No can do Blade. The day after I should be off to Rome for a long weekend away. Well should be haven't booked it yet should be booking at weekend. Have a great ride and hope the weather is fair for you guys

Rockingham all weekend - there's a hog roast for a fiver and 50p off your first drink at the bar on saturday evening so I'll be sticking around for a few hrs after the racing

Try and look after this one

... by a collector with 2.5k of bling fitted. If you fancy a Panigale and funds are avialable Andy I would snap the next bargain up like that. Even if after a year you didn't gel with it you could easily shift it on possibly for more money tbh.

... I missed out on the 636 I wanted by an hour (very cheap low mileage FFFA with akra etc) and every other bike just wasn't as nice as 'the one' after that. I just stuck all the bits back on the 675 after that so I could actually ride this year. Definitely going to look into a swap over winter ...

2 Bacon sandwiches for breakfast this morning, 5 rashers of thick butchers bacon. My body was craving protein after yesterday's race, well that's my excuse any way

It's all relative to what you are on and what's around you, after all is a bike not meant to make you smile, so even if it was a c90 and you were having fun it's done its job. However go out on a ride out on a c90 and the rest of the slappers on their ...

Yes I agree it's a tough question to answer why I am leaving a successful and very stable job after so long Always good to go for a positive, like, you've been really happy but fell it's time for a change and a fresh challenge. Corny but a good line. Don't underestimate ...

... bunch of dicks. Tbh I met my wife at work and the chief engineer pulled me to one side and said if this goes wrong make sure your aware I'm coming after you. I made him aware I was professional and so was Tina and if it didn't work out we were adults and would be professional about it, so until ...

... my face, had the meal then **** off to enjoy myself. One of my mates got a bollocking for chatting up an admin girl when they were out on a Friday after work. He pulled. HR found out and told him he was close to getting the sack because as a lawyer and senior person he was abusing his position ...

I'm pretty certain you know what my HR is like at work after I posted about the parking issue.

Trust me, if I got clocked looking at that at work they would use it as an excuse to block this site.

i would like to try the 899 and then the 1299 straight after on the same roads.

It is still on the list of things to do.

He looked a bit shocked when it had sunk in. At one point he was talking about jacking it all in. I can't blame him.

He's going to take a while to get his confidence back after that.

Re the 1000. I'd also say get rid. Even if you managed to turn it into a cheap track bike, I bet you'd have a hard time ever really trusting it again after a crash like that! You just don't need those nagging what if's in the back of your mind.
Good luck with the search!

... the real me - and that's bikes, boats and surly step-son alike, sometimes to this day I still don't understand what she sees in me - and that's after just under 25yrs together. Trust me when I say it will get better, but not before it gets really nasty, but you'll get through it, pay the bills ...

The general consensus after the initial hype seems to be that is that there are better litre sportsbikes for road use out there.
