That is an impressive video. We all want to improve whatever level we are at.

Doesn't look like you have much in the way of faster riders to follow in that video that will help though.

We've just had a massive rain storm pass over this way. Mallory is about 75 mins north east of me. Let's hope it missed you.

... analytically critical. I could have done better but that would have come with spending more than 4 sessions on circuit. Don't take it the wrong way, I am very happy with how I did. My main pointers are improving my lines, increasing corner speed in a few places (the circuits technicalities were ...

I love the way the highly trained military Instructor reads the 'instructions' after he's destroyed it!

... I might do as you say and strip off all the bling and sell it on 675.cc - I had thought about it as it would probably actually make more £ that way.

... felt great when they warmed up. Bedded the new brakes in but was concerned as there was a lot of judder coming from the front and I hopped my way around turn one.. I thought I had messed the brakes up. Next session (with a freshly fitted cable tie and my sag adjusted to 30mm front and 35mm ...

Got it wet. Very wet. Thunder and lighting on the way home.

... lighter, more manageable and easier to throw around/pick up when he falls off it, plus for the rudiments of maintenance it's a 2 smoker all the way. (Don't forget Dad gets to trip out on the Bel-Ray fumes as well (rock) )

IMHO you are very lucky in so many ways Kwacky. :P You're a smart lad. You'll have a good idea of the stresses & strains that are to come. You can't possibly avoid it, that's just natures way. So perhaps you should just try to enjoy it.?? ...

I've heard it before. There is good science behind it and the way the body reacts to the sweetners they use.

... that it's much of a concellation but at least in the meantime you have use of another bike! :) That's reassuring! I noticed it was nearly all the way out though which indicates to me that the chain and sprocket need changing in the near future (maybe before I go to Catalunya) It's about £150 for ...

It's disgusting the way they've ignored it.

Only just seen this. Sorry to hear that, mate.

... limits I think it's a good idea to show them. They aren't harming anyone nor are they costing anything!? I am very confused over that, it's a way of knowing it is a posted limit if you don't see a repeater then it's most likely a national isn't that what the highway code says? Why do they ...

... really have a choice, otherwise the whole EU project will crumble in 5 years. How is that a fact?? It hasn't happened, so it's not factual in any way whatsoever, merely conjecture...pure scare tactics & nothing more.

The system is completely free and very easy to use. Click here to check your registration (Note;, ...

The rest of the family had spag Bol tonight, but just to be different I knocked up a proper carbonara, what's not to like? Pasta, bacon, cheese and eggs with a big pinch of pepper.
