If you don't mind me asking, howcome you're going for a brand new bike? You could get a 1 year old for £2k less I'm not necessarily, just looking at all the options. Can't afford a nearly new bike, as I've only got 5k to spend but the 0% finance on a new bike from Kawasaki ...

... rear shock anyway and will be set up by Darren at MCT If you don't mind me asking, howcome you're going for a brand new bike? You could get a 1 year old for £2k less

Diet starts tomorrow. Sure sure! The missus made Cottage Pie tonight. Between 3 of us (because the boy is going through a 3 year phase of only eating chicken nuggets!) We'll usually get through about 2/3rds of it. The girls had their normal portions, and I finished the lot. I feel fat ...

Did some gardening yesterday, seems to be the best time of year to totally destroy the garden, but stand a chance of it being usable by summer.

Finished off seeding some new lawn area today. Then kids party this afternoon, now drinking wine to recover...

Interesting they had him out on last years bike rather than testing this years. Now they have changed it so he rides against the team riders. Sounds like they are interested in benchmarking him against the current crop. I'll be very surprised if he doesn't do a GP race sometime through the year.

My 6 year old son playing Splatoon on the Wii U.

He's playing Multiplayer and although he's doing alright for a 6 year old, it's toe-curlingly irritating watching him.

He's such a noob!

So today was the day!! After a year and a bit of training I had it. I arranged it a few weeks back about a week after my cross check and when I applied it took all of 2 days before an examiner got in touch to arrange the test! I was gobsmacked ...

... even many die hard ducati fans admitted it and sold them on ,it will be good to see JB in WSB but I wish it would have been the R1 given he had a years development on it.At least he could have given the kwaks a run for their money but I cant see anything coming close to them this year I rode with ...

... only bike to have an issue, however. Josh Brookes seemed to have little trouble spanking Shakey Byrne's ZX arse all over the track with his last year. ;) its a total recall ,the engine cases have to be split to fix it which I personally wouldnt trust a main dealer to do. The new ZX10r will win ...

Oh, shit. I didn't know that.

I have TWO policies with them, too. Oh well. Next year...

Haha definitely decided to clean it in the wrong half of the year!!

Whilst i don't like the idea of a £9k+ per year as a debt for him to start his working life, it is ultimately just another way of taxing people. If you don't work or earn enough, you don't pay it back.

... bum off while at uni, he had a full time apprenticeship in the field he wanted which helped so much and now pulls in a obscene amount of money a year. Paid off a mortage inside a matter of a few years starting with only 5K deposit! The pluses can outweigh the minuses if you pick the right course, ...

I test rode something like that a year or so so for a giggle. Felt like the front wheel was in another county, but the hero blobs where a very different shape when I gave it back (devil) http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160126/708d6a8f1f1caa4e22772f4c57585e24.jpg ...

£9,000 a year though. So you leave university with at least £27,000 debt before you start working.

... found my long term lid for this bike, like Kwacky's recent one it's an open face Arai but the one I want won't be available until later in the year. So what I really want is a cheap tide-me-over. I wasn't really wanting to look like a stormtrooper necessarily, it was just a thought. But I also ...

I hope i might be able to make that this year.

My ER6 did 16k before I changed them. The R1 was done at 9,500 (but it was 5.5 years old at the time). I think the VFR800 was at about 13.5 when it was done. And the Varadero had one last year at 17.5. I wasn't aware that there was any hard and fast rules, tbh. ...
