... these days. It seems that the CBR600rr does hold its price. Low mileage 2005 models are around £4k. I guess the build quality means you're still getting a bike in good condition, despite the age and the lack of updates means that the bikes from the last 10 years aren't that different .

Thanks.

I've got a light rain jacket I can put over my leathers, but the problem is taking a shirt to work rather than wearing one underneath my jacket. Plus leathers aren't that warm. I'm getting old and need my creature comforts.

I've got a waterproof Alpinestar motocross jacket I wear over my leathers, might be worth getting one as a short term fix. Think they only cost around 30 to 40 quid.

They will love him then as he has a liking for them himself and is getting a nice collection

Are you replacing the sx and zx6r ???? Dunno. I am getting another bike. I have no idea what I'm getting but the current plan is to keep the SX and to buy something for the weekend. I want to see what is going to be on offer for 2017 and whether that ...

(facepalm) I can't win. A quick google finds 1299, 1199, R1, S1000rr, Fireblade and Gixer Thou forums all talking about them. S1000rr riders are getting between 3,000 to 5,000 from a rear I don't think the M7rr is the tyre to use on the track if you were running in the fast group this week and ...

Once up to operating temp modern tyres have more grip than we think Rossgo. I was getting my knee down at Oulton Park last week on a damp track with rain still spitting down. M7rr is supposedly the best fast road tyre for wet conditions so you have the perfect tyre ...

... I think you will find most pro cyclists develop a mystery asthma or allergy so they can take steroids from a doctor it's just another way of getting round the rules Blood doping is still rife but undetectable unless they find plasticisers in the blood from the IV bags or the blood heamaglobin ...

You should be getting 10km eggs. No idea why you're not.

Hatched 3 eggs yesterday courtesy of being stuck in traffic - all of them were sh!t !!

I do currently have 3x 10k eggs though so potentially things are getting better

The standard one is what John Hackett recommended. He said if you go for a 48 tooth then it limits the ease of getting new clutch plates and as long as you can live with the dry clutch noise then there isn't much benefit from the 48 teeth The SBK Is a bit more than just a 48t ...

... was the first that sprang to mind, apparently VW don't give flying f*ck if Mercedes Vitos are better than VW Transporters. I don't normally like getting shouty with the front line staff as they can't help the policy their managers make up, but they all had some today.

Waiting for stuff to arrive so I can get started. Some of the stuff is still in India, other stuff is getting machined, other stuff is getting cut into samples. Meanwhile I have to start machining other samples so I actually have something to do. The worst feeling is when ...

Getting them used to exams before they sit the main one is the right way to do it. But training them from a young age is just wrong IMO.

Five aren't cheap but like Duke says, you shouldn't mess around when it comes to getting kit. They only make gloves, that's all they do. To me that means they have to get it right, unlike other companies who can get by with some products better than others The ones ...

... never otherwise been exposed to. She is very intelligent and does thrive under pressure but doesn't like tests. When you're looking at the top 10% getting through we just wanted to ensure she gets the best chance she can to show what she can do. By all accounts the school they took it at was crazy ...

I'm up to 106 caught, 108 seen - getting good.

I know what you mean! Started making a pile of Daytona bits, thought it would be a boot load trip but might have to take the trailer!!

Getting all the paperwork sorted for the zx6r.

I didn't realise I was such a hoarder.

Doing today?? Getting lost on my MTB....without water...and I got 'turned around' somehow and lost my bearings......all the streets around my neighbourhood are "San Sommit","Valley Vista", "Vista View" ...
