... 'Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying. At a Crimbo dinner a few years back, we were talking about books that had made a big impression on us; one of my Sisters was an Arthur C Clarke, at which my Maj (ret'd) FiL said "He came ...

Good. You were on my sh*tlist for a moment there.

Were I live we don't have specific bike spots unless you go right into the CBD. I've had more than once car drivers yell at me for 'taking up a whole car spot with your bike'. It's a fact of life we are a minority and unless ...

You'd definitely know you were doing 149 on a Suzuki 1100

He wasn't helping himself as the bike had been stood for years. I know i wouldn't do that on a bike i wasn't sure of! (and then only on a test track )

100% agree Deegee. We shouldn't have gone with hindsight but he was so excited and his friends were going so I took the gamble as it was only spitting when we left home. Half way through I could see the pain on his face although he did dig deep and still made an effort ...

... re Gerbings gloves, I've worn a pair in horrendous riding conditions - a 13hr stint in pouring rain and blowing a hooley (675.cc fest), the gloves were steaming every time we stopped, but despite being wet through when I got home my hands were toasty warm. Try them once and you'll never go back.

... is no valid mitigation, in my eyes quite the opposite. Only a £355 fine too.! That's only £25 per offence, fwiw I'd be calling that a win if it were me.. (smirk)

Gerbings gloves are water proof. The pair my dad has got wet on the inside after his jacket leaked and they were still keeping his hands warm. There was steam coming off his hands when he took the gloves off. Lubed my sidestand pivot because it was sticking and copper greased ...

Morning The bike is 12 years old and there's no telling how old the seals were before there were fitted. If it were me I would go with OEM, I don't think they're that expensive. If you're going to do the job yourself you can get some good packages which include ...

... obsession of keeping the old girl gleaming. I changed the Brake lines for some snazzy HEL ones, my first thought was the wet spots on the floor were from maybe not nipping up the banjo bots etc....but to...follow the slick upwards and sure as hell both sides have sprung a leak ???? Where is ...

... best and we want it to be the best even if we don't use it! Although lots of people agree against MCE but I had 2 bikes nicked and both times they were superb. I suppose with all insurances we can get the sh*t end or the great end, we don't know until we use them I guess!!

... on the M25 (private road, down south) when both my mirrors lit up flashing blue! Looked down at the clock to see 130 and was fairly certain they were for me!

... was I? Oh yes, fervently perving in the squat rack. Which probably didn't help me as I tried to do 3 sets of 5 squats at 97.5kg. First 2 sets were OK, but my form started to waver and on set 3, rep 3, there was just too much instability so I decided not to try and push the last couple. Don't ...

... a warning up 2 days ago on the dash to say a bulb had gone. Cars are that clever these days it even told me which bulb needed replacing and BMW were kind enough to supply it free of charge when I called in the other day prior to the MOT. I'm pretty impressed on all accounts tbh.

... grip pads for the 999 tank, and a pair of Supercorsa's for the 999 in readiness for Almeria, which is still quite a way off but I thought they were a good price, £213 delivered.
