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

Just bought some bar end mirrors of fleabay ( cheap ) for the 999 to see how they look/work, I was out for a short ride yesterday and its quite strange not being able to see what's behind, like a copper for instance (sweat) I don't mind not having lights etc but mirrors I do miss.

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 ...

The only thing that's stopping me is the question of whether I should do it now, or wait until it's being serviced and get the garage to do it while it's there. Which then raises the question of whether I should get it serviced now, or next year (it's ...

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

Very foggy ride into work. I couldn't believe how many cars were driving without any lights on, despite visibility being down to 100m in some places.

On the plus side my brake light is working again. Clearly something is loose or a wire is breaking.

... that postcode a lot of cars have been stolen from a garage. Old cars are statistically more likely to be involved in a crash so new cars, despite being much more expensive, are less likely to be involved in an accident so are usually cheaper to insure.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?

I do wonder how the insurance system works and I've been involved with it for the last 15 years.

Replacement parts and the prospect of being written off are said to be two key factors for the new Ducatis. By all accounts they don't crash very well.

Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review

The SX did me proud. Seeing as I've only really being using it for work I got to grips using it more as a sports bike ( which I acknowledge its not). The suspension is soft and the brakes showed their limitations when you're getting a move on, but ...
