When I got pulled on the Sprint RS I called my mate who is a partner specialising in criminal law. He didn't mention to me about getting the NIP in person. He told me about the 14 day rule but nothing else.

... a seasoned and sensible copper, the passenger a young twot. As the younger one started to rant and get all aggressive you could see the driver was getting a bit pissed off with his colleague. The driver told me he had come out of the services, saw me riding in the middle lane and pass 3 cars to ...

HAHA beat me to it, was just about to say I'm 43 and my wife is 7 years younger than me

New bike day is ace. Enjoy getting acquainted.

... Great sales experience from Mike at Jordan Bikes and Neil from Bike Transporters was really helpful and professional too. Looking forward to getting out on it tomorrow (happened to book a days leave in readiness [emoji41]) as I've got to relearn how to ride a SuperBike with major counter ...

Yep, I appreciate that.

As I said, I have no problem with getting pulled to get a friendly reminder there are police about and given my speed I'm happy that my licence remains points free.

He does say that the tests were very close. I know that the PR4s are very popular.

I'm liking the Z8s on the SX, they seem to suit it. I'm getting decent mileage from them as well or though they are starting to square off but that's no surprise of 4,000 miles winter riding.

Ha ha and now Donald Trump and his son invading Scotland, in fairness it's been going on a while.... Now the natives are getting restless ha ha

... I know if it were me I'd be "Feck that guy, I pay his wages...I'll do what I want!!" ....and I think they frequently do that, just getting caught up in the moment?? On the plus side, at least they don't have the comms systems that car racing does....didn't they try those for a while??

Perhaps great news mate bit I don't think there was ever s question of not getting it!!

Not today but in about 8 hours, getting on a plane with 4 kids to the south of France.

We took our first child backpacking in Vietnam, but the twins and middle child haven't really left Buxton so looking forward to watching their reactions when we take off.

Needless to say they are somewhat excited

It's been cleaned more than it's been ridden this year. That'll soon change.

I had some black screen bolts on before. I'll see if I've still got them.

Lots still to do on the bike but it's getting there.

That's the problem with Triumph owners these days :D I just know I have difficulty getting the bloody thing off! I'll be contorted over the bike with my foot on the rear brake and a mighty long torque wrench to try and get leverage. I came across a deep 28mm socket ...

Happy Birthday, mate !! Enjoy your day and fingers crossed you're doing something like getting drunk or going out for a meal or both tonight

... not an option especially when the western Nations are so massively in debt. It riles me so much because this is part of my job and the taxman is getting ever harder on small business and tax payers as apparently they need every penny. Yet big business and the wealthiest are left well alone.

Good luck getting the front sprocket off on your own. Kawasaki are notorious for it.

I've found a shop specialising in enclosures for various reptiles, amphibians and inverts. I've been in touch with them about getting a custom made set up for my new spider. It won't be cheap but it should look good once it's set up. This is the sort of stuff they do. Mine should look ...

And it's helping with my cardio

I'm 44 Blade, hadn't run for a few months, and did 3 mile (5 km) a couple of weeks back and was still doing just over 8 min miles.

Makes total sense to test it first rather than adjust it blind.. also be prepared to reset all suspension settings to the book!

I love that excitement of getting a new bike!
