... Glad you got home ok. Don't know how I missed it first time but bike looks ace mate. lots of things went through my head riding the bike home and getting my other truck was the top choice but having no helmet and being 90 miles from home thought better of that option. Thanks looking forward to ...

Getting busted by an 8 year old

Just went in my lads bedroom unaware he has alarmed it

... down but a few pistes are closed. I'm not too fussed, free trip. If I don't ski I'll be in the pub [emoji106] Looking at the snow reports has been getting me down. I hope you have enough coverage to enjoy some time on the slopes mate. It seems to me that we often get second-hand weather from the ...

Getting a battering from my son on Mortal Kombat

I got clothes
I'm pretty jealous of all of you lol.
To be fair I'm getting a pair of motorbike gloves when I try some on but even the dog got a rope to play with

Kicked it whilst getting the dog leads for this mornings walk.

Looking at getting a second, newer Fireblade in 2016 and did a bit of looking around at bikes and decided to check what it would be like to insure in comparison to my older blade... Current blade: 2003 954cc valued at £3000 doing ...

Been flat out and not on the forum lately Blade so missed all this! Glad it went well mate and all the best for the recovery. Someone will be getting overcycle/overtime to cover you and there is always someone hungry enough to cover Christmas in my experience so fingers to work. Health first. ...
