... get hurt and they keep doing it. Because otherwise they would be unhappy. I’d rather be happy for 25 years than miserable for 90, and who is to say which is right? There is not one rider on the NW200 grid who has not been directly affected by a racing tragedy. There are fathers riding the year ...

Dizzy, suffice to say you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers this evening at this very difficult time.

Are you doing your Godfather impression? Toothache is horrible. You'll soon feel much better. Yes and Yes I hope so, I have to say the dentist was great, considering I really do have a phobia, more than just your "I dont like the dentist hang up" Pretty sore now, but happy its ...

... laughing (I can only presume the laughter was nervous as he predicted his brothers reaction) and it was obvious Micheal was being hostile to say the least and in no way was it said in banter. The BBC Commentator later questioned Micheal Dunlop on his comment and his own reply was something ...

... and it's almost unusable, you can't draw lines that follow roads any more. Just straight lines from point to point which is pretty pointless! Must say I'm really looking forward to this, weather better be good.

I think I would cancel it too. I hate that typee of thing. And when you say you work full time so can't be there, they expect you to take some holiday to receive the delivery. You'd never have an actual holiday if you did that for every delivery or home improvement ...

... kids? They chose to have kids, so they have to manage that, not you. Be tougher, makes sense. You've worked hard to be in your position. I have to say, I don't miss all that crap.

Anyhoo, as you say, back on track... Day 3 of the Insanity Workout this morning. Once we'd finished sweating we went out to get some dog food. Then undid our hard work by stuffing our faces at Pizza Hut. Then tried to undo the sin ...

I don't doubt what they say or their expert opinion but seems weird as the bike won a lot of races.

... because he's being asked to do his job rather than hang around doing **** all and talking football, then was woken up at dinnertime by my wife to say my daughter had been assualted by her boyfriend, again, and was in a police station for her own protection whilst they tracked the twat down, then ...

SHIT. !!!

Other than to say, obviously, hope it's not as bad as it sounds & try to stay strong for the rest of the family mate.

Sounds a top day. IT wasn't me mate so dont feel bad. I was working over, and by the time i finished I was tired and figured I'd probably missed most of the sessions.

I never did take the Kwak on track, I can imagine it is as good as you say.

... to repair (from listening to the engine). So I guess I have a couple of questions -anyone know how I can confirm the diagnosis as opposed to say a noisey cam chain? The second Q is if the big ends gobe what are my options? Engine from scrappers? Anyone done an engine swop? Thx Simon

I don't mean to offend anyone currently tinkering with a bike like I mentioned....... It's just my opinion........

As you say though! Everyone is at it. Junk is really expensive now!

Looks like as you say your only option is to try a different laptop or cable.

Just been and tried some on. Gotta say, seem like you get what you pay for! http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_cat/1421?r=AWS_HELM_GTA&gclid=CN-Xgbj7rb4CFcLItAodUgUAOA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return ...

OK I'll through my lid into the ring...see what I did there [emoji38] Having tried numerous lids over the years it is as everyone says down to personal choice and perception I'd say. I love Arai yet don't get on with Shoei. Suberth weren't that quiet nor Shark. Yet my HJC RPHA-10plus is ...

... were checked again at 24k and didn't need any. Up to 40k now so I probably won't bother again. If you're certain they've never been checked I'd say do it anyway. Also might be worth getting the throttle bodies balanced if you haven't already.

Well good luck with getting it sorted mate, think I might be away that weekend, if not I'll see if I can get down and say hello
