Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

... to hear. You see some nice bikes on tracks these days. You see a few R1M's and the odd Panigale R or Desmo and if someone wiped one of those out being a dick then blood needs to be spilt (devil)

Re: OIL CHANGE FREQUENCY

In the spirit of being a good lad I've got another mod to install for you Cookie mate.

She's getting an underslung brembo rear brake. Got the bits just need to do a trial fit and then get a custom hose made up locally. Fingers crossed there are no clearance issues and it's an easy mod.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

You can sue the rider but he'll have no insurance so you'll be hoping he's got the funds to pay.

You could try to sue the organiser but you'll have to show that the organiser didn't take sufficient steps and that they knew the rider was being a dick (that's a technical legal terms for twat).

OIL CHANGE FREQUENCY

... miles based on a time interval ? Would bi-annual oil changes seem more sensible ? I can still do all the other annual checks just wondering if I'm being silly throwing 4 litres of full synthetic into the sump every 500 miles. Oil quality degrades with use not time. For info the bikes a keeper so ...

Re: What do you want to vent about today?

Yes I think manners and politeness are being lost in todays selfish society.

I always make an effort to be polite and courteous to other people and quite often people looked shocked when you behave like this, which is just wrong.

Treat others how you wish to be treated yourself is how I see it.

Crap news Kiwi but sounds a better system than ours. Being positive for a very small excess of speed it's not too bad imo, in the UK that would have been 3 points.

... in MotoGP so you actually have race tyres that work for the club racer or fast trackdayer, if you don't you're wasting your time, money and effort being in MotoGP as you can't sell off the back of it. Michelin used to do half decent race tyres, but as Blade says most riders have moved to other ...

Re: Wales ride 24/25th Sept

The Metzler site lists the K3, the Racetec and the M7rr as suitable for your bike. It does flag the first two as being crap in the wet.

Like you say, it depends on what you're doing with the bike. I wouldn't want to try the Z8s on the track.

Being told I've just paid £185 for some bloody Olly Murs tickets (gah) (swear)

Re: Grammar schools

There is a difference between learning your craft and starting from the bottom up and having the piss taken to extract more profit for the owners.

Being told you salary is for a 40 hour week but you will have to work additional hours for no pay is abusing employment laws.

Re: Grammar schools

... What got to me was the level of prep the parents had put their kids through. When I did the 11+ you turned up and did the exam. Some kids now are being trained from as young as 6 how to pass the exam. Surely the point of grammar schools is to help the naturally intelligent to get a better level ...
