... this (attached) really interesting article in the IAM's Advanced driving about why we as drivers, riders or pedestrians simply don't see things, bikes in particular. Useful information for you to add to your armoury next time you approach a junction. And it's written by an RAF pilot! Ride safe. ...

... we even left work that we weren't going to do silly speeds, no dodgy overtakes and nothing dangerous. Just a nice sedate ride to get out on the bikes and have a laugh. ...with the prospect of getting out on my first rideout of the year with somebody else, somebody I know and the added BHP that ...

... a V4 600 race homologation special would be nice. I hope at least one of the Big Four give something unusual a go over the coming seasons. Such bikes were prevalent in the 90's but they all seem interested in producing lookalikee unit shifters now. Sign of the times I guess. (Goes back under ...

... sell to you sir, yet.... 8) Thanks for the advice on this, it's the road going version with the removable baffle, looks in great condition as the bikes on done 7k miles in 6 years! I'm going to get out the original exhaust box and have a look through things at the weekend as I've got the instructions ...

I believe most of the new Triumph bikes have coded keys now (not just the sports), but yeah around 2012 and earlier are just blank keys.

I saw this on your Facebook updates, Di.

Its all to easy to forget just how dangerous bikes can be but unfortunately racing/ road incidents and accidents will always happen.

The most important thing at the end of any weekend is that everyone is able to drive home safely at the end of it all.

... was out on track. Our hearts bled for Jade, Ian's widow, as she bravely donned leathers and lid, and led a parade lap in his memory, on one of his bikes...I will never forget the haunting silence as we all gathered in pit lane, then the rolling thunder of the bikes as they set off around the circuit, ...

If you want a Ducati for the pleasure of owning and riding one, i would be very tempted to go for one of the older bikes, Jon.

I've have them on three bikes this year. They're da bomb unless you're going top top top of the range race batteries in my view tbh.
