That's pretty funny all said and done. I still think the UK has a pretty good position overall in the EU. And I don't see that if it were to leave that the ill-effects would be as disastrous as the naysayers predict....they're merely pushing their own ideology, and I think that's fine....freedom ...

... equality, anti discrimination, etc. Those things are only any good if you have a job , aren't equality and anti discrimination the same thing ? we were a signator on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 long before we joined the EU , we also had laws governing severance pay / redundancy ...

They were over subscribed this year, they managed to take extra bikes in the back of 2 vans.

... this worries me that all the good spots will be designated "Fan Zones" or some such and they will charge to view from there , there were fan zones this year 3 or 4 I think but you only had to pay if you sat in the grandstands they had erected there , I fear they will charge for parking ...

... opal fruits.. The squitters, I'm not popular in the house right now... I believe that ^^ is referred to as cause & effect. ;) If only it were that simple, it wasn't a single date tour, there were repeat performances during the previous evening and all during the day - pre-risotto. Tbh ...

... that much is true, but I don't see him as being conniving in any sort of way....just speaks his mind in an honest manner. I rather there were more people like him, frankly.

Dont get the cold protect GTX. They were good when I first got them but under two years later my hands got soaked through and 2 days later they still aren't dry.

My trusty old Alpinestars were finally laid to rest yesterday after several years of faithful service.

Any recommendations for replacements?

bloody immigrants! Everyone should have to go back to the country they were born in........ oh hang on

... bow it's really got me thinking haha Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk That test done on the apps I linked to in the earlier thread said they were all pretty inaccurate except for the one app, but as Cav said the limiting factor is the capability of your phone mic.

I wasn't aware of that, the guys who praised it were all riding 1000s

Sat and watched mini gee playing cricket this morning, his team won with him taking the last two wickets of the game - to say we were chuffed would be a massive understatement! I was a very proud Dad indeed. 8) Mrs Gee did us a lovely meal at lunchtime and mid afternoon we strolled over ...

The P4's were on the 998's as well i think there pretty cheap second hand and are a good upgrade i did this on my 996. The motor sounds good and the 853 was plenty quick enough according to Neil.

Loads of cards were handed out. I even left one on Leon Haslam's bike.

... 58 torques. I would need to add a slipper clutch and might fit some Brembo P4 calipers as they can be bought fairly cheaply but i think theses were fitted to R models of that era so will give a bit more braking power. Would also need to change the fairing as the current one is pretty much mint ...
