Sheez!!....watching endless commercials for pizza, which conveniently has a crust stuffed with even more cheese, for added heart attack potential. In between the commercials, they manage to slip in a few snippets of a TV show about a guy named "Bear Claw"...this ...

Couldn't be arsed to cook so popped down to the Oak for a burger (very good) and a couple of pints (even better).

... I have to have an ECG heart monitor strapped to me for 24 hours. I have not had it on 2 hours yet and already it is irritating the hell out of me Even worse, I cannot take a shower with it on, and I am not allowed to remove it. Roll on 1.30 tomorrow afternoon, I know what my first job will be.

... slide control, quickshifter, down shifter not to mention magnesium wheels and alloy tank all of which are standard on the base model R1 but not even options on the R6. If all thinks were equal the only difference would be engine internals which would be minimal cost difference. So all in you ...

... qualified riders will be lower insurance premiums. I imagine insurance on a 1000cc is expensive without being over 25/30 with some experience. Even now in my 40's I'm asked for what experience I have on a litre bike when shopping for insurance

......lowdown grunt and bags of torque,piece of piss to ride most times you dont even need to change gear Ahh, I see... Bit like a milk float then. (nod) Sorry Perky, that was a bit flippant (even for me). But even a 250cc 4T bike without sports tune can 0-60 faster ...

... Bike fashion changes and I'm sad to see that CBR600RR disappear, but who's to say something similar won't appear again in 10yrs or so? (It might even have a Flux Capacitor by then ;) )
