... like you've committed to the overtake slightly before he's committed to his line and corner which is always going to be a risk. I'd also say that after following him for a while you can see his lines are a bit wayward so you'd have to expect him to do the unexpected? FWIW you looked pretty good ...

I'm with you there Kwacky

First day home after night shifts, 5 pm and I'm ready for bed. It took me ages to do the groceries as I was just staring blankly at shelves, brain just wouldn't click into gear.

... say you want to book a few trackdays but need to know when the bike's going to be back? I took my old daytona into a local Triumph specialist and after four weeks and repeated phone calls they told me they didn't know what was up with it as it had no fault codes. I had told them it had no codes ...

Agreed. I went down today, after what's essentially been a 2-3 week lay off because of my elbow. Which still isn't really better, but not doing anything is gripping my sh*t. So chest today. Felt good to be back in there. About 10% weaker, ...

getting on a helicopter in about 4 hrs and going home! With a quick stop at Darwin Qantas lounge to have a few drinks. Once home (7 hours after the drinks at Darwin for the concerned) I'll be dropping my bag, grabbing some clean gear and back track to the girls house

My trusty old Alpinestars were finally laid to rest yesterday after several years of faithful service.

Any recommendations for replacements?

... you can take spares, tools, clothes, tea making facilities etc. You don't have to worry about getting home should the worst happen and riding home after a trackday can be quite hard work anyway! My opinion is that a trailer can take a lot of the stresses out of a trackday!

The pics of 3 years ago have been popping up on my fb page.

I'm already going for a weekend there 2 weeks after this.
Hmm can I manage 2 trips or not?

Kawasaki Birmingham seem a very good dealer they have certainly looked after you

Eurotrash, it's like the last 15yrs never happened, literally had tears rolling down my face at one point.

Thank you C4, it feels like a Friday after that.....

Yep....'leather softener' or whatever for car upholstery after they're dry. Or even just for regular use 'til they soften up....really made a huge difference on my admittedly lower grade suit. Worked even better on my Triumph two-piece, which was actually quite nice cowhide.

And my thong.

Stuff them full of newspaper and stick them in the airing cupboard overnight.

That's a pretty good idea as long as they don't dry too quickly. Maybe get some sort of leather conditioner for after if you don't have some already?

Ooops, then. What's the recoil like....up and to the right??? Most are, if I recall. I really don't remember or even think I ever knew, recoil is after you've fired and I wasn't going 5 rounds a second so of no consequence really. And I'm done reminiscing the times I did use firearms mate, this ...

... get chance then D, fire an SA80 left handed, in the shoulder (not from the hip, I know what you 'Muricans are like) ,full mag on auto.

... across in front of the face. Got no end of complaints from what I recall....not sure, but I think they spent a fortune reworking the design after the initial issue. I'm trying to think what brand my backup is and for the life of me I can't remember at the moment.....?? Some .32 or something....not ...

I recorded the match. My boss asked if I wanted to go home early so I could watch it live, after careful consideration I thought it would be wiser not to accept the offer because of others within the department, don't want to 'use' seniority over others, he did say to ...
