even if you didnt want physical contact with them you could at least say " ive rung the police and they are on their way" that would do enough to unsettle them.Pikey scum

... as much as the thieving scumbags do. Nobody expects the public to fight crime but they could rise the alarm. As long as people will look the other way the minority of scumbags who polute this earth will continue to prosper. If we stand together as a society we can defeat anti social crime and theft ...

Given the two bikes....whichever one pulls at the heartstrings...a bike is a very personal choice....it's like telling someone their favourite meal is wrong, there's just no accounting for taste...and I mean that in a good way, as Americans epitomize the very term "good taste".

If it was me it would be the 1299 all day long, I honestly found the 1199 way too difficult control/manage especially on our lovely roads and it was a Brutal bike. I believe the 1299 is a more refined ride, oh and I loved the up & downshift QS with auto blipper .

After mine and Kwacky's short flight and subsequent hard landing my bike has developed a knock when I brake. Could be the pads moving in the callipers but thinking the headstock bearing might need adjusting.

Anyone know a way of testing the bearings without lifting the front wheel off the ground?

1 hour? Bloody hell. Before I started getting headaches I used to do no more than 30 minutes and that would batter me.

Great way to get into shape though.

Jet washed and cleaned the Multi thoroughly after getting caught in the rain last week on the way back from Silverstone. Lovely washing the bike in the glorious sunshine yesterday.

... to ride a bike, grow the feck up, grow a pair, and get off road. Wankers !!! I'm with Nutz, I rode a lot for years on the roads around NZ and I always did my best to give cars a way past. I have no problem them riding abreast on a quiet road, but when a car comes have the sense to drop back to ...

Rode it down to Prescott, then up a Hill twice and then home. On the way home gave a couple of Gixxer boys a bloody nose as they thought their Hayabusa and GSXR1000 would be much quicker away from the lights than my 'touring' bike. Pushed their way to the ...

... of love, art, dreams of my childhood. No, stop pursuing wealth, it can only make a person into a twisted being, just like me. God has made us one way, we can feel the love in the heart of each of us, and not illusions built by fame or money, like I made in my life, I cannot take them with me. ...

Starting to get brighter this side of the Mids. Perhaps the snow will come this way later.

Chilling tonight.

Tomorrow will be very weather dependant. I want to get the wheels back on the RSV. Once that is done I can move it out the way and get on with destroying the garden.

Sunday will hopefully be a 10 mile run followed by some family time.

started competitive racing when I was 11 ,won my 1st british champs aged 13, raced for GB all around the world until I was about 32.Commuted through a city by pushbike for a lifetime ,way before cycling was cool and hipster.Many things on a motorbike cross over to cycling imho

Not feeling particularly loquacious or nowt......Mom's anniversary today.

I think I'll smoke an extra pack of ciggies today in her honour....she would have wanted it that way.

... with original discs. Do I replace the oldest discs and get the Brembo 320mm upgrade? It's about £20/discs more than any other 300mm discs. This way, I can keep the 14k discs for wet weather (sintered pads) and use the brembos for dry weather (dual carbon pads). Essentially I'm looking for permission ...

You and the bike looked spot on out there Andy. Really fast and smooth the bike looked settled and the way it was wearing that supercorsa looked spot on. Thanks for the banter it was a good excuse to get out on the bike and took the twisty way home.

Quite. You would ride it like you stole it but there's no way you would want to keep it.

It would make a cracking track bike IMO with all the ohlins and brembo stuff added to it but you're right - WAY too much money for what is very old and outdated

Took the long way home And got stuck behind an HGV for about 6 miles. LOL, I had to drive into the shity of Hull today, and was cutting it fine for the meeting. I came up behind a HGV with L plates, which then proceeded to second-guess ...
