rumour is they were to busy taking selfies ,not sureif its true.If they sue the zoo they need hanging up

... shout out to Knox gloves. I damaged one of my gloves in my recent little off at Oulton. The glove did its job in the crash perfectly as my hands were fine but the air scoops and boa lace buckle had snapped off. I rang them up and they said to send it in to them and they'd have a look at it. They've ...

... under the bike when you crashed? You're no wobbler Itchy, just look at the complete lack of chicken strips. Must admit those roads in Mac Forrest were pants, I was trying to find a road I'd seen on google maps. Plus I'd agree the Cat and Fiddle desperately needs resurfacing, not that I'd use it ...

Shopping for more physical bike security and a new lid. My garage was broken into yesterday. My dads bike and mine were untouched, I think my flashing red led alarm indicator light and rear disk lock put them off and my dads bike is a Yamaha Divvy 900 which weighs the same as a ...

... would help but maybe a few track days with good instructors would Come to mallory on the 18th,we can all help get your confidence up See, we were discussing track days and road bikes yesterday. I go full on pussy mode on track because I know if I bin it, that's my ride home gone. In fact, ...

... how much confidence you had in the bike and yourself to do it in the first place. Your no wobbler in Buxton and round the peaks you and Monty were off . The corner you came off on is very tight and deceiving I know the road and have been caught out a couple of times.

... used leathers! Alarm bells should have been ringing when I realised about a mile from home that I hadn't done my sodding helmet strap up. If they weren't ringing before, they really should have been when Monty said his spider sense was tingling with all the people that had tried to kill him so ...

Very glad to hear you and bike are ok Itchy

Which road were you on there is some challenging bends in the Peaks and Monty seems to know most of them

... sufficient time (or skill!). So me and the bike head for the grass verge and a massive chuffing rock. I think I hit the rock (I must have as there were scrape marks on it) and flew over the top, onto the grass and down goes the bike. Once I met back up with Rocket and Monty and we pulled in to ...

Anyway, if you've not seen it, like Shawshank it was also taken from Steven King's writings originally & both were directed by Frank Darabont.

I thought all tractors were diesel. Your not the only one the other week a mate had to cancel on me saying his wife's timing belt had snapped. I went down to his house to see if he needed a hand. She came through the door giving him ...

Hope it gets sorted for you guys.

Watching the news there is fuel available and being rationed to 20 euro per transaction so enough for a tank fill up on the bike.

I believe you can get an app telling you were fuel is. Might be worth a Google search. Sorry no more info.

If it were a professional place in the UK that had done it to me, I'd be on it for sure.

Fwiw I keep an old front tyre specifically for resting on when changing tyres etc...

engine out on the open road was a peach ,but in slow stuff it was very snatchy and lumpy,it was comfy and handled well for a big bike.The brakes were amazing (brembo),I thought the suspension was good until I rode my zx10r which would run rings round it handling wise.The gearbox was the worst ...

I was going up to the office in warrington today and there were loads of bikes luggaged up heading north for the ferry A new pantigirdle was riding alongside me and I must admit they are very special looking bikes,they also sound amazing with the standard ...

... when I'm in a sports bike mood. I've had the RC8 for 6 years so there is no guilt there. Thanks to everyone for suggestions whilst the problems were pissing me off. I'll try and photograph the bent disks when i get mo too. (y)

Picked up the new wagon today. Pretty happy with it, but the steering felt a bit weird so once I got home checked the tyre pressures. They were down a bit, but as I was inflating them I spotted a bigger problem. The bloody Tyres were breaking up! They have gone hard and brittle. I'd say some ...
