... in all honesty 10-12 hour days in quite a physical environment I was shattered and couldn't be arsed to make any lunch so would compensate for it before and after work. I looked at my weight only a couple months ago and realised I was pushing 70kg and trousers were beginning to not fit me again. ...

Tonight relaxing. Been to gym been catching up here before the missus comes home as she hates me reading up on here while she's in the house...it's no bikes time when she's around haha! Tomorrow missus is off so we're thinking of go I g to the beach ...

I'm thinking of saving for a few months to buy a bike outright rather than finance it. I'll see what position I'm in when the insurance get sorted. I was on hold for 37 mins with the insurance before giving up today. I sent an email instead. Wankers.

With the speed of 4g now I don't think it well be too long before people start looking at data only sims and doing away with landlines and traditional broadband. I bought a mobile wifi hotspot and data only sim to use at the TT (£50 incl 2 weeks unlimited ...

My bike is parked in the same place it was before they introduced the new parking bay.

1-0 to me.

I'm going to test ride before I buy. The 848 is very nice the 675 was cheap but out of my price range.

Fingers crossed get all the insurance sorted out soon.

... its corporation tax bill which the article doesn't mention. It needs the government to firm up their figures and state exactly how this will work before making a definitive statement.

... As always it was great to meet up with Mick and have a fun day bombing around a track. They will send us our lap times via email sometime like before. I know when I did some timing on the wall for Mick on one session he was doing consistent 1.45's, if like last time I would be about 7/8 seconds ...

... along with new chain and sprockets with receipts for just under a thousand pounds. Mot was done in May this year so has just under ten months left before due again. I fitted new tyres just under 4 months ago so plenty of tread left as you can see from the photos. I have fitted a few tasteful extras ...

Savings maybe, but I can't see payrises coming in. It won't be long before Zero Hours Contracts are the norm. Depends on the area of work I guess. My money is now above what I was earning when things were booming . 7 years of slow work has seen a big gap ...

Hungry!!!! I don't like the sound of it so far :D Guess you can't have a drink either (gah) TBH i have never dieted as such in my life before so this is a learning curve for me. There are allegedly health benefits aside from the losing of weight to this one. The plan reckons the first three ...

It's also exposed to the elements. ? Whats happened to the space it was parked in before ? has it been allocated to someone else or could you still park there if you could ? Like D6, I would want to park where I wanted to if I was paying to use it I used to park ...

Can you at least claim the mileage?

Workers rights are being eroded. It won't be long before the zero hours contract becomes standard. A lot of the rights we enjoy come from European law. The Tories will do all they can to override that and give all the power back to the employers, ...

Ah sweet, at least it's not buggered then!

There's a plan in the offing, I may be able to attend many more Tankslap rideouts before too long. I'm not jinxing it though, I'll 'fess up in a couple of weeks!

If I can point one thing out you need to stop comfort braking though before a corner. A lot of times you only touched the brake, it barely took any speed off, so you know you don't need to do it. You know what? I was thinking that a few times today myself. ...
