My dad foind an old pic a few years back, believe it was just before my CBT so around 4 and half year back. From that he made a list of all the bikes he managed to own and cars and the reasons he got rid of them! I was stunned how many he's ...

... a short tight knitted dress and boots with heels made me want to go there too. If he gets there he'd love Sheffield. Our eldest went there for 3 years and graduated this year. We've been there and stayed a few times over that time and it's a great city. I wish I'd lived there for a while, really ...

They are brilliant, I lost one and didn't have a spare when I was at the NEC one year, so bought some of the cheapies from a stand, I rode home with them and my head was ringing afterwards, I was also a lot more tired than I usually am, they're worth the money imho.

... where he is but he still has a away to go if he wants to go to Uni there. However without some amazing support form some of his teachers over the years even this would not have been possible. Their entrance requirement is ABB for his A levels and he isn't at that level yet. He has a year to go ...

Is that you find stuff you forgot about. Found a couple of pics of my first ever bike and a young 17 year old me.

... in the exhausts and not having a reflector on the back, it passed without a single advisory. I suppose I should hope for nothing less on a 3 year old bike with less than 6000 miles on it! Also rode home trying out the Howard Leight ear plugs. My god, what a difference to those 2 quid a pair ...

... started presenting a trophy to the student who accumulates the most points in the fortnight. The first week a boy won it with 2750 points. My 6 year old daughter thought "I want to win that" and for the full fortnight she just smashed it, doing modules instead of watching TV before ...

... of exhaust, thermal covering to the underside of the seat and possibly also a remap will reduce it dramatically. Also read today that fitting this year's bike head bearings changes the rake to the same as the 2015 bikes. I'm very undecided about what to do next year at the moment.

They have done well last couple of years in the pb tyre review.

I normally get around 2000 miles although my current set have had a very easy life and done 3200 miles. Tbh I've bought 4 sets this year as needed to replace 4 sets but not used them all as both the sp and ten have new tyres just installed which will last me the start of next year as well. ...

Bloody hell blade, the most I've ever managed is two rears in one year. They where Dunlop qualifiers on the d6, and that was full ham fisted riding like I stole it miles.

How many miles you getting out of a year?

That's an absolute steal

I need another set of tyres again

This will be my 4th set this year. Not kept a tally but must be nearly the thick of a grand on rubber this year alone

... but I saw the aftermath of war in Iraq in 2006 and fought against the Taliban in 2007 alongside the Afghan Army that I helped train. Seeing that 5 year old Syrian boy face down in the sea yesterday made me think about what I'd do if I were in that situation, I have a 5 year old boy too. I feel ...

Have fun tomorrow all and stay safe. Really wish i could have been there too. I've not had one single full day out on the bike in the UK this year. :( Sounds like you need to come Duke. Could be the last full day out of the year with the way the weather has been. Can we not twist your arm ??? ...

Ducati paint on their earlier bikes is the best of any manufacturer from that era, a fact confirmed to me by Mike at MES.

My 748 still polishes up a treat after 16 years.
