When I lived in NZ 99% nodded back. My trip back there last year about 75% returned the gesture.

In Aussie, they just look at me like I'm a weirdo. I've had maybe 2-3 ever return it. They were probably OS visitors

2nd to last night shift of the swing. Was only a 2 week swing this time (we do a short shift rotation once a year) but it seems the mindset as you get closer to the end isn't any different to a 3 weeker, you just want out! Looking forward to the 5 week break and some rides on ...

don't get too excited yet, lot of ducks to lined up before it's possible, but if not next year I hope to in the next few.

... I'm just throwing a curve ball idea in. I know you like big nakeds and the top of that particular tree has to be the V4 Tuono. I test rode one a year or two back and it was an amazing bike. The price of the Tuono is probably the same as your z1000 and the upgrades you have planned so just making ...

Just out of curiosity, is this the sort of time of the year you always do the this trip? My back to back has talked to me about a shift swap september next year which will result in me having a 9 week break (although prior to that I will be working ...

There's a new one coming out next year, so this one is only about 15 quid on Amazon.

Even if it only lasts a couple of weeks with the boy it's worth it.

Enjoy it guys. Not been many rideouts this year so would have been good to catch up with everyone but I'll be working so maybe next year.

Have a good safe trip and hope you get some decent weatheer.

We'll be back next year

... interest in cars for the main part after buying a bike....you can't lean a car, you can't fall off a car, etc. My old MB literally just sat for years and barely got used at all.....maybe 1000 miles a year if that. I like cars more as a styling exercise...and I like the older ones. New cars just ...

I got pit passes last year. Was good fun despite the crappy weather. Some of the hospitality trucks are awesome.

I believe Porsche have a reputation for making their best cars very limited supply and some dealers abuse it. When on the way to France last year a V6 Alfa pulled up in a fuel station beside us. Made a fantastic noise. I was hoping to get out to do the Evo triangle in Wales on the bike at some ...

I don;'t think he's got the mind set for it this year. At least last year he had some fight in him.

Good luck dude hope it goes OK. Kids and hospital, bloody awful experience. I spent a night with a three year old holding an oxygen mask in one hand, the nurse's personal iPad in the other and one eye glued to the blood oxygen motor screen. I never want to see another episode ...

Thanks for the link Duke but seen same year with less miles and akrapovic can for a grand less and that's before the dealing starts ;) There is quite a few appearing on ebay now as the season starts to approach an end. I guess people wish to ...

That Honda is very ordinary this year so you can see how hard he is having to ride it and how special he is.

I see from the pole lap he and Rossi have not lost any love
