I stuck to the service intervals until I noticed my gear shifts going bad at 2-3k then I would just change it as and when. With trackdays, no more than 3 before an oil change.

The bike runs a treat

... needle in my foot where they tried both elbows, hands then finally got it in my foot of all places. The operation itself was a success just the before and after that was hectic. If you can take any comfort from the fact I'm as much of a d!ck now as I was before the operation then I'm glad!! :D

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 sell before winter as they know it ...

He'll love it, wish my dad had done that for me. I'd bought a selection of tools before I joined the Airforce and while away they went missing. I found out after I'd re-stocked it was the old fella that had scored them

The plate and key is a nice touch too mate

Wallabies Vs All Blacks Bledisloe game live commentary feed at my desk while I pretend to work

All Blacks are smashing them might have to sneak down to Heli Admin and watch a bit before smoko.

Gangs Of New York.

Seen it before...it's a decent flick.

... my niece's 3rd birthday party. No plans for the rest of the day. I need to get the SX booked in for a service at some point. That needs to be done before I go to the Isle of Man.

1st world problems.

I've been out on the bikesevery evening this week so far. the wife is away with her mum and i'm just making the most of this decent whether before it turns to shite again.

... like a sure footed beast and the lower revs but higher torque (compared to a 4 cylinder) is catching me out, it's taking me a glance at the speedo before I realise I'm going 30-40 km faster than I sensibly should be! The new one must indeed be a beast. (devil)

Oh hello Good point there. Might do my bike shopping after 1 Jan then.

There should be some exceptional deals on new bikes over the winter as the majority of current models will have to be preregistered before 1 january if they don't meet Euro 4 rules.

First night shift, only half way thru' and struggling already. Despite my best efforts I fell asleep on the helicopter coming out which stuffed me up for sleeping before shift once onboard so only got 3 hrs in.

Thank god they have a decent coffee machine out here.

... knee sliders.........chicks will be throwing themselves at you (rock) Just get out and deck out (giggle) Thanks buddy I totally agree re knee before cylinder head protectors, and I'm loving the phrase 'Just get out and deck out ' Carpe de Pasty...

I worked for a German company for over twenty years,they were slow to respond,never ever wrong,arrogant but hugely successful
I now work for japs and haven't quite worked them out yet except they are absolute workaholics and do insane hours,work comes before everything else

Unthinkable - seen it before but it's brutal and well acted and asks some serious questions .

... liking the RnineT as it suits my 90% of riding to work and blasting down lanes at the weekend. Yes clearly I'll be looking for a sports bike before the end of the summer (848 or ZX636 or the like as 1,000s are just too much for the roads down here). YET it'll be an addition not a replacement ...

I think you are right that the PRC is a big danger to the future with their 'investment' in the west. We will be totally reliable on them for money before we can stop it.

A fraction of today's catch before Blade took his scalpel to the catch to prepare a lovely barbecued fish supper



Had that many I gave 3 of neighbours at least 6 fish each.
