20mph?!

... the bus into Coventry and train home from there...which turned into quite an entertaining journey as when i sat down on the Coventry train there were 3 very attractive girls sat opposite dressed to kill. My guess is they were either on their way to Spearmint Rhino or were doing promo work somewhere ...

Took the long way home. Couldn't believe that my hands were cold. Summer gloves should be worn this time of year.

Good ride home though, the SX handles surpisingly well for a big girl.

... the dash, and there's a few connectors to get it all hooked up and sending out some kind of false signal from one of 20 other cars or sommit. If I were to have a stepson who was into street-racing, he would probably have the false signal coming from his friend's car, once that imaginary friend's ...
