... not sure if you've missed my point. In India jobs are created that aren't needed. Notwithstanding that, they do have 10s of thousands of beggars though, temples giving away food, people living hand to mouth, and people living in abject poverty. The sick and disabled are left to their own devices. ...

... The population had quadrupled since then and we're still working. Look at the car industry. We employ more now than we did in the 70s, even though robots do a lot of the work. For a start machines need to be built, serviced, upgraded, maintained. So there are jobs which flow directly from ...

... worked out my helmet is over 6 years old and very tempted by this one, 180 quid with a smoked visor and free delivery.

... into the "what can we do about it" mindset; I never got emotional, always objective. This kind of thing makes you re-evaluate life though doesn't it Absolutely thrilled for you and the family Spud :)

Smart move !!

Are you going to sell it if it's an issue which keeps happening? There's still a warranty on the work they do to your bike though isn't there?!?!

... I'm all a bit twisted so I want to make sure I do it right if I do it. There's one particular instructor at my new gym that I would ask for advice though - similar body shape and structure as me except he's a few inches taller and has more muscle mass. I might ask tonight if he's in there and not ...

That looks ridiculously over-engineered... smart though!

I'm all sorted now besides clips though but thanks

Fingers crossed I can get it sorted this weekend and have a little play/shakedown

... considerably cheaper than Triumph wanted for new oem parts, so I continued with the rearsets, I didn't bend the frame mounting points at any point though. The levers were a different matter, I found that crashing with the folding (vertical & horizontal) levers you got scratches on the ball ...

I use pcadvisor.co.uk for tech reviews. Be warned though it's easy to start getting carried away!

£150 ish I think from gb racing website. Just had a look and yours are more expensive though.

The instructions say for best results apply to a warm chain. Easy enough 99% of the time, you just apply after a ride but what do you do when you've cleaned the chain and it has no lube left on it? Would you ride it for 10 mins to warm it up even though there's no lube on it of just apply it cold?

Seriously though, I'm not sure I want to ride with you guys, it's going to look all, er, like a bit Gayer! Hold you think It makes any difference what bikes we turn up how gay we look. We chat on-line and meet up in random places ...

Yes.. my brother has been snowed in at work (up in newcastle).. won't reach us down here though I'd imagine. I really have the itch but I can't scratch it yet :( I'm likely to get myself a set of brake pads OR tyres this month and get the other one next month.. at least ...

... be fun. I've nothing in common with him. Congrats on your promotion/elevation... I'm guessing thats going to do nothing good to your work load though. Hope that means more beans in your jar as well?

8 hours driving to Norwich and back.

I'm shattered.

Sports massage later though so that should help me sleep tonight
