... had kangaroo over Christmas. Unimpressed tbh. Not worth it over beef IMO. We have an ostrich farm up the road so that will get a visit during the year. I'd like to try it. That's a shame. My take on the Kangaroo steak was that it seemed very tasty. I felt it's consistency was about that of a firm ...

... she wont put me down lol) It was nice knowing you mate... ;) There is a lot of personal taste when it comes to bikes. I had a naked for a year and never really got on with it, ok it was and XJR so had the performance and handling of a small tank. But, I always came back from the ride knackered. ...

Ps

The Friday previous to donington meeting nothing is happening that day.

Will be there Thursday all day doing a track day nice and steady and staying over for 4 days. Can't wait for first BBQ of the year!

Had a little ride out and gave the bike a really good clean.... It was really nice to get without layers of clober, and for the first time this year summer gloves were worn

... but these things are all individual. My mrs was really up for it when we were out with her family over there and when we got back but its been a year on now and I think she thinks along the same lines as missing the family that is over here. I enjoy moving about and change though. Ideally id ...

thats Edmund Best an Aprillia superteen rider , you wouldn't believe that was him if you saw his 1st outing at Brands last year, he has improved so much

I've been a subscriber of Bike Magazine for years and for me is the best bike mag, there are some others such as Ride which are good too, but the writing is Bike is very good. Anyways, I decided this year to go for the ipad subscription as I get ...

... parties I used to attend were like the last days of Rome. Most Fridays after work we all went out and got pissed together. All sorts went on. One year I was at a new firm and just before the Christmas party we were sent an email telling us what we could and couldn't get up to. There was a code ...

... greeting cards industry. Thanks a f'ing bunch. ;( Try and remember the good times instead, mate. Father's day was quite difficult for me last year and we were all in the IOM too, which is why i fecked off on my own for an hour or so but you have to think of all the good memories you have with ...

Did a 6.4mile run yesterday after work (aim was 10K minimum) and longest run I've done so far this year. Finished in 48 mins 30sec. which works out at just under 7min 40 miles. Not too bad as course was quite hilly. More enjoyable too as it went along contry roads so nicer ...

... and we was greeted with a bunch of people having a full blown argument outside their house. Some bloke (I assume the fugle Dad) saying about a 20 year old wanting to have a fight and see how big he is etc and of course everyone needs to follow them outside to provoke the argument/fight. Why do ...

Happy birthday.

50 is fine. My in-laws are both in their 80s this year and they've got a better social life than me.

Insurance, what a blooming minefield. I'm sure they make it up as they go along. I had a delivery of wood burning logs to my house over a year ago now, took the car out of the drive and parked it out of the way . Wagon turned up , dozy driver got the delivery horribly wrong and emptied the ...

My dad purchase a Tiger 800 last year. Amazing bit of kit for almost every situation!

Pulls like a train too!

I don't think his bike is good enough for that this year. In terms of performance they all seem to be a bit closer to each other. Even on that massive straight no one was really pulling away.

He was obviously trying to do what he did the 2nd half of last year and break away early, shame as if him, bradl and smith had stayed upright would have been a free for all towards the end lol

That was a good proper race that. I didn't mind the commentary, I mainly watched BBC coverage last year and is deffo much better than that. I watch the live stream online and the quality was superb, the only buffering was when my internet connection dropped

... very late mid night snack!? Sorry mate beans on toast was for tea u just posted it when I got in from my night out, there's still life in this 50 year old lol Haha I'm half your age and I don't even get in during the early hours of the morning anymore...there's no life in this 26 year old haha!!

... are doing similar pace and aiming at similar targets, be perfect training buddies! I'm aiming to finish the City2Surf (14km) in under an hour this year (did 65.27 last year) so thats a 6.50/mile average (with hills) I need to get too. I've been punching out that pace over 5 km on the treadmill ...
