I think you had a lucky escape IMHO. Somewhere that does bikes, cars and washing is never going to be top draw IMO.

Go with the the other guys recommendations would be my advice. I know Kwacky is always happy where he goes and assume that's pretty local to you.

just met another guy on a zx6 looking at mine in the work carpark and checking out the tankslap logos, gave him a card, told him to check it out, also gave one to a guy a gixxer 6 I saw pull up at Asda the other day while I was shopping

Im with MCE and had a claim with them and they were really good, but I do think I was just lucky as the other party admitted fault straight away so was all relatively straight forward but I cant complain about them, Swinton on the other hand I wouldnt touch with a barge poll ...

... for the advice all. I have done about 6000 miles on them, so think they should have bedded in by now. When they first felt rubbish, that was my other thought. Obviously I don't know what pads the otehr person used, but as it was a brand new speed triple R, I would imagine it was the same barnd ...

... fast! Two things I don't like: The exhaust wraps round under the seat and gets very hot! Very very hot! Sweaty down there to say the least! The other thing is probably to be expected but it's quite thirsty. It had quite a bit in the tank when I picked it up. I rode for a good bit, filled it ...

... across a thread regarding a company making custom repsol leathers. Looking further into it I saw the company did Rossi , Hayden and quite a few other reps. The quality of the leathers looks good but I was still dubious then looked further and they seem to make quite a few leathers for racers. ...

New Bendix pads are in.

I've done a quick bleed of the brakes but they're still spongy. I'm starting to suspect it's the after market lever. I've heard of people having similar issues on other bikes. So either I go back to stock or I switch it all over and put the Beringer on.

feck all sense

... paint, the new charging system installed, rebuild the left front shock (as I stuffed up last time and the compression screw won't move) and a few other bits and pieces. Been like this for 2 yrs now. I rode it down last week to get rego and hope this is the year it is fully revived! I was in the ...

... not sure If I should go or not. Part of me really feels like I should to say goodbye and I suppose be there for them one last time but then the other part of me thinks we only worked together so in the grand scheme of things I didnt know her THAT well and I would feel like im intruding on her ...

They've got the evidence for that. The passengers wanted out. They'll build case and look at other charges as well. I think he's looking at a stretch inside.

What he said ^ The stupidity of even thinking about doing it!!!. Watch this space for some other arse to try it at a bike race.

... shopping mall with tiny bedrooms, average entertainment and overpriced drinks? No thanks. I don't want to be trapped bobbing around with 1000 other obnoxious humans. Most of which are probably still over the age of 70. Anyone else been on one? I'd rather spend my money in more exciting ventures ...

I always do it if they move over, as long as it's safe. It's like someone holding a door open for you really, I wouldn't ignore that so I don't ignore when drivers move over.

Even had a BMW driver move over the other day! :o

What another fantastic race.

Riders taking the fight to each other all through the race and then having a laugh and joke about if afterwards. Really really impressive stuff.

More please.

I love BBQ's. I love to eat outside in the nice weather, and it's not just the grilled meat, but also the salads, potatoes, beer and all the other things that go with it. And yes usually people around too. It's usually good family time. I can eat inside the other 345 days of the year.

I had a pair of lightech bar ends but one got damaged in the drop. I swapped the good one over and put the brake lever protector on the other side.

It's a nice bit of kit but it could so with something to plug up the gap. You only notice it if you look for it.
