... Not sure the exact speed i got up to but was over 140mph. Didn't really fancy looking down at the dials with the armco right next to me. We were not allowed to take any photos all day and phone cameras were stickered over. This gives you an idea of the place. Great experience. [video]https://youtu.be/C5qWOwmypeA?t=3m30s[/video]

Sounds amazing Duke, were you at the wheel or along for the (white knuckle) ride. ??

... to take one out for a test ride, was down at Bulldog this morning before a little blip to Marlborough. Man the bike is small and heavy, my legs were up around my ears, and I am not exactly one of the tallest on here!! I had the accessory seat which I think is thinner and the seat was at its ...

... times but nothing major, mainly dry and a lot of fun. Also checked the tyre pressures as things did not feel right, foot pump gauge said pressures were ok, new gauge said the rear was 20 psi....... doh! I knew something was wrong :( won't rely on pump anymore....

... an Army recruitment stand with a climbing wall. I'd never even seen one before. When no one was watching I nipped up it, piece of cake.! :) They were f'kin furious.!!! :( To be fair, I'd never even seen a safety harness, let alone worn one. (giggle) Although I think it was the shock of a skinny ...

... seen him commit to something so well. He was pretty proud (as was I) when he got it and it was a good lesson for him on perseverance. Once they were all knackered I had a go. Haven't climbed in over 15 yrs, and even then it wasn't a regular thing. Did a few easier runs to warm up and then after ...

... or clumsiness as well. But he is on the spectrum. I'm not sure what to say without repeating what I've already written in the past?? I know you were having a laugh with the 'stupid bike' comment D, and I was too with the reference to my son. But the inability for some people to accept responsibility ...

Those look good. I'd stick with those stock heelplates if it were me....but then again I'm just not as enamoured with carbon stuff as I used to be.

Were you like this afterwards?

That's true for a lot of places. There were two brand new estates being built near Redditch, at the same time. They were identical in every way apart from their location. One was close to an old council estate, the other was further out and ...

Back and shoulders last night. Sadly it seemed to be back night for everyone. I had to wait ages for a bar and the weights were hard to find and those not being used were spread out all over the place. When I did get a bar I was struggling with my deadlifts. I don't think my head was ...

... committed now that i know it's more money but at least you wont waste much more and then you have a house? Shitty news though - especially as you were running to the builders deadlines and now they are cocking about ;(

I said I liked the look of them when they were first released, so I'm pretty dam jealous of your road test TB.
It doesn't look like it would take much lean to be dragging those pegs/silencers.

Just been to get it remapped ready for the weekend. I had a bit of a wait because the techs were on lunch so I asked to go for a crack on the Bobber test bike they have in Stratford. I bloody loved it. It handles a lot better than it looks and the power is really good, ...

... soon as Tesco said they would spend some money doing up the area around the store. They did the same for many years to Meteor Ford in Moseley - we were getting a swanky new doctors surgery, parking and a small tesco there too. Did it happen? Did it hell. I suppose you can only hope it becomes residential ...

... are cleared by the council (this includes road alteration). They are hoping that permission will be finalised by early March. Councillors who were present did not comment on this proposed date. Tesco representatives gave a brief presentation which was followed by a 1 hour 15 minute question ...

Arms today.

Went during the afternoon and the gym was rammed, I was having trouble getting the equipment/benches I wanted so I cut it short.

Which, given that my arms were already on fire from the high reps thing, was probably a good thing.

Legs tomorrow, shits about to get real!

... contacts as he can. You always hope your kids make the right decisions in life and so far he is on the right track. He even mentioned that Dorna were looking for English youngsters to go and work in Barcelona and whilst its too early for him now, I'm glad he is looking more at enjoying life and ...

... was probably a pretty shrewd move on his part. I'm fairly numb about the whole thing to be honest....I already went "through it" as-it-were.
