... and the spectator infrastructure is so poor at Donny, it's got fantastic topography, is in the middle of the U.K. and is close to the M1, with the right investment it could easily be the best track in the UK. Brands is fun and challenging to ride, but it's so over subscribed by bikers in the SE, ...

I'd stick with the old one and ride accordingly. I've run SC01 and SC02s over winters and in the wet and always been surprised how good they were.

You'll know straight away if it doesn't feel right, just back off

On my way to Mike's. Bike seems fine. About 20 miles into the ride there's a rattle from the front right, by the side of the tank. Bike starts to lose power than dies. I started it as I was rolling along and it did the same thing so I coasted to a stop. The bike does start ...

... I was doing but I wouldn't answer which made him very angry.I don't think the radar gun could have been working properly,anyhow he read me my rights told me I was going to lose my licence .I ended getting 3 fixed points but it did shit me up a little. I've always been to keep my gob shut and ...

... a bit pissed off with his colleague. The driver told me he had come out of the services, saw me riding in the middle lane and pass 3 cars to my right, which is true. He also reckoned he had to do over 120mph to catch me up. He went on to say that the video equipment wasn't working (which I doubted ...

It was last night so I was on the way home. I think you're right about the attitude. I'm always polite with them, no point winding up someone who could be the bigger arsehole and throw the book at you. I could have been done for the plate if he wanted ...

... are like that sometimes it comes as a mistake but the father won't just wall away from the mother of their kid and maybe he wants to do what's right for them both so he works all hours of the day to provide.

... the main road is short. The bloke in the left lane isn't moving, so I twist the wrist, sail past him on his left and pass a car going slow in the right lane. I'm doing a good speed but I back off as the traffic queues for the motorway can be a mile long there and you can't see it due to the bend. ...

DeeGee got the right answer. The guy was fitting a new chain.

Is there anywhere to park nearby?

Or am I right in thinking it's a free for all everywhere in Matlock? Never been before.

People not knowing where they're going. A road I use has 3 lanes as you come up to a roundabout. Lane1 is for left. Lane 2 is for left or right. Lane 3 is for the right turn. It's clearly marked and you've got loads of time and room to get into the correct lane. Dickhead in a black BMW decides ...

... is the main manufacturer doing that....or the only one, IIRC. I know that I tried one and it fit like crap even though the size should have been 'right'.....it was an 'Asian' lid...designed for someone of Asian descent (obviously!)...more of an issue when buying here....there's a tag somewhere ...

I don't think that's possible

The one on the left is my new HJC. The one on the right is the new Nolan.

... bare wire or insulated thickness? I'm reasonably apt at wiring stuff but bugger all knowledge on specs and such, so if someone can steer me in the right direction would be most appreciated (y)

... not a MOD it's a necessity (lol) Hey Blade, i trust your judgement (well more than Monty anyhow :D ) as in the past with the CBR you steered me right. I've got an opportunity to sort that now before it gets delivered, so should i do it? Saying that its a simple job to do and i've all the tools ...

Similar. I was on an empty motorway yesterday and a black Mercedes is in the fast lane (headbang) (blush) Was it a Vito, on a long right hand bend of an empty motorway.??? http://www.675.cc/675/styles/default/xenforo/smiliesv1/whistling.gif Me thinks St Marks knows exactly who was driving ...
