... I know, and I've worked with plenty on a day to day basis throughout my working life. Funny though, I left school before I finished my last year, only formal training was military, rest had been self study by correspondence or in my off time, and I make a significant premium over him. The ...

... Army to a civilian design engineering life where they treat him like shit, teach him nothing and pay him peanuts. He has worked for us for a year and has realised civvies have it rough [emoji23] he will be moving on soon because he hates it. I'm sure your youngest will do fine mate she clearly ...

We've had 7 or 8 different winners this year in MotoGP. How is that boring or predictable?

... mileage one. The mechanic came out and agreed with me. He'll look at the hoses when he services the bike but he doubts they need replacing on a 2 year old bike. You should be able to check the state of a hose by a combination of the colour of the brake fluid, lever feel and visual inspection, ...

I'm sorry to see it go but glad I could help with the sale.

Look on the bright side, we can both go motorbike hunting next year for our new bikes.

... one day with my current employer, new job next week and hopefully a chance to work on getting fit again. (I had heart surgery at the end of last year)

I like the sound of this, however I dont Camp and my old bones can't handle a floor
Like Kwacky, with one thing and another this year has shot by without sorting many ride outs.
This would be fun.

1996 500cc race at Eastern Creek, Sydney. Scored a MotoGP video pass login from a work mate. Going to go halves with him next year. I was posted in Aussie at that time and had tickets to the race with a bunch of others from the Squadron, but we had a exercise come up last minute and we ...

Tankslap weekend away next year then............

The price of Motogp tickets - I paid £15 for the practice/test day 2 yrs ago they are asking for £26 this year , luckily I have been able to bag some for tomorrow only for free ( ish, I promised a few photo's on their facebook page ) , courtesy of the nice chaps at Pure Triumph Woburn .

I had football night before last and my fitness was best on pitch - surprising considering we've gone up 2 divisions this year. I can safely say it is down to my "sprint" training on the treadmill: 16 x 60 second sprints (treadmill maxed out at 20km/h) with 60 seconds rest. ...

How long have you been off now? If it's any consolation, my aunty attempted suicide a couple of years back by jumping off a bloody tall bridge. She broke her back/neck in multiple places as well as both hips and she's 99% recovered and has been for over a year now... I ...

With one thing and another I've been crap at organising ride outs this year. I can't remember the last one anyone planned. Next date I can do is 24th or 25th Sept.

If you're going up the A44 count me in!

The guys who I see only commuting in summer rarely nod. The ones who I see everyday and commute all year round and all conditions with me pretty much all nod. I think there's a recognition that we are both mental. lol.

Is that the one that heads to Aberystwyth if so then yes it's amazing!! I need to get there again actually haven't been for a year. Anyway heading for a Wales ride before the crap weather heads over?!

It must be that time of year, I've got some more bites. Serves me right for taking the dog for a walk
