Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review
I suppose it depends on what do you have to replace on a bike in its first 2 years, compared to what you have to replace in the next 2. Obviously mileage is a factor, but your bike is still relatively young. My opinion would be to hang onto it, but I'm a tight ...

Re: Porsches
... We have had a few friends recently diagnosed with potentially terminal illness ( one of which has gone that way) and we realise we no longer have years and years to do all the things we would like, so no point putting them off if opportunities arise.

Re: Buxton tops the UK charts again.
They moved that camera years ago so now going down the different road makes no difference. You pass 2 cameras after the turn off and before the pub coming from the Mac side, which is the best side for twisties. As you say people reckon ...

Re: Sunday 9th April - Quatt Cafe Meet and ride
... few hours, despite getting lost shamefully close to my house. Confidence is on the up, I was more comfortable going down a road today that 2 or 3 years ago had me feeling nervous and wobbly. Lots of bikes out. Girls are starting to wear strappy tops and the like. Life is good!

Re: Buxton tops the UK charts again.
Do bikers still use the Cat n Fiddle ?
I thought average speed cameras killed the popularity of the road.
Longhill was bikings best kept secret for years. Great little run although I rarely ride it these days, it used to be regular haunt and even landed me in court many years back

Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review
I don't know Duke we pay out typically £180 every 2 years for main dealer car servicing, so £90 a year is nothing. Cars don't have valve clearance checks or chains and sprockets to worry about. Also the tyres need replacing at 10 times the distance ...

Re: Cars in the future
... some time for people to adjust. However totally agree with kwacky it would save billions for us so will eventually happen, I just don't see 20 years as realistic. I personally think double that. Technology maybe there in 20 years though Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Re: Bike Failed MOT
I'm pretty certain there is supposed to be a minimum distance between the indicators I used to have integrated indicators on the D6 all those years ago, and they failed me because of this. I got some car side repeaters, I think they where from a mondeo, and mounted them on the undertray. That ...

Re: Bike Failed MOT
... I could've disconnected the indicating part if I'd known beforehand that it would fail. The thing is I was unaware that it was illegal. Last years MOT was fine, I rang the last place I got it MOT'd at and they said the new rule has come in since my last test. How the feck was I to know it ...
