... to keep it. It doesn't need anything doing to it. A guy at work has the Versys 650 and loves it - he does countless trips to York from Bristol and says it's the most comfortable he's been on a bike. He also gets upwards of 55mpg out of it (mostly motorway miles for him). He seems well protected ...

... were down a bit, but as I was inflating them I spotted a bigger problem. The bloody Tyres were breaking up! They have gone hard and brittle. I'd say some one had better rims and tyres on it and removed them and fitted the originals to trade it in, but by then the rubber was old. Just a guess. ...

Glad to hear mate, like everyone has said about you sound like an asset to the comment so glad they recognise that and have decided to invest in you. From what I've picked up about you on here I'd say it's a sound investment in their behalf.

All the best with the future Cav.

The only thing i would say its better its happened this week rather than next week.

Not much comfort though.

All I can say is I like my little gixer 600 track bike, until I have run the wheels off that I will stick to it, I know I could go faster on it, so still lots to improve on that for me anyway. However with the issues in Almeria ...

... as of July 1st I will be in a permanent design position. I want to thank all of you for your input, I've read and understand what you all have to say and it's definitely helped me consider my future.

... No, this is actually not for the same game as kingfixers bike was recorded for - this is a new one - but unfortunately I am not allowed to say what it is for yet - will be able to in a few weeks time when it is announced! We are aiming to try to record down in the Bristol area, but if you ...

Always wanted to take the 748 on track. Maybe they say its too noisy but £20 lost at worst. Booked the 12.30 slot.

We met Holly (Norman Lovatt) the other weekend, cracking bloke and we got him to say "They're dead Dave, everybody's dead Dave" That is brilliant Monty I love Red Dwarf [emoji23] It was mate, I went with an old friend of 30 years and we came out giggling ...

Up to series 3 of Red Dwarf with my eldest, forgotten how funny it was. We met Holly (Norman Lovatt) the other weekend, cracking bloke and we got him to say "They're dead Dave, everybody's dead Dave"

I had to Google 'Twiglet'.....my wife used to say I had a Twiglet.
I always thought it was a compliment.

Now it seems I just have a limp biscuit.

Brilliant I'm glad you had a great time, I love the BBS set up and like you say it's like one big family event. I can't wait till next year now. I love Almeria it's my favorite circuit.

That sounds like one hell of an opportunity you had there Duke, & I'm really pleased it lived up to expectations mate.



Although I have to say that looking at those trackday pictures, I'm a little disappointed at the flagrant lack of cable ties & duct tape,!

... at all. Smooth as. It took me a few laps to get back into track riding as I have not done any since the day i broke my wrist 4 years ago. Have to say though that the bug has bitten me again today and i would love a bike i could ride to the track and then ride on track. Quite tempted to look at ...

Just got home. I owe you a few drinks for the link ,Kwacky. I'll put some photos up later. All I can say is i have never ridden anything with such brutal power but equally it all feels totally under control due to the electronics. 3rd & 4th gear power wheelies on the ...

I feel sick

Interval training is brutal...I feel sick just thinking about it.

How often are you doing it?? 'They' say not to do it more than once a week....I err on the side of caution and do it about once per lifetime.

Cyclists are aggressive?? I'm sure some are....just as with anything. Still, I've yet to hear someone say "Damn pesky cyclist hit my car today and nearly killed me!!" But...I myself have been hit twice...just riding along, minding my own business...in a fricking ...
