I assume it's same/similar to hp2 sport. God I'd love one of those

I like the book of it. Not sure about where the engine is but otherwise it's got a lot of style.

... your bike to said field and the family went in the car you would have an escape plan if things got to hectic haha. Mine are a little older and where were going is purely for families so will be well catered for. I plan to play with the kids all day. Play with the missus all night and any spare ...

Your definitely not slow Itchy, especially when you consider we where on roads you've not even seen before. Plus probably some of the trickiest in the country; off cambers, tightening bends, 100 foot drops to name but a few.

... by a long shot, but that's okay. I've made my peace with not being able to hang with the big boys. The important thing is that I can recognise where I can improve without pushing myself on the day. That's probably why I don't talk much at these meets. I like to let things sink in. I'm a reflector!

Mugello is where Rossi used to excel. If he is going to beat him fair and square anywhere it might be here.

LOL, you muppet.!

Happens to us all at some time mate. Did you do the old "desperately trying to prevent the inevitable" as it went beyond the point of no return, or was it one of those where it was down before you even realised it.?

Not a very lucky petrol station for you, is it .!

seeing the rear lock up, snake then smoke did look impressive from where I was

Blimey .... where did you go last night, or cant you remember ?

... and not drink as much as them etc and then they moan and and get jealous when we go away on nice holidays...some people don't sseem to understand where our priorities lie. Get away and enjoy searching New areas and talking to different people. Really have a brilliant holiday :-)

Different. It's very green. I need to see it in the flesh. Where's your tankslap decals? (devil) I do like those cans and the tailtidy was a must When you see it, see if you can see the mistake I made. (facepalm) The Tankslap decals are hiding in my house ...

... good friend I used to co-own a boat with, we sailed for 15yrs together and he had regular massive back pain during that time, it got to the point where he couldn't live with the pain any more and had 3 vertebrae fused, he lost nearly an inch in height and had less flexibility as Cookie mentioned, ...

I'm 20kg lighter.

I think it depends where I so them. At the gym it's arms and back but at home it's abs. I think because I use a doorframe bar I have to fold my legs to get them off the floor, so I must be using my core to stop my legs from swinging.

... its virtual impossible to get decent digs. I really want to go and all the family are well up for it but were not camping types and want some where nice with some private space and parking as it is a holiday after all. At this rate I don't think we will be going.

Good point Phil and no idea to be honest, I'll give them a call.

In other news got my pass stamped until lunch, which I read as I can go out on the bike for lunch and then ride back. (from where ever we end up having lunch)

Picked it up from the bro-in-laws, left it in his garage while we where on holiday.

Got it wet and muddy on the way home.

Washed and waxed it, degreased and cleaned the chain and rear sprocket then put it back in the shed. Just in time too as is pissed it down with rain again.

... 20 years, but for me it just doesn't feel right without a touch screen. I actually found myself trying to press buttons on the screen and that's where it falls down as a desktop OS. Maybe if I could have been arsed to learn the keyboard short cuts I would have got on with it better.
