I think they say it's a black and white photo which they've coloured. All the same the detail is something else.

... get these two out of my head last night. Ended up having a lovely dream about the new imaginery Mrs Blade and her sister last night and have to say it was a lovely lovely dream with a very happy ending (happy) The girls had a coffee and a chat and I took the kawasaki out for a good thrashing, ...

... now 5 days since it was supposed to be here on an overnight! They said he delivered to No 19 of my street, I don't live at 19, the parcel did not say No19, turns out people of no 19 then took it to the post office! Wtf is going on... Are these people all totally fecking thick! Or am I really expecting ...

Haha. I know what you mean Rossgo and I'm the same. I'm glad to say my ambition doesn't out weigh my talent.

... TBH as I told the Yamaha Sales Manager at Silverstone Motogp it looked cr@p and the base model looked 10 times better and he said"Everyone says that" Seems Yamaha arent listening to their customers. In 2016 Yamaha will have their Corporate Blue / Silver and 60th Anniversary Speed Block ...

Can't say any different Duke there are dicks in boxes there unfortunately.

Not sure if they do bike only days ??? Perhaps someone else might know ?

... Hope you manage to juggle all those aspects, sounds pretty fraught at the moment.! Anyway, sixteen years isn't very long. You'll soon have time to say to yourself " well that's done, now where did I put my old motorbike .." (nod)

Kwacky do you mean that very small writing that we all just say yes too!! Mind numbing time I guess!!

... see these 2 knowing what to do. Great bit of riding and driving in my opinion. Icd love to ride around the ring. Not to go racing around just to say yes been there rode it! Apparently the roads around the ring are amazing too

Was going to say the same the A44 is a great road. People do hammer it down there mind!

I'd do what Kwacly has suggested mate. Get a quote for all your gear like for like and give them it and say this is what I need to cover my kit. You had good stuff mate and the proper kit does not come cheap as you know. Hope it all works out. If it needs a bit of a fight then do it

I'm not a Kwak fanboy, but have to say that collection is simply stunning. I can't even start to imagine how much it would cost to assemble something like that or the time and commitment. Hats off to the poster and to the owner, I was especially ...

... a year ago, similar ones are going for anything between £2000-£3500! I understand that things depreciate over time but I can't go to J&S and say "can I have a second hand helmet that's been worn for three year but is in really good condition and I'll give you 40% less than it's market ...

Hope you find something new rocket season is almost up so guess no rush! Shame about the 899 but least you can say you've owned one!

Just so happens I have one of those in my garage at the moment....










But it's not mine


It belongs to my best mate who picked it up yesterday, the last matte black one in the country if the salesman is to be believed.

He did say he's going to let me ride it

And to be fair to footballers trainers, doctors and managers are reluctant to allow someone to play if they think the footballer hasn't recovered.

That's not to say they don't act like drama queens when someone gets too close.

I looked at the thread on 675cc and that pic you post Kwacky was of the front tyre, his rear loks a lot more respectable in regards to chicken strips. Also looking at the pic St Marks posted of him, he seems to have a good body position and I'd say uses less of the tyre at the same speed than I do..

... very edge with no strip remaining but I was leaning a 190/50 Supercorsa over further and still had a few mm remaining of fresh rubber which as I say I prefer. At least I know I have something in reserve. You would think the 50 profile has a less aggressive profile than the 55 profile but I guess ...

Stay postive Perks as you say big change today and probably ly just first day nerves. Good to hear they are nice people as that's at least half the battle won straight away. I m sure you will settled in and enjoy it soon as it has to better ...

... bike up as soon as they can to get the power down, but that still means you need to lean the bike over at some point to get around a corner. As I say, I'm probably being harsh. I'm simply surprised at how little of the tyre has been used seeing as a couple of track days have been done.
