... about your water woes, however bikers are in my experience some of the best people to have around you in a pinch, and it seems like the guys you were with really came through for you; as pointed about above, most clouds do have silver linings. Mick, it sounds like you got the 999 really humming ...

... collapso ! Some very nice bikes on show as well 4 fannygales a new R1M which sounded fantastic with the AR system on it. The 2 guys on the ZX10's were very rapid they were in mid 1.40's on fast laps. I may have to get an AIM SOLO as I didn't have a clue on my lap times, not that im overly bothered ...

Never mind Harrison Ford - where do I go to hire people that can build traps and devices that still work perfectly thousands of years after they were installed? P.S. That's not exclusive to Indy Jones, films like the Goonies also have kit that functions perfectly whilst covered in the dust of ...

Fwiw our broadband speeds were great when we had it put in, it was after the fibre lines were installed locally, but after a month or so BT's traffic policy dragged it down again. If we reboot our router after it being turned off for ...

... a bit optimistic with the price, I've seen low mileage 2012 bikes advertised for 4.5K I didn't want to say anything but I think that's right! If I were you I'd strip all the goodies off it and sell it as a standard low milage bike. Those shiny bits you have will sell very quickly on 675.cc. GLWS.

... time had the good sense to slam them on. This bike just gets better and better. Arrived at the bottom of Itchy's leap at 120......... (whew) Where were you thinking of landing Staffordshire (giggle) To be fair the bottom of Itchy's Leap is actually Staffordshire.

... turned up fully, it would not turn, well with me on it, he managed to rag it round plenty quick enough, as did Dave the truck driver ha ha. There were other offers for a couple of Tuono's (road bikes) again I did not feel comfortable so I declined the kind offers. Then I took Gary's Cbr600 out, ...

... around 50x of his friends all came up to Yorkshire, and he had a large marquis on the garden. His friends are of a similar age to him, and many were still CEOs or Senior Partners etc. Despite having grown up knowing them I'll admit to having been somewhat overwhelmed at times. This was his 80th ...

... and I had to have a go at them and a few kg these guys we actually banned from going back out. It transpired s hour into the session that there were 2 teachers with them (the lady was gorgeous) and they had to have a go at them all for being idiots. I almost got ran down down a handful of them ...

... you to take their demo bikes out for the full day. Its affiliated to Ducati Manchester so i guess their rules are the same. Ducati Manchester were very help full when i test rode the 899 I think the R will hold on to its value more but will be harder to sell. Also mileage will come into it ...

I've carried out 5 tests with 4 companies and the lowest was 78.6 and the highest 106.8. I got over 100 mbs on 3 tests and 96.5 on the 4th.

Upload speeds were around the 11 to 12 mbps mark.

I'll try it later on when it gets busy

Ref the OP, deffo the 1199R, my gauge on Ducati's is wait 20-30yrs and see which one is most desirable, and it's nearly always the pita one with "character" that makes it.
Let's be honest if we were talking Paso or 888 we all know which one we'd have.

Still got a xenon timing light and a dwell meter somewhere amongst the junk in my garage. Points and distributor were terrible compared to modern CDI.

... USB charging sockets are worth a look, we've replaced a couple of sockets with these at ours, we put them in the places where phones and iPads etc were most frequently charged, plus it then frees up the plug for other uses. I've been looking at those too. What would be even better if they could ...

The wall sockets with USB charging sockets are worth a look, we've replaced a couple of sockets with these at ours, we put them in the places where phones and iPads etc were most frequently charged, plus it then frees up the plug for other uses.

Everything is just more complex these days. I doubt many on here can remember the days of cars that used points and distributors which were a constant source of problems and the bikes of those days were even worse. I think i read somewhere that the peak days of bike quality of finish and ...

Really good gig last night. I went to see the headline act, Hannah Lou Clark, but both of the support acts were excellent, which is rare.
