Heh.

I got in SO much trouble last year for making a Diana joke. "I went to the funeral", said my ex. Ooops.

... including dayglo helmets, which have been knocked off their bikes! Yes a high percentage are actually wearing said gear! I made a mental note last year about the amount of these photos which were being posted contained the rider with this on. SMIDNSY - will exist regardless of your attire, I have ...

Sitting in a old stately home type gaff overnight, sick of holiday inns and premier inns, looking for these weird and wonderful pads to stop in as I go around This year. Well until I get bored and want familiar again lol....
I am in the middle of nowhere in deepest Norfolk lol.....

Glad to see Marquez is getting quicker.. I want this lad to be upsetting the field again next year by winning back to back again.

He definitely needs to sort his head out though because he's not the same rider he was in the first 2 years !!

Hondas problems last year were lack of engine braking

It's just over 3 1/4 hours for me, but I have said I want to do one "away day" this year..

Good man for posting up, I'm a definite maybe.

They had varying levels of concessions last year but that changed this year I'm assuming - I haven't actually read anything about it I'm purely assuming haha.

I'll start watching SBK now Josh Brookes is in it.. he's an astonishing rider !!

... advantage though, and the Pits area is less "Agricultural". Very thoughtful of you Andy, I'll drop you a message if I get there this year. Last year was fun, I left a few 675 parts scattered around it & had a guided tour of their very impressive medical suite too.

I plan on doing Oulton this year and if the dates fall right I will definitely go at the same time as others on here.

I'm likely to do Oulton sometime late June-September. Would be nice to meet you all

Typically I keep a chain for a year but this DID XW ring chain is doing good. I clean it every month or two and keep it lubed and adjusted.

The aluminium AFAM sprocket on the rear is doing really well too. I've done 2 trackdays and more than 2000 miles on it and it's still immaculate.

... at one of the Wootton Bassett rides, waiting with hundreds of other bikers to be let out on the road. I went to the loo and left Rosa (who was a year old) with my two mates. I got back to find my mate being slagged off because the R1 - which didn't belong to him - was dirty. By some mid-30s twat ...

They took half a season last year before they admitted the bike wasn't working.

... celebrating birthdays really to me its just another day, I have a lot more to come but it's not what I do on the day it's what I do through the year that counts to me. Me and my partner like going away and this year is action packed so pretty happy with that. Thanks again to everyone [SMILING ...

... and possibly the programme , I won't know for a few weeks but it looks like I am also going to be the official photographer for the event this year , if it comes off it would really set me up financially for the rest of the year

If you don't mind me asking, howcome you're going for a brand new bike? You could get a 1 year old for £2k less I'm not necessarily, just looking at all the options. Can't afford a nearly new bike, as I've only got 5k to spend but the 0% finance on a new bike from Kawasaki ...

... rear shock anyway and will be set up by Darren at MCT If you don't mind me asking, howcome you're going for a brand new bike? You could get a 1 year old for £2k less

Diet starts tomorrow. Sure sure! The missus made Cottage Pie tonight. Between 3 of us (because the boy is going through a 3 year phase of only eating chicken nuggets!) We'll usually get through about 2/3rds of it. The girls had their normal portions, and I finished the lot. I feel fat ...

Did some gardening yesterday, seems to be the best time of year to totally destroy the garden, but stand a chance of it being usable by summer.

Finished off seeding some new lawn area today. Then kids party this afternoon, now drinking wine to recover...

Interesting they had him out on last years bike rather than testing this years. Now they have changed it so he rides against the team riders. Sounds like they are interested in benchmarking him against the current crop. I'll be very surprised if he doesn't do a GP race sometime through the year.

My 6 year old son playing Splatoon on the Wii U.

He's playing Multiplayer and although he's doing alright for a 6 year old, it's toe-curlingly irritating watching him.

He's such a noob!
