Re: What are you doing today ??

... Well actually to be truthful, I have a few most evenings, school holidays or not, that I'm not at work. I don't get pissed, but 2 or 3 gins does take the edge of homework, dinner, baths and bedtime procedures!

Re: Chain and sprockets

... in many sizes too, especially for front sprocket. As for chains, I always use a DID XW-ring chain... by far the best chain I've ever used and they take thousands of miles of abuse plus trackdays in their stride. Typically pay about £120 all in, never paid much more or less

... for either Donington or Mallory, but the first half of that track is so damned fast! If you get the 3 consecutive right handers just right you can take the last one flat in 5th and leave a nice black line - incidentally that's also my memorable moment!

Yes that's not good. Poor bloke think the sizes are wrong!! I tried on a lot to get my size right. I know people are on a budget but it doesn't take a lot to go to a shop and try on the different makes.

Re: Run Flat Tyres

... Bridgestone figure and seems the sensible decision however I have a question. Bridgestone recommend one figure and it's 42 psi. But this doesn't take into account the specific car it's used on. For example the pressure in our 318d recommends 36 psi in the rear for the same tyre our 330d recommends ...

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

Same here. If you take a tyre you've bought yourself in and a loose wheel, there's essentially not much reason in it for them to swap it over for you. A few places might do it if you're a *really* good customer, but most will charge ...
