... energy and am back from my local hospital. :^ That leg is looking very swollen Rob, I assume your bike is similarly afflicted,? ;( I was already getting quite jittery about my upcoming first ever visit to Snetterton for the 675.cc forum trackday (especially because it also appears that our senior ...

I'm retiring my one piece this year and getting a new one. It's at least 12 years old, propbably older. It's done me proud.

Yeah I'm with you on that Blade does my head in. I'm also getting several automated calls a day to my mobile, which is doing my head in even more. The phone signal is crap in my house so I normally leave my phone on the top floor so I don't know who is ...

... refusing, I suspect that if a method of writing and implementing this that was 99.9999% abuse proof could be devised we might have a real shot at getting this onto the Statute book, the problem appears to be that at present no one wants to step up and say "Yes" and have the finger pointed ...

I think one of the reasons why this isn't happening is because they see it as it could be open to abuse. Getting rid of a sick relative who has become a burden rather than good palliative care. My fear will always be that after a diagnosis of a terminal illness I will lose ...

... you two rock, talking of which, we'll be seeing you there (Rockingham) in a few weeks time...I call BBQ again! To Andy B, gratitude much for getting the team into our local rag, The Bury Times and for the endless supply of top whack shots. And finally, to everyone who came to support us, ...

... this evening and our babysitter has just cried off and left us in the lurch, even though they've been sick all day and didn't have a hope of getting here, sometimes you wonder how people stumble through life on their own. |(

... promises to be a great crowd 8) This will follow on nicely from our appearance at Triumph Live on the Saturday, making this a great weekend for getting the tankslap logo's shown off, without the pressure of a race weekend 8)

... as it was illegible, looked like a child had written it. So be very careful on a solo motorbike, if they ban you on the spot you've got no way of getting your bike back. I generally avoid driving in France for that reason alone.

... mega bucks on him. Liverpool must be quaking and will try and offload him . No good being a start player if he's not allowed near a pitch after getting banned each time he plays.

... the one going down, I'm confident I can protect my family if the need arises and he knows that, (y) Good attitude Stew. It's all well & good getting worked up by this "gent" (TDR speak), but if you took the Binno approach your family will only suffer even more. ... there's only ...

It isn't so much about getting the power to the tarmac, Andy, as what warp speed you will be travelling at in a few seconds and the fact its keeps on pulling and pulling and doesn't run out of pull. I suspect you are right, Monty. Up ...

I think with traction control becoming the norm now the gap between the 600's and the 1000's will open out again. I've never ridden a litre bike so I have no idea how hard it is to get the power down? On the 899 which I think had traction control I had no problem at all getting the power down!

... else about the bike instead. It felt much like a modern, more powerful and more comfortable version of my 748 then. and probably why the 899 is getting rave reviews its more real world ?

Haven't been able to run since last friday, was getting alot of pain from my right calf/archilles tendon, nice lump on it just above my heel. Either badly imflammed or I've managed to put a tear in it. I'm due off tomorrow, got a Physio appt. booked ...

... as Kwacky, I'll call it Friday or latest of Saturday if it's really questionable. I don't mind the occasional shower, but can't be bothered with getting really wet..

I especially enjoyed the first two sessions. By the last session i was getting tired and made a few mistakes and the track was a bit crowded. Once the track cleared due a a brief stoppage for a faller, i found some of my earlier mojo again. :) Learned plenty ...

... rcv. Two 2nd places, four 3rds and two poles at that level is pretty impressive in my book. When did we last have a British rider in motogp getting those sort of results ???? Granted he did crash a few more times last season than he or anyone else would wish but when your chasing multiple ...
