I really wish we could go back to traditional Sundays where everything was shut and the roads were empty
I hate the shops being open,its all to American and commercial for me

... for years before her and yet she got a better deal!! I don't tend to go with companies I hear of I go to price and what I get out of it. Eg MCE were great on both times I bikes got nicked they didn't let me down at all either time. And settled up in the time they stated they had to wait.

Roads were pretty good until the last couple of miles. I made it into work in a really good time, which is kind of crap as I'm in no rush to get here

Not sure when mines due but I'm not using mce again they were feckin useless and charged me a small fortune for a mid term change Last time mce were significantly the cheapest for me and they also included helmet and leathers and breakdown cover for ...

Adrian Flux were good for my car insurance Duke. I added flexdrive for £20 and I'm now fully comp on ANY car up to £30k damage.

Have to say they were pretty good when i made a claim last year

Bewiser are fooking useless, seriously they shouldn't even be in the insurance market. Even if they were 10 pence a year I wouldn't use them. The guy doesn't even recognise Thatcham Category 1 which is an industry recognised standard, Doesn't know what an end can is, things ...

I'd be wary for a few days if I were you. Make sure its locked up every night etc. That sounds well dodgy. He may have been thinking of half hinching it and then you returned, so used the i'll buy it off you as an excuse for taking a look. ...

... every parent evening :) Perks, on face value they do get a lot of holidays, but I boarded with a family for a year when I was 15, and both parents were teachers at my school. I can tell you in my experience, they aren't on "holiday" during the majority of school holidays, they are just ...

I have used the SBS RS on my old Blade and was happy with them. I know you rate the Bendix MRR but from memory I think you said the mileage wasnt great. Correct me if I got that wrong.

Not me. The pads in the zx6r were fitted in June 2014

It is Mackenzie , it was Mallory , they were his sons leathers - he's riding superstock for Buildbase this year ( Taz not Niall)

I think they are ok but haven't had it on track to really test them,they are nowhere near as good as the brembos on my old rc8.They were stunning brakes even with standard pads fluid and lines

Probably, very true. In general.

I suspect that a lot of our generation (ie, the one with kids now of school age) compare and contrast to when we were at school. Human nature.

I was warned off DID a few years ago, but by all accounts they took on board the criticism and they're not back to being high quality

The issue I'm told is that they were failing in races due to the change in quality of the chains.

I got told DID used to be the best when they were made in the DID factory in Japan but since they subcontracted the manufacturing out the quality had dropped off.

Not sure how true just what I heard.

He quoted me less but didn't realise there were going to be so many valves needing adjusting so I asked him how much it actually cost and paid that. I assume he replaced some and swapped others over. He does get shims cheap though, he worked on ...

... valve (reed valve??), oil filter and air filter myself in a couple of hours. Wasn't at a main dealer but still got a stamp. 16 out of 16 valves were out of tolerance (I got it done 1000 miles earlier than schedule too (25,600miles)

I'd give the bike a miss tomorrow if I were you. The pain's made you forget which side the gear lever is on!

... saving performance mod. I am disappointed in you. Reckon I may have saved a few kilos clearing flies out of the airbox. Can't believe how many were in there as only cleaned it about 1000miles ago. The central ram air scoop must be like some kind of industrial grade Dyson fly sucking machine :?
