I've done about a 1000 miles this week in my car.

I now reckon I'm safer on a bike. At least I can get out of the way of the ****.

Yesterday the bloke behind me in his BMW was using the car's distance braking to stop him from hitting me. I kid you not.

I have tried a few chain splinters and everyone I have tried is a pain to use and generally fails. The best way I have found is use an angle girnder it sounds crude but it's not just take the head off. Just cover the bike with a sheet. I bought the afam riviter with the chain ...

I have had the week from hell on the roads this week, Tuesday I got bashed up the back side by a dirty great big wagon on the motorway (M40) lucky it was fairly slow, but all the same I went into a little shock in the afternoon of what could have been. When I mentioned it earlier in the ...

Apply it cold. It will work its way into the chain.

I definitely half way there mate.

Its isn't just this country Perkles, its the whole world.

its the culture of compensation that has forced this way of thinking.

You need to have done a risk assessment for so many things nowadays.

I just want to go out riding now it's made my whole body need that feeling. Dam it weekend hurry up!!

However I have just seen a pic of Frankie's on facebook it seems the snow is on its way!!

I could live with a snow day at home, *thinks log fire, soup, and the really thick duvet that's not been out this year*.... Me to, and it looks like I'm might get one. Sarah is in London, I'm at home with my Sister in-law, Brother in-law, five kids and my Brother in-law has just been picked up in a...

Despite StM's build up, I've got very similar views to him on crash protection for 675's Andy. I've found out the expensive way that GB engine covers, spindle bobbins and crash bungs are a must and should be considered disposable in any off at all, also the small tank protectors can ...

bugger

That's the ideal way to go but we are still required to produce drawings due to tolerances.

With our Additive Manufacturing we just sent out an STL file and build parts

I used to use a package called ParaCAD (Parametric) until been forced over to AutoSH!TE. It was way ahead of it's time, most people just used CAD as an electronic drawing board then. This is about 20 years ago, and way before 3D. We developed a whole modular range of generators ...

... for more than 10 years uses feature-based modelling. I understand and can do feature-based but if I ever have to modify someone's model done that way I have to start fresh. It is impossible to edit someone else's model and get it right. I completely agree it is all down to the user's inputs but ...

Meh, this guy is normally fairly accurate at predicting the Buxton microclimate.

Sounds about right, I've been jinxed (bike wise) ever since I moved to the Peaks

Its been wet too. And we've had months of dry weather.


I'm blaming Monty. Ever since he got a bike the weather has gone to shit

B@llocks, got my pass stamped for a Saturday afternoon ride as well

Snow forecast for Friday. Fairly predictable that a mild winter would mean a cold wintery start to Spring.

... bribes on offer. That was pre-2009 and things have changed since then, I still feel the same, that single manufacturer dealers are not the best way forward for anyone, glad to see DG expanding into Triumph - Sales, Service and Parts guys all get more experience and a wider knowledge of how things ...
