... giving you tips etc because they saw you have Group 1 on your bike, then when you point out they scribbled through it and put group 3. The look on their face is brilliant

Alton Towers are in court today for sentencing for the crash last year which left a number of people injured, including 2 amputations.

Their turn over is £500m as a group (They're part of the Merlin Entertainment group)

I'm going for £15m

... have a very low premium. Is that with all mods declared ? As far as I know mate. Bennetts have a list of mods that you don't need to declare, and their website is easy enough to declare the other stuff, so my end cans and whatnot are on there.

Don't trust em an inch, put it on ...

... where, just so long as it's not fricking Frankies and Bennies Sunday I'll try and sneak into the gym in the morning before the kids emerge from their bedrooms, then pick wifey up from the airport to see what state the weekend has left her in.

... the way home, which makes it a struggle to see well, despite the sun visor. It also means that drivers are struggling to see and don't want to use their mirrors as much. The M6 was clogged up. With me not being 100% confident I was seeing how close I was to cars and with cars not seeing me it was ...

Expect to see some tit for tat exchanges on the ground.

I see Russia has stopped flying over Turkey since Turkey downed one of their planes.

Seems the world and their dog is producing mid sized adventure style bikes these days.

... if Mercedes Vitos are better than VW Transporters. I don't normally like getting shouty with the front line staff as they can't help the policy their managers make up, but they all had some today.
