... DMC have got that they'll order the parts and then we can book the bike in. No update from the police, the person dealing with it is away until next week. No update from my solicitor so I've had to chase him as well.

... Exactly right, i don't need anything and dont want too much unless it fulfils a purpose these days. People seem to spend their lives wanting the next big thing or measuring themselves against other people, who have likely just bought the new shiny thing on credit and already want the next shiny ...

Happy New Year everyone....no matter how good or bad this year has been, may the next one be better for you.

... amazing how quickly your body gets used to doing a certain range and how quickly my muscles were tiring after the standard 10 reps. Fat % test next week, which I'm not looking forward to.

Yep doing bugger all is sometimes good for (and needed by) the soul. Helps to recharge for the next busy days.

... slot for myself as i often don't quite know where to post things, :| I'll kick off with an old photo I found of my bike at lyme regis, the red one next to that huge jap/american style thingy. https://i.imgur.com/6FJUecb.jpg reminds me of happier days when it was warm and daylight lasted more than ...

Still making dinner for us. Our neighbours next door but one said they were having Xmas and boxing day in the garden and apologised in advance for any noise. They put a 30ft x 30ft marquee up which seemed weird tbh but we ve just seen waiters ...

... I guess I get to start this thread (lol) Hope you all have a great day and enjoy the company of your friends and family, have a drink for me (be next year before I get one!) and enjoy your time off. As always it’s been an enjoyable year chewing the fat with you bunch of blokes and look forward ...

... fish. (as well as some steak, pork and duck) Tools will be put away this afternoon and then its time to gradually empty the fridge over the next week :) It's been a long, lucky and happy year, but we do need a break and turn into vegetables for a few days thats for sure.

... when on hills. In the car I always have the rear mirror dipped, and also wear a pair of those yellow glasses to reduce the brightness and glare. Next time I get my eyes tested in going to ask the optician of there is anything better I can try

The twat who thought he could switch lanes on me because he indicated as he did so, then brake tested me at the next round about. If a getting in trouble with the police didn't cost me my job I would have followed him into the supermarket car park and put all of his windows through ...

Read hutchys was not impressed.
McGuiness was good.
Micheal Dunlop's really enjoyed it
Got Jamie whitham's next

Slightly related, people who can't use their F-ing indicators on a roundabout or navigate around one in a logical way, I very nearly took out a driving school car because it wanted to turn left from the innermost lane (Right only). It was next to me when we set off and I was going straight on

I’ve read Hutchys and was very disappointing. Told me little about the racer.

Got McGuinness book today.

Would like a copy of Dunlop’s next.

... up the road who seems to spend his life revving his cars ups all bloody night... no bloody respect... god only knows what the people think living next door to him. If its not his cars, its some sort of quad which never gets out of 1st.... or some stupid mini pit bike, he and his kids (i assume) ...

Hope you habe better progress than me I bought a black clutch line in the same sale this time last year. Still in my tool box as not had a spare minute this year.

Hopefully I'm not writing the same waffle and excuses this time next year

Just fancied something different. Bought them in the 40% off sale so if I don't like them, then not a lot lost.

Brakes will get a full strip down next week. Proper clean, new pads, new fluid and lines.

... to his shop over in Grantham and there are some excellent roads thereabouts, the old forge cafe in Moneyash does really nice apple cake, the pub next door does good food as well. The airfield cafe at Wellesbourne is a good stopover for tea and cake, the coffee is a bit Knats pee, if you want ...

@Blade.

Next time, just pay the £56 and sit in First Class anyway....when the conductor checks your ticket he should give you the option of going back to sit in Second, or paying some nominal charge to stay in First. £5 or something like that.

Obi-Wan was never 'struck down'.....he disappeared into the "Force-Dimension", or whatever it's called......there was no body, just his monk's habit with his light-saber on top.

Which means he went into the next life totally naked, I suppose
