... of mine for clutch friction plates, springs and braided clutch line braided brake lines front and rear and a set of tyres. The seat vinyl is 18 years old and knackered so I dropped it off at an upholsterers yesterday. Picked the seat and the bike up today and it feels like a new bike. He reckoned ...

My tax bill is way more than that this year

How can a company that earned more than £2,000 million last year in profits worldwide, pay less tax in the UK than people only earning a modest £25,000 per annum?

Scandalous doesn't even begin to describe it.

Bloody bought a new sofa. Bloody women. Been banging on about one for years, last year bought a brand new sofa every week been going on about a corner one, found one yesterday and picked it up today. Yes it's nice, yes its comfy, yes you could fall asleep on ...

... and orders their 5 day – 5 kgs weight loss programme. The next day, there's a knock on the door and standing before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe from J.C. dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.. The sign reads, 'If you catch me, you can have ...

Many happy returns to Mrs Cookie.... All the best people are born at this time of the year... well balanced souls we are ha ha

... by Bournemouth Kawasaki who run the same kit on James Hillers Zx10r at the IOM TT. Also when I tested a Panigale, RSV4 and Triumph 675 last year the Triumph OEM quickshifter was by far the best. A reliable source told me Triumph OEM quickshifters are made by Translogic.

Had an MOT on my car, no advisories at all!! It's French, small 9 years old and got almost 80K on the clock, very basic car but bloody hell it has done me well and now it's in its 3rd year of service for me. so impressed with the little thing! That's really ...

it's a shame Honda were late to the party. A 3 way season long battle with Lorenzo, Rossi and Marquez would have made it a remarkable year.

I still think the weather could play a part in it this year.

Your 100% right Kwacky.

It's took 6 months for me to get used to the zx10r and get it how I want it abd there is still 24 months factory warranty remaining so no rush to change for at least another year.

I may try and get a test ride though.

That's really good. Most french cars are terrible

Yea that doesn't surprise me when I booked mine in this year I had to book it well in advance. He is a busy man doing all that!! Least you got a booking so quick. Show us some before and after pics Kwacky. Are you staying with him while he washes your ...

... it and I'm very lazy. So if I ever need any tips I always ask a lazy person that doesn't like doing something. I cleaned my bike about 4 times a year when I was commuting on it every day in London rain or shine, plus salt. But every time I cleaned it I covered it in any spray that contained PTFE. ...

Prevention is better than cure and whilst a annual deep clean cannot be knocked a weekly wash would be much better. I road all year round when I was a kid, commuting to work in the snow or gails but always managed a 30 minute wash at the weekend. Doesn't have to be anything too serious ...

Another thing to bear in mind, is people like me, D6. R1ckster etc use our bikes all year round. We're out early and home late. These aren't toys were using, it's an effective tool for getting into work. We can't pamper our bikes each time we take them out. That's ...

Hmm I have to say the bloke I bought my tiger off had it washed twice a year by a pro (if there is such a thing lol) £130! And despite it having 12000 miles on boy it looked like it just left Hinckley ! I'm kinda thinking an annual or biannual treat too. Much ...
