They can be a bit skittish on the road with the factory settings. It doesn't take much to make them better behaved though.

Good racing at the start and a decent battle between the Sukis but yeah, not a classic.

Worthy world champion though

Dullest race of the year?

Worthy Champion though.

... having an open day. It really was nothing more than a press and a few plastic brewing barrels in a couple of farm out buildings. It's good stuff though. Apparently the big producers in the UK chuck a load of sugar into the apple juice to kick start the fermentation, it then brews up to 14-15% ...

He'll definitely be sore, but it looks like he hit the deck flat on his back, fingers crossed his back protector and lid were top notch (dead cert I'd think), if so they should have taken the brunt of the impact, still a big hit though.....

Well, to me anyway, it looks very tidy indeed for 49k km. Fwiw I never liked the D600 though, all too much of a big, angular, chunky & "Transformer-ish" look to them. It looks tidy because it only did 100 odd km after the paint job before I traded it!! ...

... get it in paperback as I save my good books for the helicopter trips but you can't take hardcovers on-board (possible projectile during a crash, though getting banged in the head by a hardcover would be the least of your problems!) but the cheapest I could find a paperback new was $AUD100 (shocked) ...

Nothing will happen til Springtime.

Quite tempted by a 200bhp petrol Alfa though.

Oh...that's right!! Good call...totally forgot about that. Seriously though......you will probably want to check up on their 'quake drills while you're over there. They're pretty simple....don't run, get under a doorway, etc. They have the routines pretty ...

... I was very anxious when I went out. Again, completely different to how it looks in videos, on TV and in the game (the game was the most accurate though). First flying lap I looked down at the speedo - 174mph !!! Braking from 200m down 3 gears into Turn 1, down to around 50mph, stay central in ...

... and 320mm discs, plus full Euro 4 compliance and ABS braking. http://www.morebikes.co.uk/yamaha-2017-r6-specs-are-here-no-power-figures-yet-though/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A turtle getting chased by a black tip reef shark, but not successfully, as the turtle was almost as big as the shark. The sea is bloody flat out here at the moment so the wildlife is more visible. Though that's only the 3rd turtle I've seen in nearly 4 yrs.

... Panama Geisha that had gone missing in transit. Ref:vent thread. I sent Jess up to check the chlorine levels in the pool as it's warming up and although it has auto dose it level is manually set. She got there and rang me and tells me the parcel is sitting on my doorstep. It was a registered parcel ...

... I can take it like the female I am !! (lol) I love to feel the wind on my vagina haha It is nice when you see these expensive bikes on the track though and the vast majority are real nice guys with a great attitude to life - "it's only money" I'd be happy with race suspension ;)

There's no way I'll ever find 65k to spend on a bike and wouldn't dare take it any where near a track if I could. I do love that fact that companies like Ducati make them though.

... and you're keeping up with them with 30,000 miles on your engine, 80bhp deficit and bald tyres it is the most satisfying feeling. Fair points though not all these bikes end up in collections. A trip to JHP over winter confirms how many of the Desmosedicis get a good few thrashings round tracks ...

Not as satisfying as owning a Superleggera Mk2 though Cav

Aplle take the p!s$ with the patent thing though - they asked Samsung to design a tough glass for them as their's wasn't good enough. Samsung obliged then continued to use the glass in their own product. Apple sued them for 100's of millions.

Samsung's are still a better phone than iPhones IMO
