That sucks.. I'm half hour from Bristol and there is no sign of rain anytime soon..

Quite mild today also.

My bike progress is sadly on hold until my Uni work is finished. It would be a mistake if I finished the bike before my uni work, the first nice bit of weather and I would on the bike all day

Some very informative information Duke. Thanks for posting as I said previously I need to educate myself on this subject before I will vote which I imagine alot of other UK citizens share.

... and my partner insured the same car but my price came up 500quid more than hers! Seriously how does that work...I had been on the road for years before her and yet she got a better deal!! I don't tend to go with companies I hear of I go to price and what I get out of it. Eg MCE were great on ...

Sounds great Kwacky. Always nice to hear a good review and not just the bad ones. I think in modern life we tend to look for bad reviews before looking for good ones which is a shame.

... getting on i can tell the engine is low in the frame as the throttle bodies are just a pain in the bum to get to. Just about got the air-box on before my hands started to freeze so retreated inside

... The bike hasn't been washed (not part of the service) but it's not looked like someone with oily hands has worked on it. I gave the bike a clean before it went in and it's come back in the same condition. They charge £50 an hour which isn't the cheapest, but Mike now charges £45 and you don't ...

Porridge, about 10 seconds before I got on the bike. Late start this morning.

Just check the 10 has valves checked at 15k.

... a recirc / reed valve is ? As not familiar with this on a 4 stroke and I like you like to do home servicing but have not come across this item before. Did you mean 25600 km as this equates exactly to 16000 mlies which is when 99% of manufacturers schedule the first valve clearance check.

... going to do 3 x 20 plate next week which will be bloody difficult. After that I managed 34kg dumbells with ease - I've never tried more than 30 before so might start trying to go heavier on those too Night off the gym tonight, I'm eaxhausted after leaving for work before 7am and getting home ...

Alot of uncomfortable truths in there for the Mcanns. But the bit that gets me the most in that article and I hadn't been aware of before is: "The night before she became a memory, Maddie asked her mother, ‘Why did you not come when Sean and I cried last night?" What is wrong ...

... to get out here and fly back to Australia) from a decent hospital if you get seriously hurt or ill. Also the income this place generates before the oil price fall was approx. 15 million/day. You trip something and stop production your arse is in a sling. I caused a $30K loss of production ...

I just had a Uncle Ben's Mexican Chilli pot, very nice and reasonably filling.

Had my 731 calorie shake for breakfast and have a soup ready for 5pm before the gym.

a reminder from the DVLA that my tax runs out at the end of the month but I need to get an MOT on the zx6r before I can renew it.

Had talon before and they are a decent sprocket

Tell me about it. Yep i should have thought before posting it.

... back together with zip ties. I was surprised how little damage they sustained. I was doing 50mph ish and slid along the road for quite some time before hitting a curb. The ambulance crew cut them to pieces not sure if you can see but the damage to the leathers was on the elbow / arm ,bum area ...

... on most of them, meaning I have a LOT of work to do in the next week or so. My boss has just informed me that one our customers has requested that before I do this on their sites, I raise a change request for each of their sites and email the sites individually to discuss it. This will add about ...
