Fitted the battery and tested out the new R&R. Worked beautifully. The real test will come tomorrow though. Plus did a oil change. Didn't bother with a filter as only done a couple thousand miles on the previous one. Least it just freshens part of it up

No wait, I think I have the handroids. Similar glove though, both review very well.

... Mine has been dented by a pothole. Mike has bashed it out and it's reasonably straight but for piece of mind I would prefer to swap it. No rush though.

Doesn't look as bad for Rutland though.

It'd better not chuck it down, I just washed and polished the bike!

... I think Duke was unlucky They changed the spec of the engine bearings on 2008-on motors. I tried contacting Aprilia Italy direct at one point and though they seemed to want to help, they had no idea what was going on. Had i not contacted the head of Piaggio UK direct, i suspect the bike would ...

Read on RSVR and there are loads. I guess Duke was just unlucky with his, not then helped by bad dealer backup.

I do spend a fair bit on her to keep her in tip top form though.

... yately series was just a "turn up after work and run" kind of thing. I've been lucky injury wise. One of the coaches did at this to me though, and it's oh so very true. "Runners only have 3 conditions, running personal bests, injured, or recovering"

... the way these rules have been abused by people in the public sector selling their services back to the government. Its a very hefty tax increase though on those who genuinely run their own small business. Also i suspect some of this is to pave the way to do away with separate tax and NIC rates ...

Be well up for this as looked into this myself already. However is this speedway still going ahead and when? I'm kinda having to get wedding done and dusted first though £££

Because green is the only colour for a Kawasaki

Good choice of bike though, I m sure you will love it

2008 or later. It's a pity though, that they have such a limited colour range. Why on earth did they stop doing their bikes in blue?

I do quite like the extra shin armour a 'full' boot has though?

... I see the car driver check his mirrors. He and I indicate to the right at the same time. Nothing wrong with that. What is happening behind me though is something else. Me and the car driver have seen the cyclist in good time. However, the tw-t on the old red Honda thinks he's going to hammer ...

... know I tend to stick to posted areas because it's there for a reason. He is just flaunting him being a prick. Yesterday I had 4 LEARNER riders who thought they were bad arse riders in a 30mph zone. I clocked them way down the road and realised very quickly that they were maxing their little machines ...

... up front was doing it....:) We had a break and I said how about a ride on the bike they had up at the base camp an rm 250, he said yes, I thought he was joking, but they let me take it down to the track... holy crap that was miles better than the other ones I had a blast. Almost flipped ...

... you notified your GAP Insurers? If not I would do that ASAP. My GAP insurers didn't pay out. They said I had to take the replacement bike, even though I didn't know if I could ever ride a bike again.

... to pick up a part for my sisters bike and was having a nose around at the Suzukis and Yammys but nothing took my fancy. I do like z1000sx's though.....

I think the Germans need some basic art lessons on using colours that compliment each other. I thought black went with everything? :D I see what you mean though Duke, it does look just a bit off. But I'm glad they got rid of the 'gills' on the side fairings, never took ...

Ha-ha. Imagine trying to insure it

I believe even though the website only goes live on 13 the July they have already sold 72 and 12 of them were at goodwood festival of speed where it had a public appearance.
