Got home and found out what happened to the guy who pulled out in front of the lady motorcyclist from months back. 9 points. 6 month ban. £660 fine plus around £150 fees. I bet the lady involved is relieved it's all finished with now

At least he's been prosecuted. That's a decent penalty as well.

Moted the zx10r first time out on a bike this year short and sweet but good to get out for a quick blast.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.

Took a look for some roads to play on near work. I don't have to go far to get into some decent country lanes.

Picked up a TL1000r on a whim. Memories of the Pembrey track day all those years ago when Steve binned his ImageImageImageImage

Blimey, that's a blast from the past. TLRSteve loved binning his bikes. I think he did it 3 times at Donny.

Always fancied one. The opportunity presented itself yesterday and I didn't want to miss it. Maybe I'll actually ride this one!

They do sound good. Steve's used to set every car alarm off in the road.

Picked the SX up

Pulled away from the dealer behind a car. I'm still in the car park. He stops. I'm about 4 metres behind. Reverse light comes on. I sound the horn and put the lights on and yet he carries on and reverses into me. Twat. Then he goes to drive off. Double twat. Someone who saw it steps out and stops him. Driver swears he didn't see me, then says he didn't hit me. I show him the tyre mark on his bumper. He then becomes reasonable. I took his details and a photo of him and the car. One of the Kwak techs comes out and checks the bike. It's fine.

God thats just the worst thing. So many people not prepared to take responsibility for their stupidity.

4 metres? not exactly clever not to look.

Man after all that work by the service department for some tit to hit into you. I swear as soon as the sun comes out people loose their common sense. Sorry to hear you got hit Kwacky but blinking glad it hasn't caused a problem with your bike

Got a free pass to go out this afternoon, which is unusual but er indoors is full of cold and felt a bit rough so she said you might as well go out as I'm having a kip.
So headed out the 999 the race seat I fitted is a bit higher and I could tell on my wrists, anyway got to chew valley lakes and saw the ice cream van and couldn't resist !!

Its a good job i have a big selection of tools. I needed a few funny star shaped allen keys to take off the sprocket and chain rubbing strip. And massive spanner for front sprocket. Breaking the chain was dead easy. Luckily got a brand new one of those tools too.

Only bummer is whilst on a paddock stand i cant remove the rear sprocket
