I moved to the Peaks 5 years ago and if someone told me it was 2 years I'd believe them. Not sleeping properly for 3 of them didn't help!

Just realised, 2 years ago today I came back from holiday got home and within 2 hours I was admitted to Hospital where I spent the next 5 - 6 weeks.

Must be a sign of age. It seems nowhere near as long as that....

I really fancy an MT10, its just a little out of budget atm, so was thinking MT09 for a couple of years to rebuild my confidence back up and then once I start getting my earnings go up I will look at one of the 'proper' supernakeds, MT10, SuperDuke, Tuono but at the mo my ...

This happened to one of my wife's cars a few years back. We had old school motion sensor alarms fitted and we've been fine ever since.

Isnt the lap record round cadwell in BSB still Haslam on a 999 from about 15 years ago? I know it stood for an unbelievably long time, obviously was closer to WSBK back then with electrickery but still shows how good that bike was/is! edit Just looked it up, Haslam ...

Seems like i may have a more serious issue with mine too. Water appears to be getting into the oil.

Other than that it was a really good day and enjoyed my first day on track for some years.

... WSBK exhaust system on it was quite nice for £75k worth. :D few desmos as well, there was one in my garage that hadn't been out of his shed for 5 years, no fecking wonder the sound it made :D All in all a great day and looking forward to next year, may do that bon my Multi for a change as the ...

... and jokes he plays pool, lifts weights and sleeps for his living most of the time. I know he plans to work in Dubai on mega bucks for the last few years to top up his pension and retire in his 50's. I know a few fire fighters and yet to meet a poor one tbh. If the government is skint where are ...

... Police, Firecrews and paramedics are being asked to do more and more of their role. MPS have given themselves massive pay rises over the last 5 years £1billion was found to support May's government to get the vote in to cap pay to 1% If you're a public servant then a pay rise in line with inflation ...

... why should they be given a rise above inflation. Many people on here are probably like my wife and I who have not had any pay rise for a number of years. They do an amazing job and in no way am I being negative towards them or what they do.

He died 4 years after the incident when the Court ruled his life support could be withdrawn. He died too long after the event for his death to be included in the manslaughter charge.

... but I've left him to it. I can't push him, he's really had enough of it. All I can hope for is that he gets his interest back in a couple of years.

... defence work last night in Taekwondo. I got to show off some of my old Aikido skills. It's amazing what you can remember, I've not done it for years. My instructor has asked me to do a class for some basic stuff, like breaking holds and simple put downs (that's putting a person to the floor, ...

... is something that I may be better off getting a different opinon/view on the matter from a different perspective. I am a founder member from 30+ years ago of an advanced driving and riding group. It is quite a large group. For many years I did all the lecture sessions on Roadcraft, I advised ...
