... "this bloke stank of beer and Balti, even on the track, so I had to get ahead of him" I still to this day don't know how we rode all the way home after that weekend

it's a shame Honda were late to the party. A 3 way season long battle with Lorenzo, Rossi and Marquez would have made it a remarkable year.

Zarco is a deserving champion but not the way he would have wanted to clinch the title I'm sure.

... came out. I took one for a test ride. The dealer was amazed I didn't want one. When I told him I had spent time and money getting my 600 just the way I wanted it, the 675 didn't do enough for me to want to change it. Some people want stuff just because it's the latest thing.

... they seem sensible and clear to me Has an UK prices been confirmed Perks ? I could only find US prices and maybe the SE is a US model only. Either way at $299 premium for the SE model I m not expecting a lot TBH.

... features. I have no idea how the shock and the ECU talk to each other or if the new electronic aids on the 2016 model will have any impact on the way in which a semi-active shock would react and interplay with the bike's management system. Would be a backwards step to not allow the semi active ...

That's concentration. You watch carefully and all those kids were getting their groove on in their own way. That was amazing. My boy is only a couple of years younger and I can't get him to concentrate on anything for more than 2 mins!

I would ban all petrol and diesel vehicles from City centres if i had my way.

It would be pointless many people owning them then and reduce the traffic on the roads and increase the use of public transport.

... into the bigger stores. This is a shame personally inthink what makes a Arai better than an NEXX lid...money is the simple answer. Seems to be the way of the world, money makes money, if you don't have it then you have no hope! But I guess there's got to be winners and loosers in this world...more ...

I remind you they were capable of electing Ronald Reagan and that idiot Bush :( I liked Bush, I thought he was a very good President in his own way....remember how he was lambasted for his lack of reaction in a grade-school classroom when he was informed of the attacks on the WTC etc.....what ...

Just hand an email right now saying 2015 zx10r is available discounted to £10299 on the road.

Lot of bike for the money and guess dealers are making way for new stock already. Not even an hour has passed since the offical launch of the 2016 bike and £2000 of the current model straight away.

It looks like the new Ten will be unveiled in Barcelona. A couple of UK journos have tweeted that they're on their way to see it.

They've taken Georgia and The Crimea. Syria draws a nice line. This looks like the way modern Russia takes countries, knowing that no one is going to retaliate.

Hit the nail on the head for me. When I clean my bike, its that way for maybe 2 days before being covered in crud again. And especially in winter when you come home freezing and wet and its dark, then cleaning the bike is the last thing on my mind. I am ...

... a shit if there sponge is clean or not and have never heard of the two bucket method. Part of bike ownership for me is taking care of it. That way I not only feel proud of my bike and it's condition but also know it is maintain to perfection with no hidden faults developing un noticed in the ...

... buy a bag and say to the cashier...can I have a bag for that!! What the feck goes on in these people's minds. I will only take one if needed and always recycle them but these people are bloody addicted to the things i swear. Why do we need them? Every bloody supermarket sells the bag for life and ...

RIP to those people. Sad to hear anyone loosing their lives in such a way. As for the quads, I think they are alright for off road but can't stand them on the road. During the summer you see the pikeys using them, vest, jeans trainers with a pillion racing ...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent valet near me (South Brum way)

I know there's the one in Newbury but I don't really fancy the 1.5 hour ride to watch someone for 3 hours wash my bike then the 1.5 hour ride back.

... say go for the pani... BUT....... Owning a bike like the 748 is not about the latest and greatest, it's about the passion and enjoyment. The same way I love the RSV, the same way blade loves the SP2. It only really matters to us. If you can get the engine, I'd say go for it and get the pani later.
