... friends but it does mean those who stand with me are worth looking after. Thats why we get on - a lot of people can't do that. Like to live in their own bubble without change or criticism. I hope the review notes get acted on.

Ducati has confirmed there is to be a 4.8% price increase across their entire range

What do you design??

I know some of the car companies do stuff this way to ensure that only their certified slackers do the maintenance....breakaway body clips and stuff like that.

... John Reynolds chatting to me and letting us pose with the MotoGP bike and the new Gixxer Thou etc. Norton were kind enough to let us pose with their new bikes, they even removed the rope around them. Fair enough the owner of Norton told us when we had had long enough, but he was nice and polite ...

What happened??

It's more about people texting and looking on the internet now. A call is ok if it's short (but yes, it's still distracting) but I see people staring at their phones as they're driving along.

Slagging off ducati on twitter for their attitude yesterday. Miserable cow needs some lessons on manners and how to interact with the public.

That sounds like a long day, but it's a message that we have to get across to drivers - don't use your phone when driving.

It's alarming the number of people I see each day using their phones.

... on the boil and 1 10km. 5km eggs are crap. The ones I hatched this weekend gave me ekans, seel , krabby and goldeen. I've already got enough of their respective candy to feed the African continent for a month.

People who don't pull their weight when it comes to tea duties.

Woman I work with is crap at this. I reckon we get one cup a day from her. She reckons she's not much of a tea drinker, but does she ever turn down an offer for a cuppa? Does she feck.

A little mix from me. The real photographers will be showing off their work later on. Fireblade. I think this was my favourite bike of the show. I prefer the look of the standard version as well http://i.imgur.com/PDOvhtbl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LzZn9rNl.jpg ...

For many people it's not so bad.....it's their only 'quiet time'...time to listen to their own music, be away from the wife & bairns, sneak a ciggy, etc. I don't mind the driving too much as long as it's moving.....an hour or so driving is ...

... Fwiw Cav I'd normally never use the rear brake on track, the engine braking is more than adequate (as mentioned). .......Guess they're rushed off their feet at this time of year........... Any company is only as good as the one person you deal with. From what I have seen of sales environments ...

... of emails off yesterday making initial enquiries. One company said they would get back to me, the other hasn't responded. Guess they're rushed off their feet at this time of year........... I find it amazing how some sales people seem to have so little idea about how their behaviour can influence ...

The zx6r has a slipper as standard, the SX doesn't (although I think the 2017 one does)

I sent a couple of emails off yesterday making initial enquiries. One company said they would get back to me, the other hasn't responded.

Guess they're rushed off their feet at this time of year...........

... beautifully, if you like triples have you ridden on of the last generation Daytonas.? They were a technical improvement & improved ride over their prettier older sister. Sounds like the bike you were riding needed a slipper clutch OR you were using the rear brake and locking it up

Of course it is. Stupid mistake sorry, my bad Duke.

Although if you only glimpse at what they wear, and forget to check out their faces, it's an easy mistake to make.??

They are just pieces of meat to you aren't they St Marks
