Re: Matlock Bath Breakfast Sunday 10th April

... if I go out. I'm also slightly mindful that the date has crept up on me and that, despite me making bold claims that this would be a good biking year for me, I've ridden it once. For about 13 minutes. I'm not rideout-fit, I'm ashamed to say. I need to get my eye in before I let myself loose near ...

Re: Oulton Park 2016

I REALLY want to do Oulton but seeing the cost of it this year I am put off..

Cadwell is £99
Snetterton is £99
There's a Silverstone GP day for £155 which I'm likely to do..

Re: Matlock Bath Breakfast Sunday 10th April

LOL not sure yet I'll probably just improvise with whatever come to hand!

Definitely on the Gay Club, this spring and summer is going to be the year of the bike.

Hey Rocket that's great to know. I've heard 1st gear is taller and a pain at times. I'll have a look to see which year had the steering damper. No problem blade and perkles have the later bike and they have had them longer than me. So I'm sure will give you some more pointers. ...

... I believe it makes 184bhp with a slip on and air filter and it's a stonking piece of kit! I don't know about any revisions in terms of manufacture year so can't offer advice on that sadly. If I had £9k cash and was looking at one of those, I would strongly consider getting a small loan (or 0% credit ...

... for Monty clearly) it's time for a change of bike. Having loved the MT-09 and I'm not kidding, it's a cracking fun and naughty inducing bike for a year (I know Kwacky I've had it a whole 12ms) which is twice as long as any previous bike I fancy a change and head on back to superbikes...:-) I've ...

Re: CBR600RR no more

If supersport racing was to end which I'm sure I heard last year the class was soon to end, would it truly be a bad thing ? It would free up manufacturers to make whatever they wanted to make as there middleweight ...

I may be wrong but I suspect someone, somewhere, has had a heart to heart with him and told him if he didn't win a TT on that Beemer last year he was never going to, that same conversation probably went on to point out that fame/notoriety is a passing thing and if he wanted to be set for life, ...
