The tour is amazingly well organised. We saw a stage a few years ago. The gendarmes know how to ride and block roads.

Looked really good on tv too

Not near us this year

Suffering with hayfever. I've managed to escape it for most of the year but it's kicked in today.

I'm only a fair weather rider but always have a sticky piston when I clean and strip the calipers every year as part of my service so if riding through winter crud and salt the calipers will have it very tough.

... who do all the holidays and parties together, and they all have parents like me. They party hard but only do it together. This will be the ninth year that they have been and the lads look after the girls and instead of a hotel they invariably get a large villa. So spend a lot of the time there ...

I used to go to Germany on training courses a couple of times a year, the subject of Brits abroad came up from time to time and tbh was embarrassing, they saw us as a joke, with the need to get bladdered and cause trouble where ever we either holidayed or ...

Happy Birthday to the United States of America

... wanted criminal has escaped the UK behind a veil, we may be hearing some electoral rhetoric concerning Burqa's and veiling generally over the next year or so, even if the main parties don't want to mention it, you can bet Farage and his bunch of closet racists will want to. Interesting read on ...

First ride on the SP this year and wanted to test some mods I had done early spring. The mods were: Brembo RCS Front Brake M/C, Brembo RCS Clutch MC and Sigma Slipper Clutch. Sigma Slipper Clutch - In a nut a nut shell does what it says ...

... bracket for the rear indicators as it's MOT time this friday and they've said they won't pass it with the integrated brake light indicators this year. Probably for the best as they are shite! IMG_1414.jpg IMG_1412.jpg IMG_1411.jpg

Better than last year Kwacky

Watched the motogp in the shed for the first time this year.

No one looks capable of beating him.
