... wait. (Oh and they're about 1second/lap slower) Cav im old and fat I dont chase lap times :D Haha.. well it's a cheaper alternative anyway - I'm sure you'll like it just as much and it probably wouldn't hinder you at all

You'll never find a swingarm in one piece that's for sure Kwacky! Have you ever flicked it with your nail and heard how delicate it is?

The engine is something that's concerning me, if mine ever goes I would have to get an 07/08 engine as that's all you'll ever find!!

... I'm over the moon to be honest as I've been pretty stressed out since the new year for various reasons and it finally seems to have subsided. I'm sure I'll update you guys when I start the new job anyway :)

Good luck with the future career Cav. You have given the decision alot of thought so I'm sure it will be the right one.

I'm pretty sure it was a bit of dealer bull crap was not over impressed with the dealer took them 20 minutes to come over and see me while they discussed what days they were working. He also shirked the question on how much my ...

I'm sure you're right, and suspect most tyres don't really need much running in these days. I just tend to give any new tyres at least 50 miles regardless of how they feel, just to be safe. More for my own head than anything ...

Andy you can get cheap boroscope type cameras that plug into your lap top via USB point. Not sure of the quality but maybe some help for an internal inspection. Great idea thanks just ordered one. Also check the header pipes. Any valve/piston interaction generally leads ...

... to cause any further damage right? I haven't looked at the cam chain yet as if I pull the bottom cover I'm going to need a new gasket and I'm not sure if I'd see any problems just by pulling the bottom cover? I've taken the airbox off and pulled the plugs. The top of the throttle bodies looked ...

Not sure what you mean by a soft link and that's something I wouldn't like to answer to be honest, it's completely personal preference whether you try it or not. If not, call AR Racing and they'll likely have a link for the ...

I was too knackered after the weekend to sit up and watch it so going to DL it today and watch it tonight. Good race then?

There are a couple of surprises.

Sure was! Not a bad race at all.

LOL, I'm not too worried about this one (Lily), but I'm dreading Ella the 4 year old becoming a teenager. Not sure the world is ready!

... lunch in a completely different role - something more commercial. The one role would be working for a guy I do trackdays with but not entirely sure about the role itself, much more testing than designing. I'm off to enjoy some chicken with some Argentinian sauce, new potatoes and green beans :)

I'm not sure about how the tilt sensor works on the 675. I presume that stopped the bike from firing after the crash but was reset. I was thinking if the sensor has a fault or was sticking that could cause the issue. You've checked ...

... a £250 cheque coming my way from you've been framed for a video of my bike going bang and then me sobbing next to a broken bike. However I'm not sure what to check next without stripping the engine down and even then no idea what I'm looking for and that could still end with the same video :D ...

I'm sure you could, I'm off to read about real bikes!

... R1 which was nearly as drop dead gorgeous as his OWo1 Yzf750. I love the way the open pit lane worked for me it was just so relaxed. I'm not sure if i had any more track time than a normal track-day but the time i had out on track was loads better as i was not chasing a 20 minute session. ...

Pretty sure I run these- I'll check when I get home. Haven't even approached the limits on the road, quick to heat up, perfect summer road tyre!

I haven't an idea how long it was up for but surely there's ways of seeing new videos up, YouTube is owned by Google, Google have hundreds of millions of pounds coming in, I'm sure they can find a way of being quicker on the uptake, it's their ...
