... the bike being poorly and me getting promoted coincided to present me with my current steed, a Kawasaki Z1000. I'm not a fast rider, hell, I'm not even a medium rider. I'm a fully committed straight line hero but wobble around corners with all the composure of an egg butty, so I would probably ...

... late to maneuver the weight of the Bike to the curb for my leg to take stabilize me.... I went tipping over the other side in front of my mate... Even looking back makes me wonder how the hell I let it happen!!

... chatter from WW2 pilots, except it was inane rubbish instead of life saving advice. It also made me realise I enjoy the solitude biking gives me, even on motorway miles.

I think I managed to ride for about 3 miles this morning in lane 1 of the M6 without having to slow down. All of the other buggers were in lanes 2 and 3. One even flashed his lights at me. He didn't change lanes though.

... you have plenty of time on track to develop your skills at your pace. But it is more of a family affair the people who go seem to be regular, the evenings are very well catered for hotels are top notch. I went on my own the first time, and was looked after really well, hence going again. These ...

... there somewhere that keep the numbers of mice & rabbits in check. I’ve been messing about with anything mechanical ever since I can remember. Even at junior school I was earning pocket money repairing bicycles & then lawnmowers & onwards…. Motorcycles was really just a logical progression. ...

So spent my evening in a phone shop as I was due an upgrade, I knew what phone I wanted, I knew on which contract, I even knew what promotions they had goin, should have been the easiest transaction ever. The guy in the shop preceded ...

Shoulders and traps for me this morning. High rep work was painful. The sort of pain you get that just won't go away, even if you leave your arms by your side and lift nothing.

Especially if you leave your arms by your side!

But it was good. Legs tomorrow though...

... this. Head injuries like this are serious. There's a reason why his family are building something for him at home. He's going to need 24 hour care even if he does wake up.

Ive shared it on trackday riders FB page , also with the RNRMRRT and Leicestershire riders FB pages , I would love to go , even just to do the photography , but I'll have to see what my finances are like a bit nearer the time

How great that would be to have the track purely to Tankslap.

I'd love to I'm just not in a financial position to commit yet, even that far in advance (missus not working at the moment)

... around, with two lads 26 & 11, my oldest is a Head Chef and a biker, in fact he is the 4th generation of us G's to be on powered two wheelers, even my Mother has had a go at riding a bike before I came along, God help us. :S No pets though, losing my Cocker Spaniel 16yrs back after she saw ...

... at the back making sure the site keeps going. I love my bike and I love blasting round on country lanes, but I wouldn't consider myself a fast or even medium fast rider. It would also seem that my riding is getting slower as I am becoming more and more reluctant to risk crashing the bike..

Car covered in sand and even worse this morning, my Mum only has one lung and that's not functioning at full capacity so she has to stay indoors :-(

Strangely foggy all day today, and Scoobs and th'Audi covered in a fine mist of sand. What next??? A plague of locusts? Famine? I didn't even think we were supposed to get any of it Ooop Norf?

Still utterly beautiful, and yes I still would.

Even though I would need a fire extinguisher in my rucksack, and my very own Osteopath for an afternoon afterwards.

... in a nice Merc racing through the lights on the other side pushing himself in past other cars...when he past me I saw him chatting on his phone...even my GF turned around and said he needs to crash and go to hospital teaches him a lesson...wasn't young either mid 40s maybe 50 possibly. Do they ...

The air in Wolverhampton today was even worse than usual. I had to shut the windows and put the aircon on in the car. Can still feel it now.

... against type arguments from peoples posts which I'll throw at him one after the other should it come up again. And thanks for everyones input, even Kwackys

Bit late into this thread, Hubs but my take as follows...
Just stick to your guns, and explain the whys and wherefores of insurance and the ramifications of him possibly dropping it, and even hurting himself...if that fails, give him a slap!!!
