washed the SX and cleaned and lubed the chain. That chain will have to be replaced after spring but it's in good nick for OEM and 12,000 miles. Went to put the Eazi-Grip tank pads on but decided I didn't like them. I've put the smaller ones on the black plastic below ...

... have enough coverage to enjoy some time on the slopes mate. It seems to me that we often get second-hand weather from the States, about two weeks after they experience it. So if that follows through then maybe there will be some pretty hefty snowfall later on.? I don't really fancy going to America ...

Went to my mums after my ride out had a big lunch, got home and my missus hasn't eaten and she wants a Shepards pie...think I'm.Going to be very full tonight haha

Filling my face and blowing raspberries on my Grandsons stomach (it's in my job description), I'm also completely knackered and will be hitting the hay early tonight after an early start this morning to run Mrs Gee's Aunt and Uncle home after staying for the festivities.

... actually good to go out in the greasy and wet conditions just to see how I adjust to riding in them. Had a couple of slippy moments, one was just after filling up, think I may of had some oil left in the tyre after driving through BP!

Carbon fibre hugger and heel plates so far,more present opening after breakfast

@D6 like Blade has said health is most important and to look after your missus. Glad your OK fella. Congrats with the baby on its way

I bought one of these for my Z1000sx after being disappointed with the poor quality of the R and G adventure cover. At £80 it is very expensive for a bike cover, but at a quikc look it seems to be worth the money. It's made from soft material ...

... Solo killed off in Return of the Jedi but Lucas blocked that. It's very much a new New Hope, I think JJ has made sure it pleases the old fans after the disasters of 1 to 3. When Star Wars was penned the idea was to have the tale told by 2 main characters. Yep, R2D2 and C3P0 are those two. ...

... ago as times have change since. I only set it up for geofence a work and home so once I parked up it knew that if within that zone it was moved after so long an alert would be made. It clever enough to know when you arrive and leave and send and informing you. Maybe newer ones have motion but ...

no will get it remapped ,I expect they will do a standard power run to compare a before and after

I’ve had customers put their bikes on a dyno after an ECU remap and their AFR’s are just about bang on. So the tune developers really do get it right. Conclusion The optimum setup would be to have ...

Well after having them delivered last week this is the first chance I have had to look at them properly, quality about 95% just a few tiny blemishes in the lacquer. I put a couple of pieces together tonight to see how they were, ...

Yup I am mate, head out to work a few days after Christmas Day and only get the morning with them on the day so this week of the school hol's I'm having a ball with them.

... before a 0810 showing. We decided to go for the 3D IMAX jobber. Glad we did, it does immerse you somewhat but the 3D glasses begin to hurt after a while. The boy didn't like them that much either. But the film. Wow. Took me back to my childhood for sure.

Have you tried the comparison websites ? That quote was done on compare the market... will try calling up after Christmas and see if there is anything they can do otherwise will stick with just one blade and wait until I'm over 30! On that note... When I was learning to drive/ride ...

In fairness I don't think a 2010 Blade is hankering after the latest and greatest. Good bike but far from the latest and greatest imo. Swapping to a 1299 or rsv4 I could understand the difference in premium but merely swapping to a newer Blade seems ...

....Anyone else feel they're being priced out of having a newer bike? :( No, but then I've never been one to hanker after "the latest & newest thing" . I'm therefore going to play devils advocate, and ask why.? If your current bike is on its last legs, then fair enough. ...

Went out for an observed ride today. I got paired up with a observer who is also a cross checker and he scored me as a 1. Really enjoyed the run today.

Was dry for the morning and the posses it down about 30 mins after putting the bike away...so happy didn't get caught out in it!

I got dragged into Frankie and Bennys after the cinema. Not my choice but the kids liked it.

I had a meatball calzone, which was decent enough, followed by a cinnamon waffle.
